Tedious, Pretentious Drivel!

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2007)

I watch a lot of movies and buy a lot of DVD's. Very rarely have I immediately headed for my trusty computer to put a DVD I've just bought on sale on eBay after only one viewing.
I just cannot fathom how anybody can rate this film as anything other than a massively boring mess. It is certainly pretty to look and has pleasing special effects but those are it's only plus points.
I'm not stupid (really!!) but after 20 minutes had passed I had no idea what was happening - and worse I just didn't care. I dutifully sat through the whole disaster and at the end was just as puzzled. I'm not surprised it bombed at the box-office as arty directors such as Aronovsky are only interested in showing off how clever they are rather than producing an engaging, entertaining film.
All in all a complete waste of time and effort from all concerned. Just watch eBay become swamped by 2nd hand copies. I just hope than mine sells quickly!
