I Wish I Cared More

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2006)

Let me first confess that I never read the book. My friends all did, and they regretted it. They hated the movie more than I did, because I had NO expectations on its quality, whereas they had a concrete vision of how it should have been. However, expectations or not, I was pretty disappointed. After all this controversy it's been getting over the "big Christian scandal that's lasted centuries," I have to say I was let down. As an avid Christian, I thought this would at least peak my interest a little bit. Insult me, intrigue me, whatever. SOMETHING, please. But the presentation, the bland line delivery, and the groggy pace really hurt the film. As the credits rolled at the end, I walked out thinking that I could never have seen this movie, and my life would be the exact same. That is not the feeling one should get after seeing a movie with as much controversial hype as this. I've pretty much already forgotten almost everything that happened in the movie, and I have a pretty good memory.
