Well, I feel a little better knowing it's not just me that was disappointed, (After reading other comments here). This just can't be one of the greatest movies of all time. There wasn't much freshness to it. (Not like No Country or Juno) The theme of greed is just....there. Not new or enlightening. No real revelations, aha moments or really shocking or surprising moments. Despite the building and dramatic score, the anticipation......not much happens. We don't really get to understand the history of the times, nor do we get to understand the characters. I think under further scrutiny and some time, the hype will die down. Too bad, it could've been so much more.
