W...

So I saw W yesterday and I was a little disappointed. It was definitely worth seeing but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. To be fair though, my expectations were very high.

The acting was superb by a great majority of the cast and Josh Brolin was brilliant but the movie didn't come together particularly well. There was no notable insight to speak of and was pretty much just depressing. 

The portrayal of Condoleeza Rice was not good at all. She was basically portrayed as a stupid puppet for the administration. Rice may be a puppet, but she is in no way, stupid. 

What was done well however, was the conflict between Colin Powell and the rest of the administration in terms of the Iraq war. 

Overall the movie was definitely worth the $8 but I won't be buying the DVD.
