Okay movie

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2005)

I was unpleasantly surprised at this movie; maybe because of all its hype, who knows. I was under the impression that it was a great kids' movie, but my son was completely and utterly bored to tears. He actually told me to wake him up when the movie was over.
It was a slow moving movie; I kept waiting for the climax, wondering when I would start enjoying the movie. It was sad that my favorite part of the movie was the ending, when Sylvia (Kate Winslet) dies. I was actually sort of annoyed by Johnny Depp's character, finding myself sympathizing with his wife by his behavior and not blaming her for being the way she was.
Besides that, Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet display their fine acting abilities, which kept my interest.
