after the hype

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2000)

I saw this movie again recently, three years after the hype and it was brought back to normal proportions. The special effects are still impressive, the idea is great and the story too. But Kate Winslet is ok, but not as good as she was in Heavenly Creatures. Dicaprio wasn't at his best either (watch Romeo and Juliet, Gilbert Grape or This boys life) and the biggest laugh of the movie was the dialogue, wich is rediculous in some scenes, hilarious in others. Looking back it was ok but not brilliant.
