Why do some movie directors make stupid movies?

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2002)

Talk about a waste of celluloid. Think of all the money that goes into the entire production of a movie. I visited the Website for this movie some time ago. The site made this movie seem like if it would be an interesting movie, especially since it's a movie that deals with the concept of time travel (supposedly). I finally got around to seeing this movie. While watching it, I was trying to figure out what the heck this movie was about. Was this a movie about a paranoid schizophrenic who has hallucinations? Was this a movie about time travel? Was this a movie about a sinister extraterrestrial? Did the movie have to do with any of that at all? All I know is that I was very bored while watching this movie. What's even worse than the movie itself is the reaction of some of the viewers of this movie. I can't stand reading reviews from people who try to find hidden symbolism or try to look for a subliminal layer in all the films that they watch, when there is none of that. Can't they just watch a movie and review it objectively, for what it is, rather than trying to look for a nonexistent underlying meaning to the movie? A stupid movie is simply that: a stupid movie. A boring movie is simply that: a boring movie. "Donnie Darko" is nothing but a glorified B-Movie
