Overrated..

Rating: 2/10 (12 December 2006)

Completely. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a movie about a newspaper editor? How boring of an idea is that? If this weren't a "Great Movie" I would have already forgotten about it by now. Some of the techniques used to make the film may have been revolutionary but that is irrelevant in terms of how good the film actually is. That is significant but should go down in some cinematography textbook, just because someone discovered some revolutionary method of film-making doesn't mean it makes his/her story interesting, quite the contrary. If you want to see a classic see Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, or His Girl Friday. Anything but this snoozer.
