An average movie

Maybe, at some point, I should give this movie a 2^nd chance. Indeed, even though I didn’t really hate it, I still didn’t like at all and I’m pretty sure it must be the least deserving winner of the Best Picture Academy Award of all time. Seriously, from all the movies nominated (including also ‘Gangs of New York’, ‘The Hours’, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’ and ‘The Pianist’), it was seriously the weakest one of the bunch. Indeed, even though it was obviously supposed to be some kind of song and dance extravaganza, it was more obnoxious than actually entertaining and I thought it was just so boring. Of course, I have to confess, I have never been a huge fan of musicals in general but when I did watch some classics in this genre (‘The Sound of Music’, ‘Singin’ in the Rain’, ‘West Side Story’, ‘Les Miserables’,…), I was always able to see why they were so popular, even if I didn’t really care much for them but, in this case, I just really didn’t get it at all. At least, Catherine Zeta-Jones really looked gorgeous back in those days. To conclude, apparently, the musical fans really loved it, but I really didn’t care at all for the damned thing and I don’t think it is really worth, except if you really love the genre.
