This movie was not as bad as I expected. It had some funny parts and an interesting message.

I’m surprised so few people (55%) thought this movie was worth watching. I really enjoyed it. Sure, it’s campy, but that’s what gives it its charm!

To me, this was worth reading for some particular personal reasons, although I had to slog through much of the book. I kind of wish I’d read a reader’s digest version :-)

Hippie1427’s comment below is valid, it probably would have been much more enjoyable to listen to on tape, since it would be easier to vaguely ignore the boring parts.

The science was garbage, but the movie wasn’t as terrible as it could have been. Or maybe I was just in a good enough mood not to mind how terrible it was.

Anyone who’s interested can find my review here.

I watched this just after having read the book and I have to say, it wasn’t a terrible interpretation. And I am usually disappointed by movie interpretation of books. I knew that Renee Zellweger would be a good casting choice for Ruby, but I thought Jude Law and Nicole Kidman wouldn’t be great for their roles. I was half wrong – Jude Law turned out fairly decent. Nicole Kidman turned out…like Nicole Kidman.

It’s like watching three or four regular episodes in a row. Enjoyable, but I was ready for it to be over. I may watch it again at some point.

Ditto to junggle’s entry below – it’s pretty much like an 80 minute episode. But a decent episode, not like the crap they’ve been showing these days.

The whole point of the movie is a “revenge” job, but there wasn’t really enough character development to make the viewer feel like the revenge was justified or appropriate. I just didn’t feel “involved.”

Many of the lines are so corny. And the acting is pretty bad. At least there were a few decent stunts.
