doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2007)

well i just finished watching hostel and i gotta say wow what a disappointment. the commercials claim heart attacks and another user claimed some poor guy was retching in the theater. probably from food poisoning. bad popcorn perhaps. anyways after drudging through the first hour of topless women prancing around well the movie does actually start to get good. unfortunately by that time i was so bored i just didn't care. what they should have done was make it a 45 minute movie. 15 min for story and the last 1/2 hour. as for the gore well there wasn't all that much. not a movie for kids mind you but when they brag about people fleeing the theater well i wanna see blood and gore. not tomato soup being washed off the floors because that is about the extent of it. They should try and claim gore when there just isn't that much.
