Perhaps I went in a bit annoyed...

...that Pan & CoM were slighted in critical polls and award noms by what I suspected was 2006's "Crash". And maybe I was hoping for too much.
Babel is a much better movie than Crash, a film I also found pretentious and unsubtle. But after the brilliance of Amores Perros I was really hoping for something special.
OTOH, I was more than willing to give this movie a fair shot, since I'm a big fan of the Three Amigos and Inarritu's previous efforts.
Like I said above, if you don't swing hard, you never knock one out of the park. Inarritu swung hard - and IMO missed. But I like that he keeps on swinging.
The next movie I think will be key for him.
