In no way is this the Greatest Film Ever

Rating: 2/10 (31 May 2006)

I know that this is regularly voted as the best movie ever made, and is even in the top 20 or so on this very site, but i saw nothing in this film to convince me that this was the case.
The plot seemed laboured, and even if it was based on a true story, it could surely have been livelier or at the very least a bit shorter. By the time the film finished i could not wait to forget all about it, and watch a proper movie.
Maybe it's the films reputation that makes it appear so bland and boring. Anything with so much hype is always going to be a let-down, but i honestly just think that it's so popular simply because of the reputation that its Director/Star has built up over the years.
Take my advice: Avoid this film unless you need a quick-working cure for insomnia.
