Whats with the hype?

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2008)

The first time I saw this movie, I saw it for free and let me tell you, if it was not free I would have wanted my money back. After it came out on DVD I watched it again about 3 times because everyone I know loved it and I had to find out what I missed that made this movie so good...I couldn't find it. This movie was like watching the news except for about four action sequences, all of which are in the preview. The so called plot twist when Evey was in prison was easy to figure out and not even a good twist at that. I have not read the graphic novel but I hope it was better than the film. I enjoy a lot of other films by Portman and Weaving (Leon, The Matrix etc.) and really wanted to enjoy this film. The acting was good and Hugo did a good job acting out a character that couldn't show facial expressions but other than that I cant see anything worth talking about in this movie.
