Unfavorable review

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2002)

Having read favorable reviews before I saw this film, I was extremely disappointed in it. Although the characterizations and acting were fairly good, I found the film as a whole boring, gory, simplistic, and far too long. I actually had trouble staying awake and would have left before the end if I had not kept hoping that something would enlighten me about what was supposed to be so great about it. My husband felt the same way except that he found it easier to stay awake than I did. Neither of us will waste money on the sequels.
