About one year ago, there was a movie that was released, with big name celebrities, a famous director, and moderately good critical acclaim. I saw that movie, and it was forever placed into my bottom five of "Worst Movies Ever."
That movie was "Babel," and now, in November 2007, I'm feeling a bit of deja vu.
Before the writing of this review, I have looked at various other reviews from such sources as the NY Times, and Ebert and Roeper, and it has become apparent that the only way that they could have given these reviews is that they saw a different movie. They keep talking about all these deeper messages that they were gathering from the movie, and to be frank, none of that was clear in the movie.
Not to be arrogant, but I'm not a stupid person. Some sort of deeper message in the movie couldn't just fly above my head like that. What I saw, was two and a half hours of boredom, boredom, naked black chicks, a bit more boredom, boredom, a cameo by "Young Frankenstein" star Roger Bart, a moderately interesting shooting scene, boredom, and finally, a bad ending.
You can bash me all you want, movie lovers, but I am telling you all;
American Gangster is the 3rd worst movie EVER!!
Right above Babel, and Mr. Woodcock.
