I caved to all the hype and went to see "Gone Girl." Frankly, I was disappointed. David Fincher is a good director, but I find his movies full of obscurity and confusion. Also, since I don't really like Ben Affleck, I had to steel myself before watching him again (I found Argo awful). But it wasn't enough, because Affleck is in every single scene, and the camera gets up close and personal with him. I found myself scrunching back in my seat to try to put a little more air space between me and him.
There were a lot of good things about the movie. I especially liked the performance of Carrie Coon as Affleck's twin sister. Tyler Perry as his attorney was good too, as well as the detective played by Kim Dickens. And Neil Patrick Harris was very convincing.
Appreciate your thoughts on the movie.
