A collage of a big names, big budget, and big failure

Rating: 3/10 (24 August 2002)

This movie has stripped away whatever faith in the Hollywood movie that I ever had. I would have loved to sit in a screening with Steven Spielberg so he could hear my bursts of laughter at the outrageous script that he filmed. I had more enjoyment sitting on my couch at home watching the preview. How the crew dealt with going to work and pretending not to be part of an obvious mess of a movie, I will never know. Spielberg wielded his camera around beautifully as usual but I belive that his storytelling is fading. As in Artificial Intelligence he has lost all ability to focus on an ending--This movie should have been over twenty minutes earlier. The crowd was yawning and stretching as if they were watching a subtitled version.
I'm disgusted to see how many people fall to the feet of Spielberg because of his past heroics. He is a mortal like the rest of us people. He has made a mistake, partially in casting, mainly in story development. He needs a new engine, or a new pit crew, because he's lost his cool and he's going to lose the race.

IGNORE ALL OTHER COMMENTS. THIS MOVIE IS FOR CHILDREN 15 & UNDER
I welcome any comments .
