Topic: The Time Machine (8/10) Forum: JoBlo

Why is everybody bitching about Jeremy Irons overacting? I enjoyed his performance. As a matter of fact, that's one of the few things I liked about this film. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful looking movie, but the script needed some work. Guy Pearce's character wasn't anything like he was in the book or the previous movie. The whole thing with his girl just bored me. In the book he was just fascinated about the future and where humanity will go, but here it's just for a girl. Lets not forget about how crappy and fake the Morlocks looked. The most unconvincing creatures I've ever seen. I was worried they would break or something. I also really thought the first half of this movie was slow and dull. I remember contimplating to leave the theatre or not. By the time he actually time traveled I decided to stay. Lets just say this movie may have needed more complex characters and more intense moments. 5/10
