I saw it a couple of weeks ago now and i have to say it dissapointed me.
Now before all the Academy members lynch me i have to say why i surpose....
Though Crowe was at his usual brilliant best i thought it was a bit slow, it tried a bit too hard to be a drama and thus win the hearts of the oscar voting public etc. It just seemed ordinary somehow and not a step up or anything new for that matter. Yes, it was a great story of disability overcoming etc etc but... well, it just didnt do it for me and i consider myself relatively open to a good drama.
For a 'best picture' it was somewhat wanting anyway. Certainly worthy of some Oscar nominations and perhaps wins but not the biggie.
