So some say this is a masterpiece...

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2006)

Normally, I don't appreciate commenting on other users' comments (it has the smack of arrogance), but in this case I frankly must say that if you consider this one of Woody Allen's masterpieces then you haven't seen many of his movies so far.
I agree that "Match Point" is better than "Melinda and Melinda" (though that wouldn't be much of a compliment on its own), and I wouldn't even complain too much about the all too obvious flaws: its clumsy dialogue and threadbare characters, the horrible (yes: horrible!) use of soundtrack music (scratchy opera tunes which reveal absolutely no connection with the on-screen action whatsoever, nor do they comment on it in an especially subtle manner - you get the impression that Mr. Allen just wanted to show us what an exquisite connoisseur he thinks he is), the cliché settings or the length of the movie (at least 30 minutes too long).
What I really DO complain about is that Woody Allen has made far, far superior films in the past dealing with related topics. Just watch "Crimes and Misdemeanors", for instance, and you'll instantly know what I mean.
