This movie isn't ALL that great

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2008)

This movie is nominated for so many awards mostly because it's a drama and that's what always gets nominated. It's not that great. If you have seen the trailer you've seen everything, there is nothing new in between. All the romance and all the war we expect from it is minimal. I don't mind how a movie ends, it can be happy or tragic or inconclusive as long as the middle section is good, but this movie you wait and wait for it to kick off and it never happens, its long, it drags, and it's a bit boring. I didn't get goosebumps from the romance (you know that sigh feeling you get like when watching the Notebook) and i didn't clench my butt cheeks from suspense during his time in war as there is none (the preview really over blew that part). Like i said, if you've seen the trailer, watch it twice and there's the whole movie. Not worth the 10 bucks. just rent it. PS: just because a movie has great actors doesn't mean it's going to be good. by the way Robbie the main character is more than a good actor, hes great! they could've used his talent so much more, so much potential there, what a waste.
