Not Beautiful. Not Inspiring. Just Crap.

Rating: 3/10 (7 December 2011)

The only reason I'm even giving this a 3 is because I thought the shots were very good. And I sat through the whole movie. It's missing the rest of it's potential stars because it is a crap movie with a crap character at the forefront. Don't tell me to read the book. Please don't try and tell me there's some deeper meaning and I'm not capable of handling it. Regardless of what this guy was like in real life, Sean Penn did a great job of glorifying a character that was pretty much just a huge douche. He was selfish, uncaring and overall stupid. The only redeemable part of this flick were the shots of some very pretty parts of the US and Canada. The only caveat is that you have to put up with Eddie Vedder singing, and some douchey character walking through these scenes. Just get a National Geographic and avoid this pile of crap movie.
