Negative Positive
Title: The editorial reviewer has proven himself to be an idiot. Period.
Review: It is utterly unclear to me, what has the editorial found "ridiculous" about this movie. Yes, the Depardieu's accent is obvious, but I've never had any difficulty understanding his lines. Besides, let's not forget the fact that Columbus wasn't an english as well. The music is simply magnificent. It alone brings at east 3+ stars to the rating. The plot is very dynamic and action-packed. Within two and a half hours we see not one, but two journeys to the West and back. Moreover, due to such limited time, the film shorts some of the developments which could otherwise make it a much deeper, dramatic and touching movie. For that reason I gave it 4 stars. on the other hand, Mr. Marshall Fine, the editorial reviewer, clearly makes an example of ill attitude and politics taking over common sense and objectiveness - the very principles of fair criticism. I'd wonder if he ever passed a highschool.
Is the review positive or negative?
