I don't care what critics say -- I didn't like this movie.

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2006)

I am a huge Hitch fan. And I do think that Vertigo was very artfully done and a technical masterclass BUT the plot is weird, misunderstood, complicated, creepy, and drawn out! There were some key moments that I enjoyed. But, the main plot being that a ma was obsessed with a possibly possessed woman is just weird like I said.
Like I also said, the film is a artful success (e.g. the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge shot.) It is Hitch's first color film and it looks really good in color. I also think the costuming is superb. the Los Angeles scenery is pretty cool also.
If you are in to classical films like Gone With the Wind or Casablanca this will probably please you. If you like mysteries and don't mind it being over 2 hours, you'll probably like it too.
Also, if you are expecting a regular Hitchcock film (you know a suspense piece), Vertigo will be a disappointment.
It's just okay for me.
