Huge Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2004)

Another example of how a big studio prostitutes a story to make it likable to a wide audience, miserably failing in the attempt. It aspires to be much more than what it actually is, almost to the point of being pretentious. I haven't looked forward to a film with this much anticipation since Phantom Menace. And I haven't been this disappointed with a film since Phantom Menace. Half way through, it takes a left turn and just goes right down the toilet. I spent the rest of the movie either annoyed or disgusted by the sloppy and irritating cuts and pans. If you're looking to induce at least 100 seizures by way of its ungodly excess of edits and cuts and shakey hand held camera work then this movie is for you.
