This one really sucks...

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2006)

I have never given a movie such a low rating in my life but I had to. I am very disappointed in this project for a number of reasons....
First, being a Ron Howard fan, I have to say that this is his first flop.
Second, I read the book and was expecting the same excitement from the movie and it let me down every time.
Just when you think things are going to get rolling the script seems to throw in this overpowering relentless dialog that just slows down everything and flattens any emotional power that might have been created by a preceding event.
The movie fails to create tension over and over again. The acting is fine. The special effects and editing are even great -but the script sucks. I don't blame Ron, I blame Mr. Goldsman. I don't think Goldsman gave Ron much to work with viewing this catastrophe!
