i don't believe it sucked or was awful but it wasn't nearly as deep made it out to be. i think because it had multiple plots of seemingly unrelated characters taking place it supposedly became complex. some of the acting was overdone, it's like everyone was the superlative of their particular character, they couldn't just be damn regular, too over the top. don't get me wrong, it was entertaining, but it was hardly a movie that made me scratch my head and think. he put a lot of people together and made a lot of things take place. so it was busy enough, but i think it became viewed a classic moreso because of the influence it had on things after it, not because it was so profound on its own.
