Black Swan Review - It Sucked!

Ok, so maybe it sucked is a little harsh... no come to think of it, it's not harsh - it SUCKED! I'll start off with what's good about it.

1) The premise was a good idea.

2) Mila Kunis did a good job.

and

3)................ hold on I'll get one more...... the, uh, the part when... Oh! the part when Natalie Portman's arms turn into wings.

Everything else sucked, I honestly don't think the movie was as good as people thought it was. The execution of the film was horrible and I hated the camera shots that Darren Aronofsky chose. Especially the over use of the hand cam. Use a dam tripod or crane every once in a while!

Also the movie was just silly to me. A lot of things that happened in the film just seemed ridiculous. Like Natalie Portman's legs bending backwards to look like swan legs. I laughed at that part and my wife couldn't stop laughing for a long time after that. I completely understand why that was done and the feathers coming out her skin. It was symbolizing Natalie Portman's mental and physical transformation into the black swan and how she is obsessed with the role. I understand it but I thought there could have been a better why of doing it and not being so literal.

Then, there was Natalie Portman's performance. I don't think she's a bad actress, but she barely acted! She had a paranoid/worried face the whole time and barely spoke more than 2 sentences for every scene. I think Darren Aronofsky is a bit over rated. He is gaining popularity and success because of the movie the Wrestler. And the only reason that movie was a success was because of Mickey Rourke's performance.

Well that's my movie rant for the month!
