Grossly Disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

MONSTER, one big lesbian love story, totes Charlize Theron as a serial killing prostitute. Dark and Disturbing it was not. While Charlize Theron gave one heck of a performance, the movie completely fell short. The first half of the movie was worse then watching paint dry but luckily picked up the pace to a slow jog during the last half.
The connection and transformation Charlize made with her character (Aileen Wuornos) was outstanding! But with that aside there is nothing more to draw you into this story.
Everyone has commented on "rooting for the bad guy" in this movie and I am failing to understand why. Maybe it was the fact they did not divulge to much into her past or maybe it is just that I cant feel for a psychotic serial killing lesbian prostitute. Guess I'll never know.
Bottom line:
5/10
Only for Charlize!~
