Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2006)

i thought that this was the most overrated film of the year. Phillip Seymour Hoffman's performance was also so overrated. i thought that i would watch this film to see what all the fuss was about; after watching it i felt unmoved, empty and disappointed. Hoffman's Capote is so much impersonation i personally felt that heath ledger should have won all of the major acting awards. it was a standard drama, nothing special, i am still in shock and disbelief that it managed to get best film and director nominations at the Oscars over the constant gardener and king Kong! i think everyone feels that they have to like the film because it is fashionable to, as this is the year of the smaller independent films.
