I couldn't be one of the fans of it

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2009)

I have no idea why this film is loved by many including critics all around the world, and it is seen as a masterpiece for some. The story is pretty interesting, it is a nice film, there are Jeff Bridges, John Turturro and John Goodman and even more, John Goodman is very funny as usual, in my opinion, the most funny character in the movie, Jeff Bridges is cool, but no more than that. Moreover, this is not a comedy, this is black comedy, no problem, but I just try to say that "the hype" doesn't say that. The hype is problematic also. Some critics write that it is one of the best examples of pure cinema. Sorry, but this is not a Kubrick or Tarantino film. I don't call a movie as pure art so that the camera follows the bowls which roll over! I couldn't see anything great in the movie. As known, the movie has big fans who saw the movie again and again, but never got bored! At the end, there is a speech. It ruins the movie for me a sort of. Therefore, a humorous and entertaining film, but it is not great, it is not a piece of art or it is not brilliant. One of Coen's disappointing movies unlike No Country for Old Men and Barton Fink.
