Title: How to make a boring gangster movie...
Review: Not unlike many other movie fans who enjoyed American Beauty, I awaited the arrival of this film to theaters with great anticipation. For the hype it was getting (including comparisons to The Godfather!) I was expecting a fast moving, thought provoking gangster epic. Instead, I was subjected to the equivalent of a shot of nyquil. It put me to sleep and never tasted right. There were too many moments that should have been seen in this movie that were left to the imagination (anybody getting gunned down must dance with bullet impact, not be heard only!) Film is a visual medium for crying out loud! To the producers, director, actors, and hell even the authors of the graphic novel: it is not the audience's job to make your film interesting or even enjoyable. For the price of tickets is high, and there are other films to choose from.P.S. The Crow was a fluke, unless you're going to animate the feature. Leave the comics, err, graphic novels alone.
Is the review positive or negative?
