Utterly, utterly appalling!!

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2000)

I went to see this film on the basis of the heavyweight names attached to it (and the fact I had nothing else to do one cold spring evening in Milton Keynes!). I have paid to see some bad films in my time (see coneheads, the burbs, Free Willy 3 etc) but none of them have come any close to this pile of dirge!! I enjoy American football at home on the settee with a beer no problem but at least there is some sense of reality. Nothing can prepare you for the mind numbing 3 hours. Even my monster pot of popcorn did not help the time pass. This film has no plot, no depth to the characters and even the so called live action (loose usage of the word 'action') sequences looks contrived and false. With so many good films out at the moment (American Beauty, Toy Story 2, even Galaxy Quest), avoid this Oliver Stone selfcentred and egotistical film at all costs. There, I've said it.
