This movie almost completely sucks

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2007)

I'm utterly surprised at the slew of positive comments about this movie. I know I shouldn't care what other people think of me/us, but I'm embarrassed that this movie might become one of the movies people watch in the future. Might they see a show like Blood Diamond as insight into culture from back in 2006?
This movie is rated a 1 (one star) for storyline malfunctions, hacked motivations, and an unacceptable amount of eye-rolling from me, it's most recent viewer. I still have a mild headache (from the eye-rolling, yeah). After I finish this, I will contact Warner Bros. with my lawyers' details.
I'm graciously giving Blood Diamond a bump to 3/10 stars due to rather excellent performances by actors cursed with a silly story, but reasonable dialog. The dialog deserves some credit, but also the general A/V production was wonderful quality. On the DVD w/ small speakers, the voices were easily heard despite heavy accents (to my American ears) and a lot of background noise. i.e. great balance between the audio for dialog and background/music. And cleanly edited, too.
Well there you have it. This movie was not impressive, and I hope it falls into a forgotten dimension.
