deeply disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2001)

Considering the hype, I was not surprised at how poor this flick was, but it did get respectable reviews, so off I went. The opening sequence did not bode well; altogether too high energy to build on, it left the eye with nowhere to rest and, oddly, nothing to look at. It all went downhill from there. There is a limited amount of pleasure one can get from soft pop rock put to anachronistic purposes; less from camera work that never ceases its frenetic, but ultimately repetitive action. On the second reprise of The Show Must Go On, I became afraid that it would and left.
