One of the most overrated films of all time

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2000)

Give me a break. What do you see in this movie? Sure, Spacey's a great actor, but we knew that already. Sam Mendes is a fake. The "petal sequences" are embarrassing, most of the jokes are cheap, the cinematography is in poor taste and the characters are so wildly stereotyped... I can't find the reason why it has a 9.0 average being such a piece of trash. I'm sure it's gonna win like a thousand Oscars, but after Shakespeare in Love won the Best Picture award, I won't be surprised. The film tries so hard to look like an independent film but it could never be one. Sam Mendes, don't steal our money anymore. And Spielberg. First The Haunting, then this... I think Dreamworks isn't a good idea. I'll give it a 3, but I'm sure that after the Oscars it will be a 1 for me. And please, if anyone can tell me why it's suppossed to be a masterpiece, please e-mail me, because I don't know.
