Overrated and overhyped

It is a performances centric movie

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A beautiful poem about a brief dalliance in a place that is visually stunning. If only they withheld the kiss.

Let me be honest; this is my first review. This will not be an objective review. I will not even try.Like so many other reviews here on iMDb, that I've read, I first saw this movie in the cinema, and I was spellbound. The best way for me to describe my first encounter with Lost in Translation is an 'awakening'. Yes; I fell in love with Scarlet (and Tokyo), yes; I've binge watched everything with Bill Murray in it ever since, but what affected me to most, still to this day, is that I learned that movies does'nt need to be plot driven. Not even to be perfect.The music, the acting, the locations, the ambience and the pacing is just pure perfection. So, thank you Sofia Coppola. You made me fall in love with movies all over again.

Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson act their beautiful asses off like you've never seen before in Lost in Translation and Scarlett J displays her beautiful ass in pretty pink undies like you've never seen. Omg I love her and Bill and LiT. I'll keep this short and sweet like the Japanese. This movie's really funny, and really PURE-HEARTED, and really great, without saying much.(OMG I love Anna Faris)(OMsuperG I superlove Scarlett Johansson)(OMsupersweetG Bill Murray's really good in this I love Lost in Translation)Is any of this getting through?

Nice to look at and Bill Murray is good and it's populated with beautiful women but try as I might to engage with this movie I couldn't. Because nothing happens*. It's not a bad movie per se but it's certainly not worth watching. All that money. All the great cast. Couldn't someone have noticed when reading the script that nothing happens?*This bit is the spoiler.
