And this made over 300 Mio. US$ at the Box Office?

Rating: 5/10 (1 February 2004)

I expected more and I am disappointed. I mean there could have been more suspense elements cause sometimes it was boring and too long. They could cut at least 30 minutes. I have to admit that the special effects and the picture were great. It is not a must see and I would recommend it to teenies. I won`t see the sequel. Watch instead "The Ring" from the same director which I really enjoyed. My wife and I vote not more than 5/10. Just average. On IMDb too overrated. I still cannot believe that this made over 300 Mio. US$ at the box office. I hope Hollywood will create more precious pearls than this black pearl.
