It wasn't that bad...

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2001)

Before I went to see this movie, I had this in mind: "OK, almost everyone I know isn't going to see this because critics say it apparently bombed, so it must be really bad." I was even a little too analytical, but halfway through I decided I quite liked it.
Sure, PH was predictable, a smidgen unrealistic and painfully clichéd. Some of the lines bordered on nerve-grating. I usually turn on the waterworks at movies like these but I didn't shed a tear. OK, so the last scene made me cry, but that wasn't exactly romance-related. I guess I didn't feel there was enough character development to cry for the leads. The music wasn't even that moving.
However, the attack scene was spectacular although it would have been better if it was a tad shorter (bathroom break needed!). Still, I liked the movie and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm partial to tragic love stories.

I wouldn't pay to watch it again but I'm not sorry that I did before.
