What a load of tedious rubbish. A ridiculous film with a stupid plot that made no sense.

I had heard it was bad, but thought, given all the Oscars, it must have something going for it. Looking at what it won, I'll agree with the editing award and Jamie Lee Curtis's supporting actress award (although Shephanie Hsu was also very deserving). But best film? Definitely not. Best director? Not so much. Best actor for Michelle Yeoh (who I really like, but she's been in far better films than this)? Best supporting actor for Ke Huy Quan? No, sorry, I don't get it at all, it was just a solid performance, nothing outstanding.

All Quiet on the Western Front was, in pretty much every way, a far superior film. Plus, it made sense.

So anyway, I started watching it and was vaguely intrigued. But then it got stupid and I soon lost interest, eventually willing it to finish. Yes, some of the fight sequences were quite good, I suppose, but given that none of the characters was believable, I didn't really care about the outcome. In the end, it was like, oh no, not another fight sequence; I'm just not interested anymore.

I accept a lot of effort clearly went into the film, but it is, I fear, misplaced effort. The costumes and props were comical, but again, not in a good way, and not in a way that made the film more believable or endearing. And the bagel and the hot dogs... What were they about?! Were they supposed to be funny? Stupid is not the same as funny.
