Dreadful sophomoric trash

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2005)

If there is a worse acted movie recently I haven't seen it. Oh yes I have, it's 'Pearl Harbor'. Even Jude Law was terrible and he's a fine actor with remarkable charm. As for Cate Blanchett.. what was she doing? It was like a high school drama fest. She's not a very good actress but this was an astonishingly bad performance. I kept rewinding the first scene to make sure it really was as terrible as I thought it was. I checked out after about a half hour. Life is too short. And all the nonsense about 'Hell's Angels". That movie is dreck. Harlow is dreadful. There is some good ariel footage but that's about it.
I thought that The Age of Innocence was made by a philistine but it's The Magnificent Ambersons compared to this garbage.
Read a book. Tell a story. Learn how to direct actors. Thank you.
