Thumbs down

I was really looking forward to this movie, but I was totally disappointed in it!
Without giving anything away, here are some of my complaints:
  • There was minimal character development, except for the very predictable end.
  • The story didn't really go anywhere <-- I can't explain this well without totally giving away the entire film.
  • What priest can be married with a family?!
  • Why do directors/film editors think they need to flashback to events that happened IN THE FILM, like an hour ago? I have a short attention span, but I can remember that speech you gave about 1/2 way through the movie. I knew I was supposed to remember it because you zoomed in so close to the faces it was creepy and the music stopped. (This is always a pet peeve of mine.. give your audience some credit!)

Just a few problems, I thought.
My boyfriend liked it, though. And most of the other people in the theatre liked it, so maybe I'm just picky.
