Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2007)

when i started reading the numerous reviews, they were, almost, all positive...so i'm thinking, 'weeeellllllll...maybe it's 'just me'...'
then i noticed that i had the order set for best reviews first... ;-)
i stopped watching this an hour in. i just couldn't take it anymore... it wasn't boring like some wrote... but the ACTING! i almost never even THINK about the acting(except for the movie 'the dead girl'. WOW!)...to me it's a given...with all the actors to choose from, given a certain budget... but these clowns were making me laugh at 'inappropriate' times... and that's when i knew it was time to stop...
i'm sorry. but if a movie can't interest me(and there WERE interesting moments. great visuals. some fascinating references), esPEcially given the slapdash tapestry of a wide spectrum of cultural myths, after an hour... and everyone in the movie kept saying rachel weisz's character was so amazing... why? maybe i'm just too old to let my 'romance buttons' get pushed this easily...but EYE was ready to kill her just to get the movie OVER with, by the time i decided to just stop watching...
