    Shutter Island

    I cannot possibly describe in words how bad this movie was. The first 2 hours were like some form of extreme torture. The last 1/2 hour was bearable and saved the movie from a 1/10 but man oh man this was bad. I couldn't have cared less about what happened to any of the main characters. The plot was nonsensical. The acting was very poor. The background scenery was obviously phony in some spots like some movie out of the 1950s or something. However, the worst thing of all though was the musical score. It just grated on my nerves. It was if the producers went to some elementary school music class and asked the students to play random notes on random instruments. Save your time, money, and sanity and avoid this clunker.

    I have to agree with you, at least in part, about the music; I also found it overbearing and grating at times, particularly when they first arrive at the facility, but after that it evened out to something less unbearable. As for the rest, well the movie was set in the 1950s so you obviously weren't paying attention were you? Background scenery was "obviously phony" was it? Of course it was you dope, it's a movie! Do you even know what that means? It means that it's a STAGED event for the purposes of being recorded on film or video tape. Obviously you haven't heard of that sort of thing before...
