The best film of 2004?

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2004)

I have seem the film several times already and have to say it is simply - a classic. Will Smith for once gives a more subtle performance and the films greatly benefits (Unlike Shark Tale, Wild Wild West etc etc). The CGI is top quality and unlike the Matrix does not dominate the experience but compliments it. The film has a number of nice touches that help the movie - Will's car looks like an Audi prototype i.e. a real car and it a real feast for a petrol head (Though how a cop could afford it is hard to imagine. Also the first panoramic shot of the holographic message was very slick.
Overall due to the story, acting, CGI etc, I have to rate this a perfect 10. The best film of its type since the first Matrix film.
