Emotional bondage

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2010)

Is it just me or these Step-up movies with gorgeous cinematography, special effects and true escapism fail on ONE basic level? Showing love on screen without having to spell it out for the dumbest person in the room. I don't know about you but when I dream, I smell things , I hear things, I feel heat or cold not a Matrix Rehash! A for my dialogue I make sure my characters are always in on the joke and the cops work for Ashton Kutcher rather than Dr.No.
I found the love scenes between Cotillard and Leo just plain awful. To all directors, learn form the old pros in the 30s and 40s, playwrights by the thousands... DEEP EMOTION is not about what you say but rather what is left unsaid leaving the audience to COMPLETE their own sentences.
"we will always have Paris" does A lot more for me than we were offered in the last act of drivel offered here.
In all could have chopped 30 minutes of awful dialogue and left it to fester on the cutting room floor...
Still giving it an 8 for visual but it could have been a 9... On the good side, SNL and the Oscars will be able to make lots of jokes ...
