Joined IMDb just so I could post a review on this movie

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2013)

It appears to me that all of the reviews on this movie are either 10/10 or 1/10. To all of those who boast this movie is "The best movie ever created" or "a most inspiring masterpiece", your reviews, to me, are incredibly naive. If you can actually decipher this movie then sure I suppose I can see where you get your "masterpiece" view. What's happening here though is that you are focusing purely on 'the story' and completely forgetting that it's a movie. You are finding some sort of poetry that makes sense to you and inspires you. Where you are naive is when you say 'the movie' is what is great. What is great, in reality, is the story. You would be just as well served by reading the book. The movie, however, is so horrible it's painful. If the movie was a Shakespearean play performed in Shakespearean times then I can understand how people could enjoy it. It honestly views as a play on a stage. The made up languages, accents, and ways of speaking are so outlandish it's impossible to follow, and horribly acted... The feeling of the movie is fake and incredibly laughable; especially when it's clear that the director was going for realism and suspense but failed so very horribly. If you are looking to be inspired and want to see what people are talking about with their 10/10 reviews then I would suggest you read the book. Or watch the movie, I don't care, but most of you will spend 3 hours of your life like I did wincing at the horribleness of this movie.
