Wow was that Boring.

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2012)

If you want visually beautiful...go to an art museum or they could have made it a silent movie...then it surely would have won best picture. I am offended at how bad this movie is compared to the PR machines propaganda. Please don't waste your money.
For the reviewers claiming this as a brilliant movie...please tell us who is paying you to claim that! There is no child that is going understand or care what happens in this movie. One paid review wrote it is Dreamy...that is true, as in you will be dreaming as you will fall asleep.
If this wasn't blasted as a Scorsese Movie and hyped at the Oscars it would be panned for how bad it is. The cinematography was great. The acting was obtuse and the character development....well there was none. The boy goes to the house throws a stone at the girl's window...bam they are best friends. Kinglsey is vicious and uninteresting and I have enjoyed many of his movies. Maybe Scorsese could have had him kill the boy like one of his mafia movies. What a waste of time! I would rather watch a harry potter movie...heck I would rather watch Let's me the Robinson's which my kids watch. Where can I send to get my money back. This is one the least engaging movies I have evver seen. Heck ShowGirls was more engaging! Actually I thought the young girl was engaging...but wasted on a bad director!
