Review of Twelve Monkeys (1995) by Royt. — 23 Apr 2008
An impressing achievement of filmmaking for Mr Gilliam, as well as very cool acting by Brad Pitt. there are some people who will find this clever "complex" and just totally a good film all around.
I am definately not one of them. I found it confusing, sadly boring - and yes - a bit too long. I ended up feeling dizzy with a headache at the end. Despite this, there are some aspects of the film I felt intrigued by, such as in the beginning with Bruce walking around in the suit, or Pitt dressed in the tux in the fancy mansion watching Bruces character run off - it was cool to with the scientist scenes talking to bruce.
as the film progresses, I felt it lacked entertainment for my taste. I am completely mixed opinioned on this movie. The Mental Hospital scenes were cool, but Mr Pitts last few scenes dragged in ultra dialogy nonsense that just gave me a headache.
Sorry Mr Gilliam, your a good director, but 12 monkeys isn't my cup of tea.
