What on earth was that!

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2006)

I just came back from the movie. HORRIBLE! Sure, it's not among the worst movies, but when you have heard and read so much about a movie, you expect it to be at least at a decent level. But this one really sucked. I don't think I've seen a movie of this standards (world-famous, high-budget, starting ticket pre-sales a week before the premiere) executed so badly and giving the impression that everybody was in a hurry to finish the shooting, that it didn't matter how bad the scene was, they wouldn't bother re-shooting it to get a better result.
It was also a pity seeing well-known actors, supposed to be of very high standards, acting so badly. It was really disappointing for me, I hope it was because of the hurry in which they were to finish shooting. I couldn't also expect a worse direction, which was unfortunately prominent throughout the whole movie.
Not having read the book, I thought the whole scenario was based in some good ideas, but in the whole it nearly made you laugh. But I guess I could attribute this as well in a very very bad direction, which made each scene seem as emerging from a cheap comedy.
P.S. Sorry for possible mistakes, not a native speaker!
