Wrapped In Decorative Ribbons but Missing

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2013)

This was an amazing film for fx but as for substance there was considerable time to be disappointed. I had high hopes for this classic film, wanting to see how modern day film-makers would bedazzle us with the latest effects and talents. Leo was his usual talented self while some of the other actors seemed miss-cast in their roles. No doubt there will be awards this winter for many catagorys pertaining to this film. After the film ended many patrons felt that after a pause for thought, several agreed that there was an average rating for this eye candy flick. I ask myself quite often...Does the film achieve success when you consider all the heavy money that went into making it? This was borderline but just under the wire in my mind.
