A total yawn, don't waste your time (or your money)

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2008)

Every scene seemed to be set up with an eye to gaining an award for cinematography and all failed miserably, whereas a film like Hero really delivers. The Dunkirk scene was the most stylized, unreal and boringly looooong part of the film and all the London street scenes looked like inaccurate sets. So many pregnant pauses it could have had sextuplets! A waste of great actresses like Brenda Blethyn and Harriet Walter. Unfortunately, this film has got the critics eye and will no doubt clean up at the awards, another travesty. Interestingly nearly half the people who commented on this film hated it despite it's high score.
