That's an excellent review. There's no reason for it to be rejected (unless it's a duplicate, in which case the rejection should state that). |

I thought it minor. Did when I saw the trailer, did when I saw the poster. And try as I might have to save the biggest spoiler for my actual viewing, it wasn't to be: there was just too much conversation in the culture.
[I remember many years ago, we strove to see THE CRYING GAME in a theater b/c we knew we couldn't survive the pop-talk much more: we knew there was a deep dark secret but we didn't know what it was! Likewise, if there is anyone out there who still doesn't know the secrets of PSYCHO, then God bless you, and see it quickly!]
In contrast, this reveal was a very inconsequential part of a very dumb film, but what dragged me down was the degradation that took up the first :30 or so. "With great power comes great responsibility." That's not a comic premise, as Alan Moore's visceral MIRACLEMAN [in its original UK incarnation, I believe it was MARVELMAN] so clearly showed decades before. If you can fuck up a train, you owe fucking reparations to the train company! For me, the filmmakers didn't manage to pull this problem out of the quagmire long enough for me to laugh at it, so there it goes down the drain, and a non-charming Will Smith didn't help at all.
WARNING!!!!! SPOILER ALERT FOR DUMMIES!!!!! DON'T READ ANY FARTHER IF YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THIS FILM ENDS!!!!!
Then his psyche gets fixed and everything's all right. But I'm still not laughing. |

I didn't know it at all till about a year ago, but since then I have seen two or three clues here and I think I know what it is, unfortunately. |

I'll send you over the five pounds so you can rent it out and enjoy the trials and tribulations of Marion Crane and her wonderfully 1950's pointy boobs. |
