Title: The worst war movie ever made
Product review: Is it really the worst war movie ever made? Maybe not, but I felt like a balance had to be struck with all those who say it's the best ever. It does, however, represent the biggest waste of talent ever, from the actors to the camera work to the score. Nobody is given a chance to suceed, due to the stupifying writing and what has to be the worst editing in movie history. For God's sake, how can you spend five minutes building up to a battle (the creekbed scene near the end)and then just cut to 'after the battle'? I did hear Mallick's first cut came to around seven hours, so what can one expect with 70% of the film chopped away, apparently with a weedeater. This may be fine for photography students, but for anyone wanting a film that tells a story, look elsewhere.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
