Snore-fest

Rating: 1/10 (11 April 2006)

Okay, firstly, i'm British so i don't get the whole Americans rock undertone thing that was going on but come on! This film sucked. I fell asleep and i never do that at films. Firstly: Mumblers! I couldn't hear what a lot of them were saying because they mumbled and spoke weirdly for almost all the film. And i know it wasn't just my hearing because i've asked others about it. Secondly, why was it in black and white? Talk about pretentious Mr. Clooney! Okay the picture was black and white back then but the people weren't! He could have easily done it in colour with the t.v. screens in black and white or something. Thirdly, what was with all the god damn speeches? I felt like dying at one point of some particularly long and dire speech. I find history very interesting but George Clooney managed to completely destroy this certain aspect of history for me: forever. And what is the big deal about him? He almost always plays the same character: the very smooth, salt and pepper man who can chat up a lady within seconds but, of course, has a bad history or a bad present. Borrrriiinnnnnggggg! Thank God he didn't win any Oscars or Baftas (i think).
In conclusion:
Do not see this film unless you want to sleep.
