The Most Overrated Film of the Year

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2000)

I've read so many reactions to this movie that sing its praise. "A masterpiece" - "perfect" etc. What a crock. This movie is very far from being perfect and even further from being a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong; it's a good B movie... and nothing more. There are plot holes galore, and the movie, in a nutshell, is contrived. People think that since the ending threw such a twist, it compensates for the uneventful majority of the movie. It doesn't. The movie is original, to a certain extent, but is hardly what everyone makes it out to be. I've heard people asking unintelligently, "when was the last time I saw a movie that made me think? When was the last time I saw a movie that I discussed with my friends afterwards?" I think a better question would be, "When was the last time you saw a genuinely good movie?" The answer would most likely be one of two: a long time ago, or never.
