Comments: Richard Donner has a had a pretty successful career with films like The Omen, Superman, and the Lethal Weapon series on his résumé. Sadly, Conspiracy Theory doesn't live up to those standards, even with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts as the leads. It's too long, with a plot that could be tightened up a bit (or a lot), and it's just generally uninteresting. Gibson's character is extremely unlikable for the most part, but the fact that Mel himself is portraying the character is supposed to endear him to the audience. Conspiracy Theory really isn't worth your time.
