Quite possibly the worst movie that I have ever seen!

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2001)

My husband and I went to see Vanilla Sky tonight and we are completely outraged that we paid $25 after tickets, cokes and popcorn to see this movie.
We have watched the promos for this movie and we were very anxious to see it. It seemed as though it would be a real thriller. My feeling is that "they don't make movies like they used to". For example, my idea of a great thriller is "What Lies Beneath".
We both felt that Vanilla Sky was not at all a thriller, as it had been promoted to be. By watching the promos, we had assumed that it would be something along the lines of "Diaz fakes her death and 'messes; with Cruise's mind 'from the supposed grave . Possibly he would be sought after for her murder and he would all the while try to prove to everyone that she was not dead but had actually faked her death to get revenge."
Never has a trailer/promo misrepresented a movie so poorly!!! While driving home from the theater discussing how terrible this movie was, these are some of the words we used; "freaky", "dark", "slow", "boring", and "so confusing to follow that it was not at all entertaining".
We are sending an e-mail to our friends in hopes that they will not waste their hard earned dollars on this movie.
Often, one might judge their desire to see a movie by the actors/actresses who play the leading roles. That was certainly not true here. Diaz and Kurt Russell have been very entertaining in many films. Although I have never been a huge fan of Tom Cruise, I have thoroughly enjoyed many films in which he played. My point is, these are performers that I would consider to be in "good movies", but not this time.
