Not what I expected

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2008)

Working trough the IMDb top 250 user picks I had to see this movie. I actually was surprised by the way it's commented. It's not that good! How can someone compare this to a godfather or a pulp fiction?!
Technical aspects are by the way awesome! It's great to see how SE improve every time. The actors are great, especially the Joker which I liked most. He is absolutely totally dedicated to this role. But again, is this comparable to other top picks? In modern times you might of course expect a good looking movie like this one.
The storyline itself is disappointing and the ever coming back moral of peoples goodness is what I've seen enough. I miss the charm of a good movie which is, according to me, unique and not a compilation of several ideas which have worked before.
Possibly this isn't the movie genre I like, but again: a movie with a ranking this high should give me a better feeling when I leave the cinema.
