A BORING WASTE OF MY TIME

Rating: 3/10 (13 April 2004)

I don't know...for some reason I just didn't like this movie. A bunch of my friends had said thati it was really good and messed with your head and everything and came out at a time when I really respected M. Night Shayamalan (he said this was probably one of his favorite films). So I got the DVD and I watched it and was just bored to death. Sure, the acting was okay and the story was good, but the direction just went nowhere and the minutes seemed to drag on.
And then there was one thing that really brought it down for me. The "I don't remember anything before the night my wife died." If he doesn't remember anything before his wife died, how does he remember that he has a condition. Something that Quentin Tarantino pointed out.
This movie just never ticked me with. I found it too slow and too drawn out, like Christopher Nolan was wanting you the get it instead of messing with your head (like the repetitive scenes where Lenny meets the girl and Teddy keeps saying hello). But that's just my opinion and I think you should just judge this movie for yourself like you should judge anything.
