Saying this is the best film ever made is like claiming McDonalds to be the finest restaurants in the world

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2001)

I am very disapointed to see that this very average american hollywood film is rated as high as #2 on the top 250.
Seeing as the many dozens of reviewers has written before me I will only state why this film qualifies as one of the most overrated films of history.
The ONLY thing this movie has is the story and the cutting filmnarratology and even this does not stand out from the rest very much. Based on a mediocre book, this film is a good display of craftsmanship, not art. The way the film tells its story is not creative or new in any way, instead it follows existing hollywood tradition by the book.
