Leo may be a great actor, but this movie was booooriiiing. It wasn't even as scary/creepy as the previews made it out to be. And can I just pause there for a moment? Why, world, why do studios continue this move to make previews in one of these two extremes:
A) Showing all the good/funny/plot revealing parts of the movie in the preview so that actually watching the film is very disappointing
or
B)Splicing scenes from the movie together in such a way that they end up promoting an entirely different film than the one that is actually playing?
It makes trailers like this one seem almost believable...
All that to say...movie did not equal preview.
Moving on....
FINALLY I saw this movie. I liked it. Really enjoyed Geoffrey Rush's character and thought he did a fantastic job. Colin Firth also did good work. I won't say this is the best movie of the year (I think my vote would be The Fighter), but it was good and I recommend it.
I did have this thought though --- *spoiler alert* (even though I think I was the last one to actually see this so there's a very small risk of me spoiling anything) --- If I had a speech impediment and was going to do radio addresses, I would have used the playing music trick for the really important ones until I had trained enough to get over the impediment. No one listening would know and there wouldn't be weird phrasing....just sayin.
But anyway, good movie. Interesting story. Final Thought: Guy Pierce looked younger than Colin Firth
