Negative Positive
Title: An embarrassment to cinema
Review: I'm sure this review will be rated as unhelpful simply because people disagree with my opinion, but I have to tell you this movie was absolutely awful.The synopsis sounds as if it would be really interesting, and I'm sure the graphic novel WAS really well done, but the movie fell waaaay short. Adding ridiculously gross violence and absurd and unnecessary pornographic sex scenes doesn't make a film "edgy" or "gritty" or "realistic," it just makes it seem almost juvenille in it's attempt to pretend to be art.When I went to see this, SEVERAL audience members got up and walked out of theatre. The saddest part is that this movie COULD have been really good. There really were some themes that might have made for a thought-provoking movie. And of course this is a great director. But this movie is a perfect example of taking a concept with great potential and doing a really really bad job.
Is the review positive or negative?
