I did not like or enjoy; plodding, obscure and painful, 16 November 2005

Author: k_guk from United Kingdom

I'm fairly easy going. I like a lot of different films, most films I at least enjoy. I found this painful to watch, I really didn't like this film at all; mainly due to its plodding pace, obscure plot and horrible characters.

The opening credits animation is brilliant, but then it didn't get any more exciting than that. The narrative from Downey Jr was cheesy, irritating, and was intrusive to the flow of the film. I didn't find it funny.

The biggest problem was that I didn't like any of the characters in the film, the murder mystery wasn't at any times tense... and it just stumbled along for an hour or so. I thought it was then going to finish, what had come was unsatisfying - but I wanted it to finish... but it didn't.

It then went on for 1/2 hour or so more. And I will admit it got a bit more interesting (no more narrative, hooray... until the end). Oh and the scene where Downey Jr found himself auditioning for an acting role was really good.

I love murder mysteries and detective stories... but I just found this too obscure. And as I say I really didn't care what happened to any of the lead characters.

I don't remember any of the visuals being particularly great (apart from the opening animation which I liked). I don't remember enjoying any of the music, I didn't find anything particularly artistic about this movie.

I was really looking forward to this movie after what I'd heard about it, and after watching the trailers. But I was extremely disappointed; my advice is avoid it, save your money for something more entertaining.
