Not fully rewarding my expectations

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2012)

The Oscar nominations are out. "The Artist" is a nominee for Best Film besides 7 other movies. When I watched the trailer I got really intrigued and decided to see it as soon as possible.
Although, I expected it too be a mega-hit movie from the start, it didn't quite satisfy my so called hypothesis before watching the movie. I must say, it was a pleasant change to see a black and white, silent movie and the music was superb. But the plot was one of the most common and I feel as if I have seen something similar before. Maybe it's just looking from my point of view but I expected some tragedy, unexpected events, mystery. Something I didn't expect to see when I watched "Black Swan" last year.
Nevertheless, the actors were great. Especially, I liked the leading actress because I believe she has a so called actors face - with a lot of appealing facial expressions.
Taking the fact that this movie is nominee of 10 Oscars I believe that the big guys really love it. And even if I don't admire it so much, I would still recommend you to see it, just for comparing of opinions. And the end seen was terrific!
