25th hr was mind-numbingly boring. i don't understand the purpose of any of the characters besides norton. they were worthless. and it's not like i can't appreciate a movies like 25th hr. it's just that this movie almost managed to put me to sleep 5-6 times.

I don't think that I really have a reason for not liking him.

I have been thinking for a bit why i didnt really like 25th hour and this is why. The movie was plotless. Nothing happened. Of course, I'm pretty sure the movie was supposed to just be about a person's last day as a free man and the contemplation and whatnot that comes with it blah blah blah. But in the end, i recall telling myself how bored I was... I think it would have worked better as a play. I hated all the 9/11 references they didn't have anything to do with Ed norton's story. In fact, the secondary characters had separate story lines that were pointless and did not serve any real purpose to the main one. The performances were really good, but once again, they didnt do anything. Also the main reason why I don't like it is because Ed Norton's character doesn't change. He has no arc so to speak, this is also why i think the movie is plotless. He is the same person at the end of the movie as he was at the beginning. At least that is the impression i got.

This is my opinion, of course, and it could be very very wrong i admit. Not to mention, my taste in movies can be very skewed. There is also the fact that each movie affects each person differently and also, i haven't seen the film in awhile but this is my story and im sticking to it.

i never really liked nicholas cage.... but i do agree, face off was great ;-) and city of angels!!! well, now that i think about him, i should mention gone in 60 seconds was good too. hm, does this mean i should change my opinion about him???? nah~ he still sucks! :-P

nick cage sucks. Although one of my fave movies is Face Off.
