by telynor  in Movies,  - Top 200, Dec 19 '03
Pros: At least Banderas and Jolie look good bouncing about in bed together.
Cons: Plenty -- let's try editing, directing, leads, and story and general trashiness of this.
Sometimes, I'll go and indulge in a costume drama just for the fun of it. And this time, it looked like Original Sin was going to deliver -- we've got two handsome, healthy bodies, period costumes, the exotic setting of Cuba in the late nineteenth ...

Pros: Steamy, hot scenes with Jolie & Banderas. Very visual film.
Cons: Plot is weak.
~=~= Passion, anyone? ~=~=
Need some more heat this summer? Feel like taking things up a few degrees? What could be more promising than seeing Angelina Jolie and Antonia Banderas get together? When meeting for the first time,...

by mattjoe - Top 100, Aug 06 '01
Pros: Angelina Jolie gets naked. Convincing story, held my interest
Cons: If it were another hour longer, directors could have tied up loose ends
I went to Original Sin for one shallow reason, I wished to see boobs on the big screen, and not just any boobs, but the breasts of Tomb Raider's own Angelina Jolie.
Call my original sin oogling or something, but not coveting my neighbors...

Pros: Good performances; nice scenery; Angelina Jolie nekkidddddd...
Cons: Not much eroticism and not a lotta thrills... No full frontal nude shots of Angie.
Based on the novel "Waltz Into Darkness" by Cornell Woolrich, Michael Cristofer’s Original Sin is a tale of love, lust, greed, betrayal, and deception. (Jerry Springer, eat your heart out!) In the beginning, we see the narrator, Julia...

Pros: I guess the sex scenes were erotic
Cons: Everything else
Every once in a while, I walk into a video store and happen to see a film that I have not heard much about but yet seems to intrigue me. Sometimes the films I actually borrow are good, but other times they are absolutely shocking! Unfortunately, the ...

by The_Wood - Top 1000, Aug 04 '01
Pros: JOLIE IS NAKED. The movie is pretty good too.
Cons: Too racy for some.
Original Sin is bound to be the underrated bomb of the summer. The film has nothing about it that will make it a blockbuster or a classic. It is however the very definition of a 'guilty pleasure.' It's so racy, dirty, and jaunty, not to...

Pros: Spectacular sets, genuinely artful sex scenes, visually pleasing actors, visually pleasing movie
Cons: Highly formulaic plot, sometimes unsatisfying plot development, inconsequential acting
I have a penchant for verbosity. My typical reviews have a habit of running into the thousands of words, which is fine sometimes, but often, I feel perhaps I am not worth listening to for that long. Thus, here I will try something new. I will be...

by Alena - Top 1000, Jun 17 '02
Pros: Very sensual, good story, excellent acting
Cons: Moves a bit slow
I get the feeling that the unrated version of the DVD was a lot better than the version that was seen at the theatre. This film was ultra sensual, with a good story line based on the novel Waltz into Darkness by Cornell Woolrich, and the acting was...

by DavidMac - Top 500, May 27 '02
Pros: Angelina Jolie, a few good scenes, steamy sex.
Cons: No real juice in the storyline, silly ending
Original Sin is a film from about last year, starring Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas, that comes billed as a steamy romantic thriller, although it didn’t exactly steam up the box office, despite the two stars. The movie isn’t all that great,...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Plays bad.
I guess Original Sin could be seen as a movie so laughable it’s good, one of those guilty pleasures. But that’s not the way it wants to be taken. Every last moment is excessively pretentious and earnest to be anything but straightforward....

by isinga - Top 1000, Dec 20 '02
Pros: This proves Angelina Jolie is naked beneath her clothes - and out of them, too!
Cons: It was a waste of skin.
I may be unduly dense, but I have been under the impression that any originality involved in nudity and ilicit sex was exhausted way back in pre-Biblical times! Since then, I've known that women had breasts from the time I was old enough to walk, and...

by thornhill , Aug 06 '01
Pros: A good look...
Cons: ...is marred by stupid effects and a terrible story.
“Original Sin”, the new film starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie, is a real throwback to the films of the 30s and 40s. Usually, I would applaud the effort, but “Original Sin” has too many problems to make the effort worthwhile.
The...

Pros: ?, Moments of Banderas' Acting, Gregory Itzin
Cons: Terrible Plot, Idiotic Characters, Mostly Bad Acting
I'm not quite sure why I sat down and watched "Original Sin," the box was labeled as a thriller that would keep me guessing. They never do. Moreover, it was listed as an "erotic thriller" and they almost never are. I mean, really; either it's a ...

Pros: Unintentionally hilarious. Angelina Jolie gets naked.
Cons: Unintentionally hilarious a bit too often.
A long-delayed picture that was supposed to come out late last Winter (note: the DVD box even states ...

Pros: Banderas and Jolie positively steam up the big screen
Cons: More twists and turns than the average country road...keeping things straight is a challenge
I knew this film would be on my review list all the way back a year ago when the first preview came out on the big screen hyping this for a winter release. Then the previews bumped the opening back to Spring.
Well, here it is, summertime, and...
