The Ninth Gate follows Johnny Depp as he travels around Europe trying to authenticate a rare text believed to be able to conjure up the devil. Yes, it does sound a little similar to Indiana Jones, but it doesn't play like that awesome adventure series. Instead, this piece of crap is filled with predictable subplots, hollow characters, boring action, unexplained scenes, bland cinematography, uninspired editing, unnecessary nudity, and mediocre acting. It is, in a word, bad. But in truth, as I was watching it, I was entertained. It was always pretty interesting and enjoyable. I kept waiting for an explanation, and the fact that none came only disappointed me at the end of the movie, not during! Also, there were some pretty funny parts (some unintentional). Save yourself the trouble of watching this movie because, though it may look interesting, you will get nothing out of it except exasperation.IMDb link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0142688/
