MUST HAVE BEEN PSYCHO!

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2001)

I must have been psycho to sit and watch even an hour of this disgusting, stupid, badly written film. It started off extremely slow, and went nowhere fast. Everything was so abrupt, I don't know if that was intentional, but it came off wrong. The abruptness didn't give you enough time to care about the victim's, and the fact that they were getting slashed or stabbed, most of the victims weren't all that likable in the first place.I could've definitely done without all the sex scenes, which once again sexually objectified women.Patrick Bateman wasn't a character you loved to hate, but the character you hate to watch. The movie was full of yuppies in thousand dollar suits doing drugs, and talking dirty about women;not a recipe for success to me. The whole movie had a what are they doing, and why am I watching this feel to it. Christian Bale's dialogue was ridiculous, and it sounded like he was trying too hard to be precise and stilted in his vocabulary. Jared Leto looked an absolute fool in his attire, and his character was easliy dismissed. The killing scenes were comedic, and the only enjoyment I recieved from the film(hope that doesn't make me sound too sick). Willem Dafoe had a grossly underdeveloped role as did Reese Witherspoon.The ending was too hard to completely understand, and by the end I really didn't care, pretty much how I felt throughout the whole thing.I'm really curious to know what I was supposed to feel after watching this movie. Was it disgust, repulsion, or maybe nothing? If so, they did a bang up job.I felt all three of those emotions in the span of time it took for this monstrosity to play itself out. I'm just happy I rented the piece of trash instead of paying full movie price.
