superb!

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2005)

I never went to see 'The Beach' or even bothered to rent it. The first time i saw it it was on television and i expected it to be just 'ok'. However 'The Beach' proved to be an intensely exciting film and was completely different from what i had expected and had been led to believe. The second time i saw it i found it even better than before. Many other reviews say that it was an insult to the original novel which i haven't read, so i wouldn't be able to judge that. People have said that the film is dumbed down and even a movie aimed at teenagers, i disagree with this, just because it doesn't seem to be a 'deep' movie and hasn't been marketed in this way doesn't mean that it is for morons, it has a lot of meanings and if you can't see them then it is a problem with you, not the movie. The acting is brilliant and the soundtrack is equally good. I don't understand how some people hate this film but enjoy other films like 'Meet the Fockers' which i think is 100% trash! This film is perhaps one of the most enjoyable movies i have ever seen, and anyone who hasn't seen it should do.
Thankyou for reading. Otatom has left the building.
