Dumb Movie.....Badly Made

Rating: 2/10 (6 November 2012)

There are many problems with the Beach. The story is ridiculous---and the actors give limp performances---indicating that they too did not believe in the project. The script is really bad...as banal as its possible to be. Danny Boyles direction is clunky...and he does not get good performances from his actors. Was this aimed at a teenage audience? Perhaps we will never know. Leonardo Di Capprio is totally un-convincing in the leading role. When that happens, the movie is almost certain to fail...and this one does. There is a market for movies that are SO bad..they must be watched. This doesn't quite fit into that category...but its near..!!!
