Entertaining somewhat

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2004)

I rented this movie as part of my quest to see every best picture winner. I founded a good way to kill a saturday afternoon. It's not the worse movie to ever win Best Picture. Though given the choices that year I think the Academy may have picked wrong. But still I won't hold that against the film. It's story is followable, the cast is excellent, the score was well good though after hearing it about 8,000,000 times before I saw the movie I was a tad sick of it. I cant say that is the best movie Ive ever seen but I enjoyed i would give it a 7 out of 10. The movie deserved its Score and Screenplay oscars, I will give it that. I believe it won for best costume as well but for me costumes have to be on the scale of Gladiator, Gandhi, or Ran in order to deserve that prize
