Crouching mess hidden movie

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2002)

This movie like "The Blair Witch Project" shows the power of what in advertising lingo is known as "The Bandwagon Effect". That is to say that if you get enough people to write and say good things about an item/movie you can create a critical mass of people such that many more will rate an item/movie higher than they would so they can feel "hip" and with the in crowd. Well, I refuse to follow the lemmings to the sea.
This movie was pretentious and boring. And no metaphor can excuse the sword dancing via wires on the tree tops(silly).
My advice. Ignore all the hype and the Oscar. Watch the movie and think about your own feelings and opinions.
This movie in no way deserves to be in the top 100.
