Pointless and bland

Rating: 4/10 (30 October 2011)

Well, before I actually saw the movie I had been reading lots of positive references so I had considered it a movie worth watching. After I have seen it I was not merely disappointed but also rather depressed. The whole movie was something like a silent picture: You can watch it, though you can't quite understand what the creators want you to think of it.
In the matter of fact, it is exactly the kind of movie that seems to be a perfect artistic movie - it contains epic themes like ballet and schizophrenia, depressive and negative view on life and world and a charming bad-ass with deviations. Sadly I found it so artistic that it was more likely boring and bland and the main so-called bad-ass was awfully irritating me the whole movie because of the actor and his insufficient ability to represent the character on higher level than a high school play.
However, what disappointed me the most was probably the end of the movie. I won't write any spoilers here but just for you to know - a good movie shouldn't end up like this, that end indicates that the director didn't know what to do with the main character and therefore he chose the easiest way to end it. And it also made the whole movie pointless and useless to watch.
It's just my opinion but I consider a great movie a movie, which I'm capable of watching more than once and I still enjoy it. And I certainly wouldn't watch THAT movie more than once.
These 4 stars belong to Natalie Portman only, for her performance is just brilliant.
