Good but could have been great

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2008)

I like many of you had tremendous high hopes going into this film, and now after seeing it can honestly say it was good, but not great. Pitt, Blanchett and many others give excellent performances in the film, the film is beautifully shot however it never gets you to shed that all important tear. I stilled loved the film, and I think it's a front runner for best pic, but I can't help but wonder what could have been with a few minor tweaks. My take away is that life is composed of many subtle things that ultimately shape how we end up, and this movie delivers that. The theatre was packed, go out and see this with someone you care about it will definitely give you something to discuss.
