Is this normal with Woody Allen's movies?

Rating: 2/10 (26 January 2006)

I would like to know, whether it is normal that Woody Allen's movies are quite boring like Match Point? So far I did not watch many of his movies, but if this one is his masterpiece, I think I don't have to watch another one. I found the plot very uninteresting, there was nothing new within it. Basically one guy gets successful by lying all his way up. And of course he gets everything that he wants. The only thing mentionable was that he did not get caught and punished at the end. What I want to know: maybe the movie was without any suspense, because Woody Allen is from New York and does not like the usual Hollywood stile? I cannot understand why people speak of this movie as Mr. Allen's masterpiece. Annie Hall was by far better than this one. To say something good, too: I think it was filmed brilliantly, especially the scene where Nola and Chris were sitting in the pub and drinking. From a certain PoV he suddenly looked much better than in the rest of the movie, and that was because at this moment she was at the point of finding him more interesting. Anyway, it was very interesting to learn more about Woody Allen, but this was definitely a very uninteresting movie.
