I don't see what's the big deal

Rating: 1/10 (7 March 2002)

I still don't understand why it won the BAFTA award, when movies like Amelie or Shrek where much better, and I hope it won't win the Oscar, the worst thing is that it's gonna be the same the next 2 years. If it's in the #2 of the best movies ever is not cuz it's good, but cuz of all the fans that voted for it. 3 hours is a lot, and that makes the movie boring, and the end doesn't help at all, I think that the problem began when they decided to adapt a book that has nothing spectacular, García Márquez, Shakespeare, Goethe, Camus, they are good writers, not Tolkien. In fact, if you are very boring you can watch it, but it's nothing but another "gringada", a Hollywood movie that gringos love to do with the only goal of making money, if you want a good movie watch "Todo sobre mi madre", "Amelie", "Amores perros", "La vita e bella", "American beauty" not this thing.
