Cat on a hot tin roof is a promising title and sounds like a classic .

Paul Newman an Elizabeth Taylor together in a movie is in theory very interesting .

To be fair i watched this movie without any knowledge beforehand what its all about , as i don't like spoilers and such .

But i was in for a nasty surprise as it turned out it was not my cup of tea at all .

Paul Newman playing a depressed guy is just depressing to watch .

This review could be the above sentence repeated enough times to fill the minimum amount of characters limit .

Elizabeth Taylor is absolutely gorgeous and a pleasure to watch , but this works only for so long and the content of this movie just drags the pleasure down to a point its not a pleasant watch anymore .

To me it feels like a wasted chance to have these actors in a movie like this .

All i could think was like i wish they were in some Alfred Hitchcock like thriller , not this depressing drama .

This movie from 1963 , it is no shame , but its kinda caught up by time , like the cigarette smoking in this movie to be cool .

The premise , idea of the story , it could bring something , but the reality is this movie moves very slow , and has lack of everything.

There is no real tension , or action , or humor .

Its maybe " psychological movie " and i think somewhat vague at moments.

It offers a look back in time and that can be nice , some nostalgia, but thats it .

There is really not much there to watch this movie a second time years later .

Magnet of Doom , the title is surely cool , but its a bit much for this movie and would be more fitting for a new superhero movie .
