sorry to report that it fell short

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2002)

Even the greatest of filmmakers fail to cover all the angles. Minority Report was filled with imperfections in many areas that left a conscious audience with the feeling that some of the departments rushed through their work. John Williams' score was one of the most disappointing features. It was if he composed the score without knowing what the movie was about. Spielberg, usually a great storyteller seemed concerned with the film aspect, but did not properly tell his story (which was in many ways no more than the work of another writer who lacked hope in humanity). Tom Cruise's acting was fine, it fulfilled it's purpose, well casted, well acted. The choice of shots, whether the director, editor or cinematographer was well done, but the story fell to second place. That is the greatest error. The filmmakers failed their story. 6 out of 10
