Cluttered confused and absolutely foolish waste of money.

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2007)

This film was miraculous. Never before have I felt like I have truly had 1 and a half hours of my life stolen. From the first confused minutes I felt this film had a potential which it never realised. The idea of a non-linear narrative spanning thousands of years, with allegories of spirituality and faith is very very promising. It has moments of beauty and so many beautiful ideas behind it. This film could be great.
Unfortunately, the final product is a film so flaccid and genuinely unexciting that I feel my girlfriend (who slept through it) got the better deal. There is something unique about this film in that not only does its plot and script not deliver, but the performances Jackman and Wiesz are completely and utterly uninteresting, despite their working overtime in the acting department - no matter how much Jackman weeps and smashes things up over the limp Weisz the film remains utterly uninteresting.
Ultimately the overriding pseudo-intellectual pomposity wins over the powerful premise of the film and the terminal anti-climax left me absolutely unfulfilled.
Trust me, folks, this film is not worth the money nor the time and effort - and I have found merit in The Toxic Avenger. Just don't go there.
