Horrible waste of money and time

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2007)

Don't bother with this movie. Don't even rent it when it comes out on DVD. It is overblown, self-important, self-indulgent and a waste of time. I suffered through this movie until the end. I did leave briefly to check the theater's refund policy. I was told I could not get my money back so I stayed. I have never wanted to heckle a movie so badly in my life. Some of the dramatic scenes are so bad they are good. The scene where Orlando Bloom marries Keira Knightley is so sublimely ridiculous that it is funny. I don't believe that it was supposed to be funny though. The plot is too complicated and convoluted. What little resolution there is to the story lines feels rushed and incomplete. The last 20-30 minutes are spent apparently setting up PoC 4. (PoC= Piece of Crap)
