Here's the big issue with 'The Postman.' You can't tell what the hell the movie is about. I don't know if it's a period piece or what by looking at Kevin Costner's outfit. Plus the name is equally confusing, and it even leans towards boring. Who wants to see a movie about the guy who delivers your mail? It turns out that it's a post-apocalyptic movie. I'm sure the theaters were full of audiences half made of post-office enthusiasts, and the other half post-apocalyptic enthusiasts. None of them left happy because this movie sucks.
At nine percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this movie is a stinker. The movie had an estimated loss of one hundred and seven million dollars. If you're going to watch post-apocalyptic Kevin Costner, everyone knows that you should watch 'Waterworld.' Now THAT'S a good movie.
