I can't even finish watching it

I really wonder if I have developed A.D.D. or if I always had it... I can't sit through movies anymore unless they are really captivating to me and fast paced

It was........different.

I think the major thing was just how smack you over the head the dialogue was, and the fact that it was people like Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, and whats his name (the blonde guy) saying it.

My roomate and I make fun of it saying how its King Arthur, Sky Captain, Queen Amidala, and a prostitute in some bizarre relationship. Actually, you know, they should've had all of them be in those characters and I think the movie would've been a lot more interesting. :p

I kinda liked it, but haven't watched it more than the one time (not common especially since I own the movie). My mom watched it and said she didn't like it at all the first time, but said she enjoyed it when she watched it again (yeah, my mom's weird).

Did you sit through all of the LOTR movies? Or at least the return of the king?

All the characters are unlikeable and behave immorally and randomly.

I liked Closer, but it is hardly unusual to think that it sucks. A few different choices and I would disliked it as well.

I loved it, and found it quite entertaining. I think this may be a function of the fact that I'm older than most of the members here.

I liked it pretty well, especially after I had a day or two to think about it. That said, heavily character driven movies will never be among my favorites - I like 'splosions and boobies too much.

I would suggest you try an Ozu film then...I doubt you'd get past the opening credits :p (Or Tarkovsky...anybody like them)

I just finished watching it last night. It had its good and bad points, but I went away from it feeling it was a very good story.

I may have to watch it again as Alice/Jane's intentions still seem ambiguous.
