what was wrong with it?

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2005)

What was wrong with the movie? Sure it did have some dry spots, but I believe that it kept the audience entertained from start to finish. Sure it did not follow the novel exactly, but whose to say that the novel is even right? I thought the actors did well in portraying the characters. They all showed character transformation. From the beginning of the movie i was hooked. Also i do have to hand it to Brad Pitt because he did very well, if he was angry you could tell and if he was in sorrow you could tell. Not many actors or actresses have that talent anymore. Even though i am a fan of Orlando Bloom i do have to say that his performance in the movie was vague. I don't think he showed a lot of character. I also liked how the director got a unknown actress to play Helen because if he didn't than no one in Hollywood could ever fill out the character. What i mean is, if he had gotten some A-lister then we would have already known their past work and could have compared and so on. But with an unknown we don't really know of any other work so it would be completely new, also in a weird way refreshing, because, knowing that some big Hollywood actor or actress got the job i think would have ruined the movie.
