A Beautiful Bag of HOT AIR!

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2005)

Wow, it's in the top 250 films of all time. This is the perfect picture for 2005, all style and absolutely NO substance. None, nada, empty.
I'm not complaining about the violence (Kill Bill rules,) in fact I thought the violence was pretty muted. I'm certainly not an anti-comic-book person; Dark Knight by Mr Miller is my favourite comic book ever. This is just a pointless film.
It looks fabulous but after 30 minutes that just gets tiring. I'm not expecting Citizen Kane, just at least an attempt to inject some kind of plot to hold the whole thing together. It would have made a great short film but over two hours it is just boring, and the dialogue is just plain ridiculous. Driving this point home is Bruce Willis, he has nothing more to do than to be Bruce Willis. What more need be said? It's a pity really, I was very much looking forward to this but in the end it left me feeling robbed.
