Overrated to say the least

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2008)

I've learned to really not care about the IMDb ratings.But i have never been so shot down by a film with such a high rating.I decided to see this film because of all the hype.I admit i'm not a Cohen fan.I stopped enjoying their films from Fargo and on.But NCFOM is a perfect example of a bad movie. Hidden under a pseudo-philosophical veneer is a movie with practically nothing to offer.No serious plot,no serious characters (Tommy Lee Jones did his best but what more could he have done with this material?) and certainly nothing exciting about the way it was filmed.Just because some of the greatest filmmakers filmed their movies with a slow pace (i heard a lot about comparing Kubrick with the Cohens....are you guys serious?)it doesn't mean that if you film with a slow pace you'll make a good movie. All in all NCFOM became one more example of why the Oscars mean absolutely nothing.
