A Little letdown

Rating: 5/10 (25 August 2013)

I have been waiting for the DVD to come out and finally I got to watch. I did read the book but it was a while ago, so it's all fresh in a lot of ways for me. The first 30 mins I was ready to shoot the Cameraman !! A lot of UN-necessary jumping and very fast paced. I think on the big screen perhaps more of a dazzle.. But I always look for more substance and less glitter effect in a movie. I felt the movie had some powerful images, scenes, actors etc. Music , let's not go there..well let's... Honestly ,the music I had been aware of and was dreading it, and yes I hated it. It does not belong ,perhaps 1 song by Jay Z somewhere in the movie to keep someone out there happy? But I was Not. I mean Really?? Anyhow, I actually lost interest in any and all of the characters by the end of the movie, and felt I either missed something or it was worse than I had even thought it could be. Have I been too harsh?? Perhaps I will watch again another time to see if second time round is better? But I nearly never watch a movie twice, especially one as forgettable as tonight. :(
