The Most Over-rated Movie of all Time!!!

Rating: 2/10 (23 June 2014)

Black Swan had so much press and excessive hype going for it at the time it came out. I have to say it was quite possibly the most over-rated film I have personally ever seen. The storyline had no real premise and was even downright stupid! What was the big deal and how possible is this movie rated an 8-REALLY? Seemed like it just went from scene to scene with no continuity. The acting-especially that of Natalie Portman-was average at best. I find her to be quite wooden as an actress-no real layers of depth in the roles she has played throughout her career. No way should Portman's performance have been deemed Oscar-worthy...her whining was quite annoying throughout the movie. She played the part of an infantile young woman who needed the approval of people around her at every turn. Several other characters in the movie seemed to have no real purpose in the story as well-very shallow character development in general. The only tolerable element of the movie was the stylish cinematography. In general I would not recommend the movie at all--complete waste of my time lost to view it!
