Movieman-133

I am shocked to see so many good reviews on a movie so generic, so boring, so uninteresting. This movie doesn't feature great drama, great acting, or great character depth. Everyone here is just so princy with all their fluffy costumes and such. The plot is quite simple, Daniel Day Lewis can't be with the adulterous slut)Michelle Phfeffer or however you spell her name) because he is engaged with Winona Ryder. You would think this outline would cause people heartbreak, people to fight, people to run away in tears or something emotionally involving. No, no , no, just fancy costumes, gallerias, and everyone just acting proper and not letting their real desires and emotions come through. The ending is horrible, I mean really. I thought the performances were quite good, if only they did something worth caring about. I will never watch this overrated picture again. Watch The Basketball Diaries, The Crucible, or even

Bram Stoker's Dracula if you want to watch a drama with emotional depth were things actually happen. 4/10.

I don't why so many people hate this filmn. So what if it wasn't original, I really don't think it was trying to be. It was paying homage to the original, and since I loved the original so much, then I personally do not mind the copy cat. The movie wasn't really all that similiar. Sure the main plot was the same, but the detaials were not and the entire feel and set up to the finale was completely different. Yes I appreciated the gore and violence and I thought It only made the climax more shocking. I've watched the party scene about six times already and I still am jolted by the drama and special effects. I could sympathize with Rachel marvelously played by Emily Bergl and I basically was very pleased with the film. I mean compared to Halloween H20 or any other horror film of today I feel it is great. It has more emotion behind the horror rather than simply I'm gonna kill you or I'm just running away. The Rage has a soul. 10/10
