King of masterpieces does it again!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2010)

I went today to see 'Shutter Island' with so many reasons and worries that would make me hate it, cause first of all I've read the novel (one of the best novels I've ever read) and I've never seen a movie before that was better than the novel it's based on and also due to some of the bad reviews this movie has got..but I have to thank God that I was wrong!! Every element of Shutter Island was top notch...Leo does it again and shows to everyone who questions his talent how brilliant he is by his performance as Teddy Daniels. Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo and Michelle Williams all gave superb supporting performances too. Cinematography and Lights had a major role in keeping the atmosphere of the movie as mysterious and uncomfortable as possible, it made you feel what Teddy Daniels is going through..and finally, the direction. Mr. Martin Scorsese, the king of masterpieces, gives us again another masterpiece of his. It's not only that he knows how to control all of the cinematic equipment he's got the way he wants, but he also puts the viewer's mind exactly where he wants..Through his image, this plot had more depth, more passion, more subtlety and much much more tension that made this movie literally surpass it's novel by all means..I read some reviews that complained about the predictability of the movie, which I didn't feel while watching it, but even if it is a predictable movie, this won't lessen anything from it's value..you can watch it for it's great performances, character development, the mysterious and tension filled atmosphere, the well thought and written dialog and an original score that helped keeping the tension for two and a half hours. All in all, an unforgettable experience and a must see thriller, from an all star cast and the best director out there.
