Not too hot

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 2005)

This was one of the most overdone movies i have ever seen. It takes backseat only to the movie catwoman as the worst movie I have ever seen. In the first scene of the movie when i first heard the voice overs I thought it was kinda cool how they were really doing it like they would do a comic book. The coloring was superb but the bad acting and simply gore just tipped the scale for the worse. As much as I love Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Alba, and Bruce Willis, I was extremely disappointed. Another strike against the movie was the acting, or lack thereof, from Elijah Wood, not only is he a bad actor to begin with (When i didn't here him talk that was a plus) but his part was awful, with his overdone smiles and stupid heads on the walls of his house. The excess of nudity (which I'm not complaining about in most things, I mean who doesn't want to see a stacked rack) was just too much and it took away from anything the movie might have had. As for the violence and torture, I'm all for it if it isn't over done. Let me rephrase because overdone is an understatement. The movie took the idea of gore and violence killed it, shot it hacked it up into tiny pieces and ran over with a car, but not before letting a dog eat the entrails of the corpse which is cinema. All in all out of the thousands of movies i have seen the bottom five include this, catwoman, gigli.
