Well, I liked it anyway. You lot are a bunch of elitests/miserable buggers/cynics/cranks..........feel free to choose one

You're not having a whiney, Rose-like tanty are you James?

I'm glad you liked it. There are things about it I like too, but mostly those are eclipsed by the surperflous, contrived love story and I guess I'm only passionate in my dislike of that because I was disappointed that a true story, that fascinates me, could be handled in such a cavalier manner.

It's all good. We can't all like the same things hey?

I'm with the folks who love this movie. You really have to be one miserable person to not get swept up in this movie..And what's with the Leo bashing? He's in some great fucking flicks!!

--This Boy's Life

--The Beach (Yes, I liked this one too)

Now! Now! Play nice people!

I'm not a miserable person but I wasn't swept up by this film. It annoyed me mostly.

And as for Leo, I don't dislike Leo, if you go back through my posts I've explained why I don't find him romantic lead material, but I think he's a good actor. Actually I have seen examples of brilliant acting from him, but I'll never be able to see him comfortably playing the romantic lead.
