over-rated

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2001)

When I saw this movie on the top 250 movies of all time list (it appeared as #2) I thought I was in for one of the best movies ever made. Yes, it was an interesting story, but it seemed much too unrealistic to be among the top 10. I mean sure, The Sixth Sense, one of my favorite movies, is unrealistic, but we realize that going into the movie. It doesn't play itself off as a real movie about real friendships.
The movie was worth seeing, but the way everything fell into place was really disturbing for me. That's not real life. I give the movie a 7 out of 10, in that, it was a good movie, but it certainly wasn't the best.
