Negative Positive
Title: Lacking insight
Review: With all the gushing reviews I've read here and eleswhere, I was expecting Control Room to be one of the best documentaries ever. As you've probably guessed, I didn't like it all that much. I found it rather blah, linear and uninspired. It wasn't awful, but it just wasn't anything I hadn't seen, read or known about the Iraqi war (and I'm a Canadian who generally stays away from television). Especially now that the war is long since concluded, it's not something I want to spend alot of time thinking about. But hey, I love documentaries and this one is highly rated, so I gave it a chance. Now I wish I could have that hour or so back.
Is the review positive or negative?
