There is nothing pretty about a film that contains so many positives, which turn out to be complete wastes of time. Matt Damon, Henry Thomas, Penelope Cruz and Lucas Black are the ingredients for a great film; however, there is a problem with this recipe; it was made.
I should have listened to my inner voice when it told me not to rent "All The Pretty Horses" because it was boring and pointless. There is no reason for any movie fan to be subjected to an awful film such as "All The Pretty Horses," but I give them a lot of credit to sit through this pointless film and suffer so painfully.
"All The Pretty Horses" was a stagnant, one dimensional that went nowhere fast. I should have been aware to stay away from this film because it barely got a chance to promote itself. "All The Pretty Horses" took the cake as being the worst film of 2000. I had to ask myself how Matt Damon could go from success in films such as "Saving Private Ryan," "Good Will Hunting" and "The Rainmaker" to failures such as "The Talented Mr. Ripley." He is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood, but nobody would know from his performance in "All The Pretty Horses."
Everybody deserves to have a bad movie once in a while, "All The Pretty Horses" was this movie for Matt Damon. I am huge fan of Matt Damon, but I didn't understand why he chose to make a movie with a stilted script. With the talent of Damon, Billy Bob Thornton, Penelope Cruz and Henry Thomas; I expected "All The Pretty Horses" to be competent in the presentation of the film. I spent most of the movie wandering why it was made and the purpose of the journey Damon and Thomas were taking.
"All The Pretty Horses" has no charm and nearly put me to sleep with the uninteresting story it had and characters it introduced. I have never been a Billy Bob Thornton fan as an actor or director. His directorial effort of "All The Pretty Horses" has not changed my opinion.
I had to force myself to stay awake throughout the movie and keep watching to see if it would get better, but it didn't. I kept asking myself what the true point of this movie was since it was unclear. There is more chemistry between Damon and Thomas than there is between Damon and Cruz. It was a mistake to classify this film as a romance because there is none.
It was a bad decision to cut the running length of the film by two hours because it took away from the explanation of the whole movie. "All The Pretty Horses" takes too long to get the point across. When it finally gets to the point it is too late and 10 minutes later the film is over.
Neither the beautiful scenery nor all the pretty horses can save this film from disaster. "All The Pretty Horses" is just one entry I would put in my book of movies to stay away from under all circumstances. I nominate this film to go in the category of failures alongside "Battlefield Earth" and "The Cell."
"All The Pretty Horses" was a complete waste of my time, their talent and creativity. I know this was only going to be an isolated incident because the cast is too talented to be associated with failures.
