I went to see this movie with great anticipation, and boy was I unpleasantly surprised. First off the cinematography was an abortion, with the screen jumping and leaping with a frenzy. The constant jumping back and forth with the four stories it was telling was totally confusing and at the end of the movie, you were not much closer to a full explanation of how these stories intertwined. The acting in the picture was pretty good, but no where near Acadamy Award quality. My suggestion to all who anticipate going to see this bomb, think about it and save yourself the price of admission. I wish some one had warned me ahead of time. Heed my advice. And by the way what does Babel mean??
