Waste of time...

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 1998)

This was one of the most painful movies that I have ever watched in my entire life. The Fifth Element was the worst, this came in second. I honestly don't know how anyone could have given this movie a rating of 10. It completely sucked! There were so many inconsistencies I couldn't keep track of them. The plot was so unbelievable it was laughable. Liv Tyler's character was so annoying that it made me want to smack the TV. I really feel bad for Billy Bob Thornton, he was the only even semi-believable character in the whole movie. I definitely wouldn't want this movie on my resume' if I was him.
Everyone keeps talking about how the effects were 'so' cool, I just didn't see it. Maybe if the same effects were in a decent movie with plot they would have been good. But in this movie where the story sucked and the acting bad, I was so annoyed that I just couldn't seem to enjoy the special effects. Maybe if I would of put on some 3-D glasses it would have been more tolerable, but I doubt anything would have helped this movie except shutting off the VCR.
By the time this movie was over I had felt like the life had been sucked out of me. It was horrible. It was a complete waste of time. The best piece of advice I can give you on this is to just not watch it and spare yourself the agony.
