review

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2003)

Most people seem to either really like this movie or really quite hate it. I have to say there are aspects of both these views in my overall opinion. I think that the music fits in very well with the general mood of the film. I was very sceptical about Leonardo di'caprio after the titanic but found his role in this intriging. I agree that perhaps he was not the best choice but still he gave an acceptable performance. The main thing that let this movie down for me was how bad the screenplay was in comparison to the book. a
I am glad that i watched The Beach although i would not be inclined to watch it again.
