Terrible!

Rating: 1/10 (19 February 2008)

This is the first movie I have ever walked out of.
This is also the first time I have felt compelled to comment on a movie on over the internet.
I always see the movies that are nominated for Oscar Best Picture. This movie was such a huge disappointment! I did not care about or for ANY of the characters. No reason to be vested in the (lack of) story.
I felt like I was missing something (of course critics will say that I have...). For instance...why was Eli thrown down into the mud with such violence for no apparent reason?! The scenes were disjointed. The incidental music was far too loud making the already quiet "acting" of DDL very tough to hear and understand.
I was not emotionally connected at all to the film and left with no other reaction then...WHY was this nominated for Best Picture?!
