good homage, but not worth that fame

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2012)

It says it all.
It's a good mix between music, good acting and filming. Is it worth to watch? yes. Is it worth to be nominated to that many academy awards? no
It's just a movie that professionals will enjoy because of many winks to classic American movies. And maybe remind them how it got made at its beginning. Maybe they will remember Errol Flynn or Clark Gable's moustache
To the others, even the trailer tells the whole story so no big explosion at the end nor Chuck Norris saving the world on a spaceshift. There s no big robot coming back from the future . In France, a very popular chocolate brand had a motto "quelques grammes de finesse dans un monde de brutes" " a few grams of finess in a brutal world" I truly believe that is what they achieved
I enjoyed this movie but I take it as an essay and not a masterpiece
