5/06: Bruce Almighty starts out funny during the first half.

Then, it nosedives before bursting into flames. Prior to seeing the film, I thought about what anyone would do if he was granted Godlike powers. The list would be as follows: be shamefully rich, collect many beautiful women, and annihilate people who are despised the most.

Bruce Almighty came close to my predictions but stupidly requires a conscience. At the end, it fails to teach a lesson while joining the long line of films that incorporate lots of CGI crap. Morgan Freeman shines and has good scenes. Speaking of them, the one I like the most is when Jim Carrey, all of a sudden, became truthful and melodramatic during his prayer.

All in all, the concept for Bruce Almighty isn't bad, but I wish it's more developed.
