Pretentious and stupid

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2001)

Christian Bale is absolutely the most obnoxious lead actor It has ever been my misfortune to watch for three hours -- and he's the BEST part of the film. This began Spielberg's artistic phase when he started reinventing himself as an artist so he could finally win Academy Awards. This may have paid off for him but is extraordinarily painful to the audience. This isn't even worth watching as a joke. My score: 1 out of 10
