Has anybody seen it?
I thought it was great - perfectly crafted storywise even if the lovely Scarlett Johnannsen acted everyone else off the screen.

What was even worse for me was that I spent the film wanting everyone's clothes, posessions, apartments, electrical gadgets for lack of any real interest in the storyline. Argh. Total lifestyle porn, made me come away from the cinema feeling dirty, ashamed and confused
It also annoyed me that WA kept trying to give the film depth and sophistication by putting operatic music on the soundtrack and name-dropping Dostoevsky, yawn. Maybe he should've concentrated on the dialogue and character development instead.
SJ was gorgeous though, as usual.
It's slow-paced with a lot of focus being on the chemistry between the characters rather than an exciting story. Some will love it, but I found it tedious. It's a shame because from the off-set it seems like a promising film.
Wimbledon is infinitely better because of the gorgeous, highly talented Paul Bettany
But they're both pretty craptacular...
