Did it deserve a good review?

Rating: 3/10 (1 November 2000)

I read the review that IMDb gave and, when analyzed, the movie is fairly good. However, how many people analyze a movie to that extent while viewing it? I enjoy a movie that has a comfortable mix of interesting storyline and entertainment value. Granted "Being John Malkovich" is imaginative in exploring the idea of being someone else but, I did not think the movie was entertaining at all. The particular brand of humor was somewhat ridiculous. I thought that the cinamatography could have enhanced the ideas being conveyed. I also thought the movie would have been more interesting if one or two ideas were fully developed rather than several aspects being merely glanced over. I would not be suprised if this film was an experiment. If it was, I would be curious to see what becomes of it.
