Oatmeal for Theo

So I had a  touchy bit of a problem with Children of Men. Well maybe it was a big problem.....
I HATED ALL THE CHARACTERS.

Kee was a potty mouthed uneducated girl who clearly didn't understand anatamoy and how BABIES ARE MADE. I understand you know 18 years since a baby was born but what ever. Then Theo who I would ammount to oatmeal wwith a voice. Everything he said had little to no point in the over all story line. He just babbled about and swore a lot. Every character to was just so bland. The world is ending how about we all try to oh I don't know be INTERESTING?No, lets just go about our buisness. The premis of the movie was vagely interesting, but as you watched it I was just bored as heck. Well, yes the point. THey were all SO BORING. The individual characters just did nothing, but the story line and the cast a a whole shaped a really good movie.

That's all I've got. Sorry guys. Hate comments are welcome.... Derek.

  1. Do you think the overall message of the movie was powerful, or do you think it was undermined by the lack of strong characters?

  2. Hmmmm . . . I don't know if I agree that all the characters were plain oatmeal -- I thought Kee had a banana nut flavor, and I thought Theo at least had some brown sugar flavor by the end.

    Jasper was not oatmeal! He was at the very least oatmeal cookies!!
