Don't believe the hype....

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 2005)

In all honesty, I was completely disappointed by this film. It was hyped up to the maximum, and I guess this is what made me decide to see it. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about, and in my opinion, it didn't deserve it. In any other circumstances, I probably would've given this film a four, at a stretch it would get a five. But this deeply disappointed, and totally failed to be what the makers claimed it would be. Tom Cruise wasn't what he was built up to be in this remake, and I would have to say that the only saving grace is the inclusion of Dakota Fanning, who is definitely going to be big in the future. I'm in no way saying that Cruise was terrible, but I guess the hype ruined everything, because you expect so much from the movie, and it just fails to deliver. I won't be recommending this film at all.
