the screenplay is terrible


The movie is visually stunning the acting is superb but the dialogs are lame uninspired and extremly and superficial what a pity. I just so the actors studio with Ed Norton, he admmited that he was the actual writer of the screeplay, but since he is not a member of the sreenwriting guilde/union he was forced to attach other screenwriters to the movie.This whole situation displays one of the main problems with films made in hollywood. Not everyone can be a screenwriter. It's a skillfull craft which should rely on artistic and visionary writing abilities. Ed is a fantastic actor, but definitly not a screenwriter he sould stick to his day job which he does wanderfully.
