Why make such a big deal?

Rating: 2/10 (16 July 2009)

OK, first of all, I think Kathy Big is a talented director but who in my point of view just wastes my time with Hurt Locker. I loved her early works, Point Break and Strange Days. But what I don't understand is why do most of the people think this is such a good picture?
For this movie was plain boring. Nothing happens throughout the whole film and the only maybe breathtaking scene in that film doesn't take place longer than one minute. I want to educate people to learn that movies are not just a bunch of images cut together, it is about telling a story. But nowadays it seems to be in, telling stories with no PATHOS. In other words: message or meaning.
The direction and the editing are more than obvious and very predictable. Direted like many other war movies that have been made and better than this one. There is nothing new in this film, therefor, fellow readers. A good director is also a director who changes the way of telling a story.
Thanks for your time.
