good bad movie

Rating: 7/10 (21 September 2008)

What a strange film because the first half was a masterpiece and the 2nd half was just not very good. But I still want to say I liked it... we all know that Daniel Day Lewis is amazing in it. So there is nothing more I can write about that. He is amazing. Even the way he crawls like a snake in the beginning was amazing. But the last 30minutes of the movie was almost unwatchable... and even before that I was really getting bored. My girlfriend left after a while. But I still liked it. The first half was just unlike anything I have seen before. The camera work was awesome and the character of Day Lewis was impossible not to watch. The younger kid who played the preacher was really awful and all his scenes were hard to watch due to the bad acting. But overall this film was something original and I liked it, despite half of it being bad. a good-bad movie. Strange, right?
