Wicked

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2002)

I have no idea why this film is disliked so much by the previous people, who have commented. OK the movie doesn't include the white house being blown to smitheriens or a light sabre battle but it does tell a story, and that story is told remarkably well. If you come to this film expecting it to be on a par with the no brain blockbusters of today then you will be dissapointed. This film tells a story about a man and how his life has affected everyone around him. He is a man that cannot give love but he has to be loved. It is just a great film that requires you to think and observe. Orson Welles was a genius who was so underused and underated in his lifetime that it is only correct that this should start to be rectified. Pity it wasn't done earlier, so he could have made more films. Another great film is Touch of Evil.
