I feel your disappointment.. I had really great expectations on Spielberg's latest Jones movie, Having seen all the older Indy movies since I was a kid. (Exception to Temple of Doom, That was yet another lame movie)
Went to the movie along with my Uncle (who's a die-hard Indy fan) and we were both 'WTFH' within the first 30mins of the movie. His exact comment: "...THIS is a Spielberg movie? That guy has lost it!"
There were many scenes which directly reminded me of 'The Mummy'.. And WTF, Aliens!? I remember all the director's other movies.. Seems this movie is a Chow-Chow of all his movies.
My Rating: 5/10
Looking forward to see "The Dark Knight", Hope my expectations aren't ruined with this one too!

@ Subbu Am not a big Indy movie fan so dint go for that one.. I cant remember the last time Spielberg made a movie which dint have an alien. (and yes all his aliens have triangle faces) The guy is obsessed with it, someone needs to break it to him thats its not cool!

Sarkar raj has got mixed reviews in the blogosphere...hmm...dashavtaram has got the same one...that it sucks! :) I have done 2 reviews in my blog on Indy
PS: On a lighter note; in case somebody gifts you a DVD of the movies (after it comes out that is) do understand that he considers you to be his no.1 enemy! //
LOL too much man... you are playing Rajiv Masand from IBN ;)

oh this movie is getting bad bad bad reviews. Might be a very very very bad movie. I think atleast he saved on the money he has to spend on actors. he is acting all the roles himself. I think in his next movie he will be the hero and the heroine as well. In every kamalahasan movie he wud atleast appear in 2 roles for sure. Now 10 was.. well toooo much !.

Hi Guys,
What more u guys expecting from kamal,if he makes a movie like Mhanadhi,people just say how one could see amovie full of emotions and makes one cry.If heacts in a masala movie like dasavatharam u simply say ur expectaions were shattered.
i think he has made a movie that one can enjoy watching.U seems to be not understood anything in movie,it was 12th century and it was chidambaram not thanjavur. it was based on a concept of every event happens in our world is related to one another.

@Xylene Eeekjactly! :-D
@Swamy First of all thanks for pointing out the mistake.. but rr don't take me to be a fool just cos I made he mistake. I do understand what the director was trying to say.. he just did a very lousy job.
For a food to be good its not enough that the recipe is good... the food has to taste good as well.

Oh gawd, I'm not a Tamil movie watcher, but a rating of 2.5 will keep me out of the theater (unless of course I'm dragged inside).

hehe, the friend is still suffering from sarkar rage... meanwhile, there's apparently a scene in 'de taali', in which the last torture method used is making the victim see a dvd of 'rgv ki aag'.. last, because it succeeded :)

Oh, I thought Dasavathaaram is a great movie, and that's why I booked tickets for today! It's with great difficulty I managed to get those too! Ah, now why didn't I read this post earlier?:( Great, review, by the way!:)

"This movie is supposed to be master piece of Kamalahasan! Ya right!"
Who said so?
"Whom are they kidding. Wearing different masks and running around doing multiple roles doesn’t make one great."
The make over was not 100% perfect. But nobody wore masks. And I haven't even read anything else. Why 'attack'? And why not try to reason your sense before writing a review? no offense. Not that I have attempted a review of this film. It's just that it puts a reader off from reading further. Justify your claims. Regards. :)

@Katya Thanks for dropping by; I agree I was a bit too critical with regard to this movie but it was not without reason. To be honest I don't see any reason why this movie should be called a masterpiece! The make up wasn't good at all... the thing that applied on Kamal's face was nothing short of a mask

Balu, thanks for the polite reply :) of course i won't write if I didn't see any scope for discussion I fail to see why nobody brings up the sub-text or the subtlety of the movie despite its long chase scenes. The mockery of Bush and Indian sense of respect was stark. So was the theological discussion. I am not even talking about the 10 characters and the chaos theory which for me are only secondary. As a critical movie watcher, I liked the film despite its directorial flaws.
