^ wasn't bad expected something more.
I would say the same thing for
The Butler, which I watched yesterday. It was good but in an emotionally manipulative way that reminded me of Spielberg.
8/10I remember watching the JFK funeral on TV when I was 7 and then, five years later, witnessing the riots in Detroit after Martin Luther King was shot. The film just didn't convey the gravitas of those moments--though it desperately tried.
The Butler told an ugly truth about USA history but I've seen it done better in other films.
