content: If you notice the above reviews, everyone seems to have very definite opinions about this movie. They either love it or hate it. I'm a diehard Terry Gilliam fan, I'd go see him flush a toilet, then ask for my money back. Well, that's how I felt about this movie. I waited a long time before I was able to see it and expected great things from Gilliam, Depp and Del Toro and got nothing but disappointment. I'd be curious to hear (or read) Hunter S. Thompson's take on the finished version of this movie. My impressions of Mr. Thompson are very different from the portrayal by Johnny Depp. And there are too many reasons to list here. My advice: If you really like Terry Gilliam's movies, you probably have to see this film anyway--just don't come looking for me when you want your money back.
