Very Pretty

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2004)

I went to see this movie to see what all the fuss is about. I don't get it. OK, it looks pretty. But as a story - zzzzzzzzzzz. This one came across as a bit of a propaganda-flick promoting the idea of one "great" leader.
Every scene is SOOOOOOOOOO slow, and this is down to the simplistic nature of the story. A 5 year old would be bored by this story line. You could have told this story in 10 minutes. The whole thing is very stylized, photography, acting etc. And ooh look, people can fly (in a very silly way).
Not only was the story slow and simplistic, but it didn't seem to make an a lot of sense. The whole thing is one, gigantic, drawn out, spectacular, anti-climax. The characters behavior was either obvious or absurd.
No, it's not for me - and I honestly can't see what people find entertaining about these films.
