Better than expected

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2005)

Every one I've talked to that has scene this movie either loves it or hates. it. I was pretty much indifferent. It was better than I thought it would be, but still very lacking. The story jumps too much. You just start to get a feeling for that part of Johnny Cash's life then its bam 2 years latter. Almost none of the characters were developed in the story except Johnny Cash and June Carter. At the end of the movie I didn't even remember most of the characters names. The man lived an incredibly interesting life and they decided to touch a little of every aspect, but in the end didn't really go into detail of any of it. The movie also seemed to drag a lot, which you would think would allow them to go into detail, but alas, no. The movie was by no means bad, and I'm glad that I saw it, but I don't think it is the masterpiece everyone is making it out to be.
