Sorry to disappoint, but I just didn't like it...

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2007)

I watched David Fincher's Zodiac with my Fiancé and another couple of friends back when it was in theaters. It started out OK, but after a while, it didn't really reach a substantial point and just went on and on and on (and on). I mean, honestly, did they actually need 3 hours to tell the story of a serial killer the police didn't even catch? Come on! Another low point was that once the plot shifted toward Jake Gyllenhall's character it turned out to be another film completely.
This could've been nice somehow, but the trailer, you see, sold me a cinematic thriller, not the story of a geeky journalist on a vendetta of some sort. And what's that about his wife leaving him and saying their marriage was "a date that lasted too long" after they were married for more than a few years and even had children?!? How can you dismiss such a long relationship in a single breathe? It was just too unbelievable for me...
