Candidate for Worst Movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2005)

Never thought I would see a more terrible movie than 'The Piano' but this was it. Now, I have nothing against films that backtrack - sometimes this is used in films to very good effect - but what we see in 'Memento' is just plain ridiculous. Boring scenes are repeated ad infinitum as the film constantly goes back, then forward to scenes we've seen already, and then go further back only to then run forward into those same scenes again. This is not clever, it may be different, but it's also stupid. Now, all this might even be bearable if you feel any empathy or sympathy with the main character, or anybody, or anything in this. No such luck with 'Memento'. The only positive emotion I felt in the whole thing was when the main character was running down the street and couldn't remember why. At least that was funny. The only other plus for the film - at least it was in color.
