I am waiting for people to get sick of it. Yes, i know the hype really bothers a lot of people. I dont know why but i seem to be imune. Maybe i was just too concerned with wanting to go to the premiere and not sure if anyone would actually go with me. It would be interesting to see what people who didnt read the book thought for sure.

I think it was just hard for me to not be a little dissapointed given the enormous amount of hype and lengthy buildup that it recieved.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243258600242815620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979252405466208842.post-18720572523130262742013-06-01T16:25:43.034+10:002013-06-01T16:25:43.034+10:00Well, I really liked it, but each to their own i g...Well, I really liked it, but each to their own i guess. I can see how to some the movie would come accross that way and for a small portion of the movie I did feel a little that way too. It certainly did grow on me though and I cannot wait to pick up the DVD and see how it fares on a smaller screen.

The actors were never able to dispell my awareness of their acting. I could not escape the sensation that they were trying too hard to deliver bravo performances and as a result, unintentionally, over acting.<br /> A great soundtrack is one, with the exception of musicals, that you aren't even aware that you are enjoying. A great soundtrack should never compete for your attention with the story, rather it should invisibly, effortlessly assist in drawing the viewer into the story. I found this soundtrack, while musically competent, too "in your face. <br /> I ordinarily enjoy Baz Luhrmanns work but I felt that his style did not work well with the story. This was a very ambitious, grand, grandeouse attempt to update a classic that ultimately collapsed beneath the weight of its own effort. Despite its almost annoyingly dogged stylistic reminders of what a large, great, lavish, big film it was I found it to be merely a decent picture. Interesting at best, not great or even very good. None of this should take away from the efforts of the costumers and set designers whose standout work may be the best in many years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243258600242815620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979252405466208842.post-52006082844145812872013-06-01T08:55:41.185+10:002013-06-01T08:55:41.185+10:00Thanks for the loveley comments!

He's rating it amongst his top favourite movies of all time, and as I think he's a very good movie critic usually, this just makes me all the more excited to see it eventually myself, too.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979252405466208842.post-36613306524133783172013-06-01T00:24:35.899+10:002013-06-01T00:24:35.899+10:00Oh my gosh!
