Best fx-worst script

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2005)

The first 45 min. are fantastic. The last hour-plus will leave you disappointed...and that's an understatement.
Great fx-best cg to date. But, fx do not a movie make.
At the end of the press screening I attended, nobody applauded. Lots of groans (above my own).
Just like Mr. & Mrs. Smith, this has a great premise. Spielberg and Cruise drop the ball.
Yes, I read the book. Heard the radio play. Blah, blah. I know it's a remake (of sorts). But even this has tons of plot holes. My "suspension of disbelief" wasn't suspended. Sorry.
As much as I really wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't.
Bottom line: if you MUST see it, rent it.
