My First Review

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2007)

After reading the negative reviews of this movie, I was compelled to write my first review. There are some very passionate people writing reviews on this website. It's surprising how extreme some of the reviews run from love to utter hate. I guess according to the negative reviewers, I'm stupid because I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. It probably doesn't really deserve a 10 out of 10 because I know there are many excellent movies, but I was totally disgusted with the people who gave it a 1. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a 1? Obviously these people have no imagination. What's interesting is that if you look at these people's other reviews, they are mostly all negative. I'm surprised that some of these reviews were accepted, because they were out right nasty. Not only is the movie harshly criticized, but also anyone who likes it is called an idiot. There are plenty of movies that I've hated, but I don't see the point of bashing them and anyone who likes them.
I have a very broad interest in movies, but I think a lot of the new movies are real stinkers. The Illusionist is one of the exceptions. I'm not going into any details concerning this movie because I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a spoiler. I just think that the acting, photography and music were all excellent. Don't listen to the bashers. This movie is definitely worth a viewing. Hopefully I haven't made any serious grammatical or spelling errors. I get very annoyed with people who don't take the time to proof read what they write.
