An Incredibly Overated Film

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2019)

This is why I have a problem with IMDB. They rated this film as the #1film of all time. Are you kidding me? It wouldn't make it into my top 50. Why? Because they are like the "Peoples Choice Awards". How about "Citizen Kane", "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Wizard of Oz", or any film Stanley Kubrick made from "The Killing" (1956) forward. They are all an order of brilliance above this film. Yes, it is entertaining and good, but I can't stand a monologue that is simply repeats what has already been shown on the screen. It is ridiculous to do that. Why? Because Morgan Freeman is simply a narrator for what you are watching on the screen, like a football play by play announcer. Very overrated. I gave it an 8 when it really deserved a 7 (at best). The people at IMDB think a comic book film is great. What are they; pre-teens?
