Movie Reviews of Bloom
Movie Review: The worst movie I have ever seen
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a lover of practically all things Irish. I have a deep appreciation for the music, poetry, prose, political passion, beer, and general population of the little green island.
That being said, this was the worst movie I have ever seen....not even the genius of Stephen Rea could save this for me. I was ready to turn it off after the first 10 minutes, but I was convinced that it HAD to get better. That didn't happen, I'm afraid.
James Joyce was an amazing writer...I won't disagree with that...and for those that disagree, I recommend forgoing "Ulysses" and running far past "Finnegan's Wake", and picking up a copy of "Dubliners."
James Joyce is commonly only gushed about by those who have an inflated opinion of their own intellect...by those who find it necessary to present themselves as, perhaps, a little bit better than the general public...those who start conversations with something like, "Well, when I was studying English literature at Oxford..."
Fact: James Joyce (and this film adaptation of one of his best-known works) is not going to be to everyone's taste. If you are looking for a light foreign film, this should not be your choice. If you are looking for something to talk to your more pretentious friends about, this is the film for you.
