good ... not great

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2001)

This was a damn good movie. Did it deserve the Oscar for best picture? No. It was good but not the great epic it was made out to be. The acting was ok. The storyline was ok. In fact, the only thing it deserved to be nominated for was special and visual effects. Even so, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was better, and it was also MUCH more deserving of the best picture award. Good movie but did not at all deserve that Oscar.
