"FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS"

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

My God, what a disappointment. I like the films of Terry Gilliam ("12 Monkeys," "The Fisher King") and I'm always impressed with Johnny Depp. What the hell went wrong? The only thing I really liked about the movie was the amazing performance (and drastic weight gain) of Benicio Del Toro.

Lotsa cameos, lotsa cool visuals, but I didn't get it. I never read the book by Hunter S. Thompson, and I've never done drugs, so maybe the movie just wasn't for people like me. All I know is that from where I sat, it was just a long, meandering mess.

Scale of 1-10: 2
