Good, not fantastic

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2002)

So no one will get me wrong, I wish to assure you that I did enjoy this movie. Yet, it was disappointing. Because I had heard a lot about it, and even though I might not have expected something better, but I had expected something different.
Being John Malkovich has a lot of talented actors, and I maybe most outstanding are John Cusack and Cameron Diaz. But I can't help feeling that that does not help. I'm not very fond of the story in particular. Maybe it's just too different and philosophical for me.
In my opinion, this is a movie quite a bit over average, but not a top movie. And with all the hype going around, I was a bit disappointed. 7/10.
