Badly promoted but amazing movie!

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2004)

I thought Donnie Darko was just another teen thriller, and didn't bother to go watch it. It took three years for the good word-of-mouth to reach me, and now I have just finished watching the movie! It's truly amazing movie and I just don't know how to describe what I experienced through the movie. No wonder the distributor could not promote the movie properly 3 yrs ago. It's just too original and new and it's so hard to explain what this movie is. It's a Sci-Fi movie and a coming-of-age drama and suspense thriller all at a time! I just think that Donnie Darko is such a bad title as it didn't stir my imagination before actually seeing the movie. Or maybe it sounds differently to me as I am not a native English speaker.... Anyways, I think the creator of this movie is super genius and I am so happy that I actually watched the movie even though it took three years since its original release.
