Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2006)

I saw this movie a couple of nights ago at a screening in Beverly Hills and I must say I was extremely let down. Like many other films I of course saw this score on this board so I had very high expectations that just weren't met.
I had seen the previews for this film and I must say the concept to me seemed very intriguing but the previews are very misleading. I was expecting to see a film about eternal life and love but instead I saw a film that seemed to be extremely disjointed and confused about what it wanted to do. Now I must say that I have to disagree with some reviewers in that I felt Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz did great jobs with what they were given but they can't be expected to perform miracles. Both of these actors and the director were at the screening I was at and it is very telling when Hugh Jackman says that he was never really sure what the movie was about even while making it. Long story short, if you really want to see this wait for the DVD.
