Waste of money, time and a good idea

Rating: 1/10 (4 March 2001)

Having read reviews and the basic idea of the movie, I really was looking forward to seeing this film. Little did I know it would be the worst movie I ever had the misfortune of paying to see. I guess what really made it awful was that it began with a great idea, but went nowhere with it. So many questions were left.
(Major spoilers ahead)
Why wasn't there a bigger fight from John Malkovich when his head was being taken over? Who would pay to be in Malkovich's head? Nothing happens. Why was Orson Beane's character the ruler of Malkovich when all those people went with him? Why would they go for "eternal life" if they had no part in it? And why use a lame "everyone's Malkovich" when John Malkovich goes in his own head. Wouldn't it be better to have him facing his hidden selves, rather than being left to fleeting background in the Lotte and Maxine chase? Who DIDN'T know as soon as Orson Beane's character explained what would happen if you got in too late how the story would end?
All in all a BIG waste of a GOOD idea. (not even 1 out of 10)
