Long and Boring

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2005)

The movie's schizophrenia keeps it from being even entertaining. I must admit that the only reason I went to see this movie was because of the great time I had watching "Saving Private Ryan" but that quickly translated into quiet desperation as I ran out of pop corn, the movie ran out of ideas and the whole thing does not come crashing down but just slows down with a whimper. According to Ebert "this film has no firm idea of what it is about", that makes it bad, really bad. It is, in fact, so disappointing that you can hear yourself thinking "this is it?"
It is a film in the act of becoming a long and expensive screen saver image, an experiment in which a crazy and deranged crazy evil science doctor creates a big and ugly monster that after repeated shots of electricity doesn't raise to life but just stands there smelling of slightly corrupted and burning flesh.
It's a movie that definitively cost me a good amount of will to live
