drivel

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2006)

This movie is why I rarely go to the theater anymore. This is an insult to my intelligence.
Steven Spielberg, how dare you present such a saccharine-coated load of guano? How could you do this? There is nothing here but Tom's excellent adventure. Nothing, nothing nothing! The only thing I question is, are you really that tasteless, or do you just believe your own BS to this extent? Where is the story here? What is up with that ending? Why did you need that Morgan Freeman voice-over at the end? This is awful cinema. I recently excoriated Armaggedon, and now, compared to this, that looked like a John Ford film! I mean, Steve Buscehmi singing "On a Jet Plane" was a better film moment than most of this terrible terrible movie.
The fact that so many people rated this highly frightens me.
