Severely over-rated.

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2008)

Now don't get me wrong. I love a gushy, tragic romance as much as the next girl. In fact, I think I love them more than the next girl. And I did enjoy this movie. I would indeed watch it again. There were several scenes that I thought were beautiful. But most of it? I thought a lot of the dialog sounded fake. The acting seemed very flat at times. And between the star-crossed lovers, supposedly young and passionate, there was not enough chemistry. Would I still recommend this film? Yes. I think it's a good movie. It made me laugh, it made me saw awe a couple times, I even teared up a tiny bit. But I really do think people ought to stop gushing about what an incredible, amazing, ground-breaking movie this is.
