I thought that this was going to be terrible. Then the hijacking, although racist and awful, was fairly well done and I thought maybe I've misjudged this film.
I had not.
Gets worse the longer it goes on and the more Norris is in it. Teerible
Full Nicholas Cage, with alien lovecraftian horror.
Totally preposterous, but for what it is it's well done.
Technically very good, action scenes were tense. Acting all very believable. But no heart and without that you just don't have a very good film
I enjoyed the film but it totally glosses over how terrible organised criminals are. Morally it's terrible, but entertaining nevertheless
Really enjoyed this. Plenty of action and some great characters. Would certainly be interested in a sequel
This is just plain bad. Cliche after cliche.
A lot of this film makes absolutely no sense. It was still good fun, and a perfect Sunday afternoon sort of film.
But you have to feel that if it was made to day no child would be allowed out in a boat by themselves so it'd be over fairly quickly :)
God awful! Just avoid it.
I had low expectations. Even they weren't met
So half of this film was starting to get vaguely interesting. But the Sharon Tate storyline should have been dropped and the final scenes made me dislike it intensely.
I get the feeling that Tarantino enjoys making films about Badguys cause then he feels justified about the level of relish and delight he brings to violence. I think it is utterly unwarranted.
Even if the characters are Nazis it isn't about who the actions are being done to, it is about the characters waging the violence with such glee. So glad I didn't go see this in the cinema.
Also Brad Pitt got an Oscar for this! What a joke.
Not great, but not terrible either.
Performances were great. Story was tense. But it was just so shouty and Howard was so intolerable that it didn't engage me at all
Hmmm. This has not aged well. I remember really enjoying this beck in the day.
Entertaining enough in it's way
Didn't quite pull off the atmosphere it needed but still watchable
Average enough film, although the soundtrack was a bit over the top with its jauntiness
This was not at all what I expected, and I really really liked it
Don't think it. Don't say it.
It being a desire to watch this film because it is utterly rubbish
This is a very strange film. It could have been really good, but then it just goes and does something surreal and off the wall and ruins it all. Elliot is great in it though.
It'd be interesting to see this remade with a more sympathetic version of Barbara, an intelligent woman, full of life but given the times, her only options were marriage and a trapped life.
On second watch this is a bit meh, not scary enough, although a few good jump moments.
I enjoyed it a lot on more my first watch (http://www.susanhatedliterature.net/2017/09/it-based-on-the-book/ ) but it really doesn't reward a second viewing.
I'll still be off to watch the second chapter though.
Dialogue is bit too philosophical and ott at times, and it lost me at some point in the middle, but there are some really great moments in it.
Kept me entertained, but certainly wouldn't be one I'd be rushing to rewatch.
So I've heard that this film got butchered by the studio and boy does it ever show. this film makes no sense. Unless all you want to look at is atmospheric fog, brights lights, dark shadows and goth/bdsm aesthetic. I mean, it is a look I guess... but it isn't really an actual film.
This is where the true insanity begins. I mean I know the others weren't realistic, but the ascent to surreal genius is almost upon us.
I'm not sure I buy the romance at all in this film, and isn't he like old enough to be her father... but it's a nice watch.
This is a terrible terrible film. So boring.
I guess making a monster film this dull is an achievement of sorts...
I have been watching TFATF films for 18 years. I cannot be objective about them, they are awesome. Also nonsensical.
Ah this is just a classic. Remember watching it so many times on video, not because it was great, but because it was one of the few videos we actually owned!
