I really hated this movie.

I think this movie is a pile of muck. I got nothing whatsoever from the movie. After about 50 minutes had passed and nothing of interest had happened I thought it was really going to pick up and how people would say "the movie started slow", so I kept going, but wow...

The only scene worth viewing in the entire movie was the bit with the mouth that would allegedly bite your hand off if you told a lie. That short scene was good.

The ending made me sick. Big whoop, they're not going to release the pictures/write about her, nothing too dramatic about that. There are long scenes with nothing at all happening in it. 3/10.

"I think this movie is a pile of muck."

I have just two words for you, then. No, not THOSE words: Poor you.

"You can't HANDLE the truth!" Jack Nicholson, "A Few Good Men."

That scene with the hand was by no means the only good one. I think this movie is a bit overrated, but it's still a very good movie, IMO. It just appears simple because, well, it is. But it's well done, in my opinion, especially for its time.

For its time? You have a lot to learn about movies and film-making.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself. I can name a ton of movies from the black & white era that are better.

Anyone who thinks Roman Holiday is a bad movie has absolutely no knowledge of cinema whatsoever.

I wouldn't say that. I would say they have no understanding of human beings.

Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical, scientific values, gentlemen.
