Over-hyped and disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2001)

I thought this movie was going to be great. Unfortunately, the thing I stared at for an hour and a half or so was unthrilling, boring, and filled with stupid people whose vocabulary did not go beyond the word "f**k", who spend the entire time screaming at each other, walking around aimlessly in some strange woods. Did I mention that they spent the entire time screaming VULGARITIES at each other? I don't have a problem with vulgarities; in fact, I use it a lot myself. But it really disheartens me to know that people today cannot find a more intelligent way to insult others and have to resort to swearing, simply because their vocabularly isn't wide enough.
Not only is the "Blair Witch Project" boring, it's pointless. 3 (or is it 4?) kids with a hand-held camera, walking around in some strange woods (did I mention that part?), doing nothing but yell at each other, scream at seemingly nothing, and basically annoying the life out of people who don't have time to waste of crap like this. I understand that the point of concealing the thing they were all screaming at is to let the viewer fill in their own blanks, but it got tiring after a while. Besides, the actors are so incoherent it's virtually impossible to hear what they were saying, or muttering, or whining about.
Add its over-hypeness to the whole thing, and you get one hell of a stupid movie with a storyline that sounds pretty interesting, but fails to deliver.
