all HYPE....

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2008)

First off let me just say that i went into this movie with excitement.. This may be due to what other people have posted or just all the publicity that this movie put out.. So im sitting in my seat watching the movie expecting brilliance.. well for about the first 15 minutes of the movie nothing is said AT ALL. So i think either this is gunna be bad or this is going to be very original.I could some this movie up in about one sentence but i find it is better to elaborate... anyways, im sure you already know the movie is about a greedy man and oil.. well it doesn't go a whole lot deeper than that.. The performance ddl delivers is one of a kind i will say that, but that is the best part of the movie.. it was like your sitting there the whole time waiting for something to happen and nothing ever does.. The music is very distastefull but i guess fitting in a different way.. im mean i was expecting one heck of a story and i felt like i got duped by all the HYPE. Whoever got the idea to put this story into film was completely ignorant and they must have very much liked watching grass grow.. So all in all don't listen to the HYPE because you will be sadly disappointed.. i personally wouldn't give this movie a score higher than a 5 Tops.. and i love and appreciate great movies and this just isn't one of them.... p.s this is not even in comparison to No Country For Old Mean.. Which i think was the best movie of the year perhaps the past 5.
