Okay

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2008)

I was really looking forward to this movie - I am a fond reader of FSF. The beginning started well, but It was long, and it felt long. Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett were great. Great story and filming overall. In my opinion Brad Pitt cannot act. He only has 2 speeds; goofy (Thelma & Louise, Ocean's 11, burn after reading) and quiet (Joe Black & this one). Never once did I believe that he was an actual character other than Brad Pitt EXCEPT when he was really old and had lots and lots of make up on and voice was changed. Too bad they couldn't have picked a better lead actor. It was sad and poignant and all that, but disappointed that the movie couldn't add anything to the already good story/premise. Otherwise, it was worth seeing, but I doubt I'll see it again.
