"Flash of Genius" Gets Lukewarm Reviews
Go ahead, call me conservative. So what if I waited for the reviews in "Flash of Genius" to come out before shelling out $15. And $12.50 for popcorn and a drink. Looks like my fence-riding might have saved me the cash I could use instead on buying 4 gallons of gas.
Viewers who enjoyed the movie included inventors who could relate to the trials and triumphs of their trade. If anything then, real-life inventors appreciated the accurate portrayal of the challenges they face.
Those who didn't sing praises, however, included movie critics who felt the film lacked the pizzazz that today's audience demands from big-screen Hollywood.
While I may have missed the movie this weekend, if it sticks around the theaters long enough, maybe I'll catch it next weekend. Or catch it when it comes out on TV. Without the trek to the theater, that ought to save me another gallon of gas.
