Lady In The Water , Can it be worse ?!


I know it's a bit old but i just saw the comment i wrote on Imdb.com after seeing the movie and it brought back bad memories , probably the worst movie ever, anyways here's what i wrote :


Well, i dunno what to say but i truly regret the 110 minutes I spent watching this movie, it's simply awful. It started when one of my friends suggested watching the new thriller "Lady in the water" after watching it's trailer, on that doomed day we went to see it and was the tragedy.The people in the movie didn't seem to object or even disbelieve Cleveland (Paul Giamatti) when he told them that he found an nymph and he's helping her to get back to her world and needs to protect her from other creatures that want to kill her (Which was a wolf made of GRASS, yeah am not kidding ,Grass),the people simply agreed to help him without asking !!! Also,What's with the guy using the newspaper's crosswords to help them solving mysteries and making sure they are on the right path (it would turn out next that his son was the one supposed to do so and he was the real symbolist using a pack of cereals WOW), well i dunno if am the only one who feels this way but that's LAME people. The movie that was supposed to be a thriller turned out to be a joke,my friends were laughing in the cinema,all the people were.even one of my friends suggested that at the end of the movie the Director and the actors should come out to apologize to the audience and saying they tried their best to make it a better movie but they couldn't. My advice to anyone don't go to see this movie , you will regret it for the rest of your life .At least i did.
