Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2000)

I must admit it. This film deserves all it's awards. The film did have great cinematography, great editing, good shot selection, and outstanding special effects. I liked Kate Winslet's performance and the art production team deserves a special award for innovation alone.
But the film sunk on screenplay and character development. Fortunately all the award organizations, mainly the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, didn't recognize the film for it's screenplay. In fact, the film didn't even receive a nomination of screenplay. But all the other eleven awards given to the film, including best picture of the year, was well deserved. I give the film a "B+" and an 8 out of 10.
