Didn't read book, didn't like movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2002)

Well, I guess I suck.
My two friends are really into that sort of stuff. Fantasy type things and know the stories and all. My friend said, "the best long movie I ever saw." And everyone is just ranting and raving about it.
But, I was kind of bored. I guess it's just because I'm not into that sort of stuff. From what I hear, the material was used faithfully. And there was beautiful scenery and striking images, but for me... It wasn't one of my "must sees".
What puzzles me the most is how this movie is rated #1 movie of all time on this site. Granted it's new and people are still buzzing over it. I'm sure most of the 10s were from hardcore fans. But, better than the Godfather? Or a Stanley Kubrick or Martin Scorcese film?
Movie of the year goes to The Royal Tenenbaums. With Amelie behind it.

Good visuals aren't everything.
