Not entertaining at all

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2008)

Unfortunately I'm not a professional movie critic and belong to a small group of people who come to a movie theater to enjoy the movie as a whole. I really don't care about who directed the movie, what are the names of actors, what are the special effects in the movie or how wonderful are costumes or light. I want some entertainment from the show, some story that touches me somehow. And as you can guess this one was not entertaining at all. It was plain boring. Everything was so unnatural and predictable. The original short story was probably indeed too short so it was a challenging task for writers to fill 2+ hours of the movie. Of course they connected the dots and filled the gaps but no, it didn't bring any value to the movie. Everything from this movie was seen so many times before.
Of course this is not 1 out of 10 movie - 3 out of 10 is probably a more realistic grade, but I'm sick with the rating distribution so biased toward 10 (check for yourself).
And please don't tell me about Gold Globes or Oscars. "No Country for Old Men" was also nominated but it didn't make it any better as a movie. And no, I'm not a person enjoying stupid action movies with car races and meaningless violence.
The bottom line - it's not a masterpiece but a very average ordinary movie. Not entertaining at all. Sigh.
