Too much glitter, not enough movement

Rating: 5/10 (20 March 2014)

A movie that I thought was going to be a full speed ahead Hustling movie turned into a long detailed storyline movie. This reminded me of a HIGHLY GLOSSY Killing Them Softly or The Counsellor, both great movies, however this American Hustle was just such a sugar coated movie it was ridiculous. I understand the deserved nominations and awards but to me this was a long drawn out story with not too much interest sake for me other than Amy Adams. Don't get me wrong, one of my favorite actors is Christane Bale, but it was the way the movie was executed did not fully keep my attention satisfied. I found my mind wandering around during the whole movie really, thinking about why isn't it shorter, or why is there so much "glitter" going on when it could of been toned down.
Extravagant lifestyle I get that, the vision and feel they wanted to portray for this time period of when the story was happening. Not sure if I was completely sold on the environment.
Storyline seemed like a better book read than a movie watch. I was first tempted to buy this movie before it came out but now after watching it on the plan from Dominican Republic I am not going to buy it. A little disappointing for me, oh well. Great movie for awards season for sure, had the exact right components of a winning movie. I should have expected not the most fast paced movie and more story but the "glitter" and "glorified'ness" of the movie through me off completely.
At 138 mins this is a seat sweater for sure, 14A for cleavage and a shot or two of Amy Adams nips. Budget of 40 million dollars for "glittering" everything up, mostly hairspray and deep plunging dresses. Grossing at 146 Million this movie is quite a hard watch in my eyes.
Till next time, take a break from plunging cleavage dresses.
