Wes is my favorite director, and THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS my favorite film, but something about this film just seemed off. He seems to be rehashing the same material and themes over and over and over again, and as a viewer, this was by far the least rewarding experience I've gotten from any of his films. It was less funny, less emotional, and there was less action than in any of his other films. In summary, THE DARJEELING LIMITED offered nothing new to the viewer already familiar with Anderson's work. In this way, it seemed like a tremendous waste of an opportunity to do something more. Perhaps Anderson should welcome Owen Wilson back as his writing partner? Whatever the case, I, as a fan, make the plea that Anderson should attempt writing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT for his next film, because right now he seems to be stuck.
