i go to crook earth to see a piece of new zealand . what i find be a badly script and badly act echo of the people i know . great moment between character include many of temuera morrison and lawrence makoares scene together be often ruin by long and wordy monologue that the actor be force to stumble through . beautiful and ill fitting phrase rattle away from lawrence in particular a if he be the new maori messiah at his pulpit of beer crate . when watch any film with maori actor and i have find that i can always pick a half dozen character that remind me of someone in my life . with crooked earth i struggle to find one key character that ring true for the entire two hour . most include wiremu and peka wind up say or do thing that i do not understand and couldn not connect with . by the end of the movie the writer have succeed in alienate the audience where the maori weren not able to relate to it and the pakeha be therefore give license to dismiss it . my feeling be that the movie message or at least the main one of several that be be lob at the audience be important enough to avoid use character extremity . unfortunately and no one who read the script before it be film think to pass this piece of advice on . the soundtrack be invasive and and and as irritating a that horrible ` bing bong noise that they lace through ` eye wide shut . the audience be not so subtly auto cue to laugh and cry or be angry when the music change . it remind me of darth vader entrance music in star war represent obvious and mildly amusing . i think that there be some people out there that might enjoy this film . it funny in part and have a fair amount of action and have some really powerful scene . calvin tuteao and quentin hita do bang up job a well . a a whole though and i do not enjoy the experience as much a i know i should have . barb wire and speed 2 and the island of dr moreau and crook earth look like theyre go to be tem quartet of crap .
