the most overrated movie in the history of www.imdb.com

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2004)

The fact that Seabiscuit was nominated best movie is a scandal. The fact that some many imdb voters give it a 10 is incomprehensible. This movie is at least 45 minutes too long, extremely slow paced, contains too many cliches to count and failed completely to capture my interest.

Some of my major complaints:
The build-up is incredibly slow and underestimates the viewer's intelligence.
There are countless scenes that should have been edited away. What on earth is the scene with race cars leaving the barn doing in the movie?
The voice-over is silly.
The characters and their internal relationships are underdeveloped.
The race scenes lack a good overview. Further, every race scene is so similar to the other races they could have edited the race scenes in random order.
The fact that the jockeys have a nice chat (without even having to scream at each other) in the middle of the race is ridiculous.
If you want to see a movie about the depression, watch "Of mice and men". If you want to see a sports movie, watch any other sports movie.
My rating: 4/10
