Rather Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2006)

For all the hullabaloo, this picture really didn't deliver. Pitt and Jolie, both excellent actors, played generally unlikable characters. Where there was noticeable physical chemistry between the two leads, the rest of the movie seemed forced. There was no real build up to any sort of romance between them that might have explained why they got married in the first place, you see them meet, have a single date, then get married, then their transition from wedded partners to vicious adversaries was instantaneous and with no gravity.
All in all, it was a sort of enjoyable big bang shoot em up popcorn movie with no plot. OK but not great.
