Match Point review

Posted : 1 month, 2 weeks ago on 15 October 2008 09:04 (A review of Match Point)

I spent most part of this movie trying to discover when it would be finally over. It was boring, with a pretty uninteresting history, and I was swearing I would never rent another Scarlett movie only because Scarlett was in it.
And, then, it happened. The end. And I got so thrilled.
The movie was not completely boring anymore. If was genious. It had everything to be the movie that you HAVE to watch. Just because of the very end of it.
Scarlett wouldn't disappoint me, after all.

Dull thriller

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 24 August 2008 09:22 (A review of Match Point)

I've never been a huge fan of Woody Allen (I didn't even like Annie Hall, thought it was interminably dull.) This movie has some excitement in the last 30 minutes, when everything comes together/falls apart but the middle is rather dull. At nearly two hours long, it could have done with some editing to make it a snappier movie. The other problem is that Jonathan Rhys Myers is wooden faced for so much of it. It works in some scenes but doesn't work in most of them. I could not feel any of his passion for Scarlett Johannson's character, which made the whole premise of the movie (infidelity) a little difficult to believe. The climax, as I said earlier, is interesting and saves the movie from being a complete write-off.

What's the Deal?

What's the deal with all these movies with ALL unlikable characters. This is another one. I hated everybody in this movie and couldn't care less what happened to them. And these were a bunch of overly rich, bratty people. My favorite part of the movie was when it was over so I wouldn't have to watch it anymore.
