Not even worth a nomination, let alone an award

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2014)

I never saw Argo when it was in the movie theaters. Mainly because i think that Ben Affleck is a lousy actor and also because I read a lot of reviews telling me that the story was inaccurate. Well, I finally saw the movie on a slow afternoon at a friend's house without paying for it. Thanks for that. Because it certainly is not worth to pay for and it is not even worth the time . First of all I fell asleep several times while watching the movie and had to start it over and over again. So much for suspense. I am so tired of movies depicting Americans as the saviors of this world. I am so tired of American movies showing the people of other countries as bad and dangerous and inferior. Maybe the Hollywood movie people should remember that the US is a melting pot of people from all over the world and there is nobody living in this country, who did not come from somewhere else originally. I will never understand how this movie got nominated and won Academy awards. Actually that is not true, I understand that these awards are bought and obviously that year the gang around Ben Affleck spent enough money to win the price. I also understand that even IMDb is a forum where people vote and review just to promote a movie because they are paid for it. So whatever rating we see on this movie is not really representative of people who actually paid for seeing the movie. Well, I did not pay either and I am so glad I didn't.
