I liked it but...

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2004)

I liked it and agree w/ everyone who says that it is a beautiful film to look at and yes, it does dig its hooks into you at the beginning and yes, it's superbly executed and yes, the acting is very good but when the movie tries to pay itself back in the end, I couldn't help but feel completely uninterested. Maybe it was the fact that movie seemed way cooler than the audience and made no bones of hiding this arrogance. Maybe it was just the fact that it knew it had a secret to tell and when it finally told you - you were left saying, "that's it?!".
Maybe I'm too desensitized to all of this but honestly, if you're going to pay off, pay off big. Especially if you've kept me hanging on for that long.
