Wow! What is this mess?

Rating: 2/10 (20 October 2010)

I'm gonna be very, very frank: I hated this movie. I don't get all the praise towards it. It's an original film, but one of those which the difference doesn't bring good results. I didn't like it the slighest bit. In fact, there wasn't a single moment I liked. It was incredibly dull and dumb.
Lots of things don't fit well (if anything fits well in it at all). For example, what was that goofyness of the ceilings being SO lowheight in that job, forcing its workers to duck the whole time? Another thing I noticed on that job was that the woman who interviewed Craig misunderstood every little thing he said and even claimed a few times that she didn't know what he was talking about. It also doesn't make sense that Dr. Lester kept insisting that he talked poorly, that people had a hard time to understand what he says - when he speaks perfectly well. Plus, he said he was 105 years old. I don't believe it! Yes, he was an old man, but he couldn't possibly be that old! Not even close to that!
None of the characters were minimally captivating or interesting. Craig himself seemed to become something like a nutcase through the film's course. Besides, that ridiculous and alarming obsession of people in wanting to be John Malkovich... including Lotte (Craig's wife), who even wanted to go as far as becoming a transsexual (give me a break!!!) - even if she didn't get to do it.
Everything in this joke of a movie was insane and ridiculous. The fact that the other woman manipulates Malkovich to make love with Craig and Lotte when they were inside him (and the way he was controlled by Craig). The fact that in the end Malkovich gets rid of all that mess only to be possessed again by numerous people who completely dominate him - and the portal is never destroyed! Malkovich even goes inside himself to one point. And what he sees is hundreds of Malkovichs! They're everywhere!
Constantly hearing John Malkovich's name bored me to death. I got pretty tired of listening to his name all the time. Plus, why is this movie about being John Malkovich and not someone more interesting? For example, like George Clooney?
The entire scenario looks awful and so lifeless. As for Cameron Diaz, if I didn't already know she was in the film I probably wouldn't recognize her. It was quite a shock to see the beautiful Cameron Diaz (the gorgeous and super sexy Tina Carlyle from 'The Mask' - a movie that I like very much) like this: really ugly, the combination of that awful freezy hair with that awful color and those more than horrible clothes. All of this made her look almost like a witch. The character she portrayed wasn't likable either. Plus, her performance was very poor (just like everyone else in the film).
Everyone in the film thinks that Malkovich was in a jewel thief movie. As far as I know, he was never in a jewel thief movie before this. Ironically, he was in 'Johnny English' (2003), which is a jewel thief movie - and his character, Pascal Sauvage, was involved in it until his neck.
In conclusion, this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
