They laughed

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2004)

This is the only movie I've seen in recent years where the audience openly laughed during every "solemn" and/or "emotional" moment. Mr. Oliver Stone, I think I speak for hundreds when I say I want my $10.50 back. You should be ashamed about this film's budget, considering the poor, poor quality of the final product. Please: do the Sting and Bono thing instead and feed starving people! Surely you'll do better there than behind a camera.
And Colin Farrell needs a new agent. The Irish accents of the lads in Aristotle's class suggested a new form of Bollywood: let's call it Dubbywood (for Dublin-based nepotism / fakery). Mr. Farrell, you embarrass your people, and you must think Americans are real dopes not to distinguish Irish accents from the typical British nonsense passed off to us in historical movies. Get real. I'm sorry you have my money.
