Really hated the textovers


What is are all these text boxes doing in the movie? If you want to tell us something, use a voice over. It's a movie, not a blog.

And if you are going to use them, don't use white text on a black background. My eyes are not good and these were really hard to read. I tried increasing the DVD magnification, but because the boxes were stupidly placed on the edge of the screen they went off screen.

If you're going to use text titles, put them in the center and occupy that screen. This stuff was perfected for silent movies a century ago; the filmmakers should have done their homework.
