Negative Positive
Title: Pure ...
Review: I'll admit, my expectations were pretty high for this one. The book is an absolute classic, and one that still makes me laugh 25 years after I first read it. But this movie is a mess. Boring,pointless, and rarely funny,this film's chief claim to fame is a seemingling endless hallucinatory scene, which has Terry Gilliam written all over it. Johnny Depp gives another great performance, but nothing can save this train wreck.Too bad Alex Cox left. I think his sensibilities are better suited to the adaptation of this book. Even the Bill Murray comedy "Where the Buffalo Roam" is a better take on Hunter S Thompson than this movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
