great, but lacking

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2004)

In short, I really liked it. I thought the filming was well done. Beautiful cinematography. And the soundtrack was good and fitting, but I must say, I had a problem with the character development. Especially Sam, Natalie Portman. I really liked her character and the whole relationship started out really well, but towards the end, she was kinda just there. And they way she acted during the end didn't fit at all. She suddenly became so weak when she was the one who made Large strong again. I think the movie lacked building of the relationships. But other than that it was real good. It was hard to relate to the characters themselves, but I think we can all relate to the situation if we try.
