Annoyed by all the critics

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 1998)

I'll keep this short and simple.. American History X is an amazing film. I find myself very annoyed at how most critics claim that this movie could have been better if directed by a Spielberg or a Stone. In my opinion, Mr. Kaye did a REMARKABLE job. Poetic, tragic.. Beautiful at times.. It's unfair to say that Spielberg could have done a better job.. This was Kaye's film.. Not Spielberg's. Kaye's directorial debut blew me away far more than any recent Spielberg film While Saving Private Ryan's visuals left me disturbed yet tired due to a cliched screenplay, AHX left me crying, shocked, disturbed.. and thinking.
