was anyone expecting more?


I expecting that this movie was going to be really good and I couldn't wait to see it. However, it was more like an empty feeling movie. For me, it was really hard to follow and it was just kind of all over the place. I liked the simplicity of the movie itself but it was kind of weird and some things were just random. Daniel Radcliffe was good, but I was expecting A LOT more coming from him but he didn't do bad. I actually liked a lot of his shirts that he wore in the movie. This movie was just...weird and out of place. It was sad towards the end but other than that it didn't really do anything for me nor give me any new thoughts.

Yes. There wasn't much to it really. The closing scenes should have been powerful and emotional but as I didn't really care about any of the characters, they left me cold. All they did was muck about on a beach, after all. It wasn't exactly Stand By Me.
So overall, disappointing. Even Daniel Radcliffe's shirts couldn't redeem it for me.
