actually really enjoyed this movie, but I would never say it was a
great movie. Does it have the potential to be a great movie? I think so,
but the end product just wasn't quite enough.
The music was
great, I think pretty much everybody agrees on that for the most part so
I'll just not even talk about it. All I can say is dat Bjork.
My
biggest issue with the movie was the times I found myself getting bored
were during the action sequences. I'm not sure if this is from watching
the extended edition or not, but in general I feel like the action
sequences were a bit much. Not that they shouldn't have been there or
that many, but I feel like the movie would have benefited more from
showing us the girls in the whorehouse reality intercut with the high
fantasy reality. Seeing them in danger when they're kicking ass and
taking names with swords and guns doesn't help me connect with them, the
scenes where they were in danger in the whorehouse reality were far
more intense to me than any of the fantasy scenes. Not that I didn't
like these scenes, I just think they could have been handled
differently. On a whole I think the movie needed better pacing and to
tie the story together just a little bit more. I get that he was
probably going for a music video kind of feel with many of the fantasy
sequences, but I think he could have had a really great movie if he took
the time to flesh things out a little more and pace it in a more
cohesive manner. It had a fine enough cast to have been able to carry it
too, imo.
Oh god, fuck yes Jena Malone throughout this entire fucking movie |
