Good but Oscar worthy???

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2001)

Ok is it oscar worthy yes and no. It is a very good movie and should get awards for the Visual effects as they were absalutly wonderful but best picture??? I think Not. For one yes it did have good directing but Ang Lee was better in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Acting. Ok it did have good acting but sorry Tom Hanks Did a better job then Russell Crowe. Other then that yes it was a good movie it had a ok storyline and for the acting that was good but lacked a few things as did the story line. For one the story was the same throughout the whole movie you knew what was going to happen before it happened. Fight after Fight. Sorry he wouldn't have lasted but maybe 3 fights not as many as he did. So people say it's a movie it dosn't have to be accurate. Well I think it should be somewhat accurate. other then that it did hold my attention and the music was totally good. Richard harris did a good job. It's a good movie and it's worth watching but it really didn't earn best picture in my opinion. That would go to crouching Tiger hidden Dragan. (own both on DVD) I'd Give it a 8/10
