Just not that great

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2006)

With the epic status that this movie was advertised with, it was a supreme disappointment. Tom Cruise did an alright job with his one character, and it's a pretty good character, but we've just seen it to much. For a Spielberg film it lacked in characterization and ending. For example, I really didn't care if Robbie died or not. Overall I think Dakota Fanning's performance was fairly decent, even if her scream got pretty ear shattering. And I wish Miranda Otto had a larger part!Hurray for LOTR! I'm also not anxious for MI 3. Hmmm, I wonder what Tom Cruise's character will be like? Anyways, the original version is fine as is, and for its time it was epic. Go check that out. I think it's well worth the rental fee.
