Slow, Boring, Over Dramatic


The opening scene made the film seem promising. But as soon as it's over the movie drops right down to lame. The dialogue is over dramatic and boring. Several of the sets used in this movie are really cheap and unbelievable. I kept waiting and waiting for the movie to pick up but it maintained a steady slow boring pace. I want to watch a movie with constant substance throughout. These lame drama movies filled with emotional over dramatic dialogue conveying over dramatic "blah blah blah' are just so bloody lame. One scene with a crying baby was so hard to watch because it was clear that this was a prop baby crying and pulling away from the actor reaching for it's real parent. 75% of the movie is just emotional glut with the actors moaning on over slow depressing background music. I dredged through 50 long painful minutes of this B-grade waste of time waiting for something to happen to make up for all the lameness of it, but it never happened.

i know i kept waiting for some explosions too and it never happened. I'm like, where's the story in this? there's no story without explosions.

For all the hype this movie had, I thought it was formulaic and clichéd; very dissapointing.

Sorry you feel that way, I've always loved this movie!
