Hollywood, for shame
You did it. You finally did it. You made a movie even I can't stand. And what's worse, you did it with a decent cast too. You took Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson, and used them to just piss me off. ME! I am the most easygoing movie person I know. I have seen MST3K movies and walked away saying "Well it wasn't THAT bad.". I saw Kingdom of Heaven and liked it. I can ignore a fairly high content of sex and violence, I ignore product placement (ie I Robot), I ignore mild attacks on the Church (I don't like em, I just ignore them and watch the movie). Language? Give me a reason for it and I'll tolerate anything. Weak plot? Gimme special effects/great acting/lots of violence, I'll get by. You wanna have your romantic leads get it on? Fine. I don't like it, but it's your movie, so long as you USE that scene for a reason. ANY reason! I don't care if it's just so someone can blurt something out in the height of passion, or to show how much they love each other (cause sex equals love, right? Don't answer that). Like I said, I'll tolerate a lot. But not this.
You gave me teasing trailers, hinting at Bourne Identity-esque hidden talents for combat in a normal joe. You flirted with the idea of men in black suits, goverment conspiracy, a small town and a small town family fighting against big bad groups of people. You gave me none of that. I searched and searched for something good, something entertaining, and all I got was realistic gore. Hurrah for you. You threw sex in my face for no reason other then to waste time and arouse the audience. The violence was pointless, unentertaining, and boring. The plot, was...well actually it wasn't, and that was the problem. The characters were shallow and had no direction, and they didn't even start to develop. You strung me along for almost 2 hours while I waited for first a masterpiece, then a good film, and then just something worth my 9 bucks. You gave me nothing but the credits.
You did it. You actually made me walk out of the theater mad, mocking the movie I just saw. I would have asked for my money back, but in my entire life, I have never had cause to. Tonight I did.
History of Violence is the worst film I have ever seen. Don't watch it.
