Snore!!!!!

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2006)

Okay, sorry to disagree with those willing to be blinded by the flash of this movie, but I just tend to like movies that have plot...maybe that's just me. I guess everyone who said that Troy was the best movie of the year only saw one movie this year- it is not epic and not worth owning.
Okay, so this Titanic-wannabe tries way too hard to be something grand and memorable. There is not near enough plot to sustain this movie for 3 hours. I was so bored and had to make myself try to stay awake during it. When I saw it in my hometown theater, there were 2 intermissions- which probably saved my back from crippling pain. I lost my entire night to this snoozer, and I'm very bitter about it.
The movie was fantastic visually- the scenery and cinematography was nothing short of amazing. However it was lacking in storyline- something I generally appreciate. Orlando Bloom proves himself to be pretty but very lame, and Brad Pitt proves to be his usual stone faced, buff acting. I was left very unsatisfied at this "masterpiece".
I guess this is a good movie for a day when you seriously have nothing to do for quite a while, and are trying to take a nap.
