Did New Line secretly pay for all of these positive reviews?

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2001)

I saw this movie at the midnight screening on it's first day of release with 2 other friends. After reading the unbelievable positive reviews on IMDB, we decided to go. Needless to say, we were very dissapointed. The movie plays just like a novel...which is to say it is much too long, drawn out and complicated to be a movie. There were way too many characters, languages, etc. Towards the middle of the movie, I just started waiting for it to end. Also the entire movie looks like it was done in a computer. All of the reviews are so good on IMDB, they have to be some kind of plant by the movie company....see the movie and decide for yourself....
