So mediocre...

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2005)

To be honest, I'm very disappointed..
I mean, the film is well made, when it comes to the special effects, everything looks overwhelming. The acting is brilliant, I think Tom Cruise is better than the last many years. Dakota Fanning is definitely going places, she has a huge talent - although I several times got the urge to strangle her because of all the mindless screaming...but then again, given the situation, how would one self react?
What disturbs me are the GIANT plot holes....without wanting to spoil anything, I can say that they are embarrassingly obvious.....you definitely don't even need to be a movie-buff to spot them, even my girlfriend who usually swallows all sorts of film excitement raw shook her head in awe....
Spielberg, what were you thinking?
This is a solid 5/10, the plot holes drags it down from what could have been 8 or 9, if Spielberg would have had any respect left for his audience...
