For weeks I have been excited for Posiedon to hit theatres. I was picturing excellent effects making an originally good film into an even better one. I waited and waited and finally, yesterday, I was able to go see it and I was let down in the worst way. They changed the characters and the storyline. The great effects lasted all of 10 minutes, 5 minutes at the beginning and 5 minutes at the end. The drama of the characters' lives was wittled down to complete nonsense and, as my husband stated, was full of cliche.
It was terrible. I was so disappointed that I could have slumped into a severe depression. The Posiedon Adventure is a classic action film that has been turned into a too long, dull, pile of crap. Yet again, Hollywood has let me down.
I'm trying to stay strong and have hope for the future. X-Men 3, The Omen, United 93, The Da Vinci Code...surely, in the end, at least one of these will not suck...right?
