Whip It is a great mixture of a coming of age story and a sports comedy. There are some aspects of it that are pretty formulaic but the characters are good enough and the film is fun enough to get you through the hurtle. Ellen Page anchors the whole film with a performance that is just as good as her effort in Juno and Kristen Wiig and Marcia Gay Harden are awesome too. I would like to see Drew Barrymore take another directing job because this is a very underrated movie.
PS. Jimmy Fallon has the best role of his career in this movie. Fallon alone is a reason to watch Whip It.
This premise had a lot of potential. I wanted to like the movie, but was really disappointed in the end.
It was unfocused, the worldbuilding felt inconsistent and the different parts didn't seem connected.
A futuristic Berlin skyline, retro interiors, contemporary cars, and buildings didn't fit together in this context.
The acting by the three main protagonists was alright and had many good parts,
but was hampered by a rather bad, uninteresting plot which included some dull dialogs.
It sometimes just felt randomly diced together.
It wasn't a terrible movie, but it was just too flawed to be enjoyable.
I was actually surprised that this was actually a quite decent movie. It’s not scare at all but the story is quite good and even the execution is almost all the time good as well.
As with all horror movies I was expecting some kind of weird twist somewhere in the middle but there wasn’t. It’s really predictable but altogether way over my really low expectations.
Was also surprised to see Uma Thurman in this.
A total blast. An homage to several old horror flicks, that's hilariously done. Great characters, great dialog, awesome effects. I love this movie, and it still holds up.
Parody is dangerous territory for film, because there's a difference between being funny, and simply exaggerating everything about your source material. To those filmmakers who fall victim to the latter: Hot Fuzz is your playbook. Learn it.
It did not meet my expectations that were set by the original trailers that Zack Snyder released. The fun parts are childish due to Whedon reshoots. Characters are deep, but they got dumbed down by reshoots, and the story is simplified.
The flashback scene is beyond awesome. Be sure to stay all the way until the end because the 2nd after credits scene is so good, it will blow your mind.
Also, I am hoping there will be a Snyder Cut because 2 hours just felt too short for this movie, and I know there are a lot more scenes that were cut for theatrical release, just like with BvS and SS.
All in all, it was a decent movie, but we deserve to see the real version of this movie as Zack Snyder intended it to be.

Visually stunning.
That's about all I have to say about this film. The story line was ridiculous, the acting was less than bearable, and for it's over two hour run time you would think that something would have connected. A random overacted film that could have used a lot more work in the story department.
I stayed for the visuals, but tuned out the story line.
I had no idea what to expect from this film and I actually really enjoyed it. Highly unique plot, loved all the alien creatures, spectacularly aesthetically pleasing visuals! Overall an enjoyable choice.
An enjoyable trip into nostalgia. It started strong but then lagged a bit in the gloom in the Hundred Acre Wood (I was beginning to worry) then Eeyore arrived and the real rescue of Christopher Robin began. It was all adventure after that. Cast was strong. Great voice work. I'm absolutely fascinated with the mix of live action, animation and puppetry. I give this a 7.9 (strong show) out of 10.

World Premiere Review:
Surprisingly good. I had a smile on my face throughout most of the movie and it's genuinely funny. The whole cast is spot on with Ewan hitting it out of the park. Having grown up with Winnie the Pooh, I definitely had an enhanced experience. Discounting for nostalgia, it goes from a 9 to an 8, only because the opening third is quite slow, but it's a very well made film. You believe the stuffed animals are living, breathing things...and you want to believe!
Moving period piece romance about coming to terms with the past and moving on into a brighter future. Lily James is superb.
This feels like it’s trying to be dirty for the sake of being dirty and it’s not funny. I didn’t think it could be this bad but it’s one of the worse movies of the year. Don’t waste your time or money.
I walked in excited and walked out a smile that I couldn't wipe off my face!
Rogue One was a story almost developed to perfection, at every point your on the edge of your seat and can't help but feel invested in the story. And the Vader scene was epic in of itself, just made me tingle.
The amazing cinematography, fantastic scenes, and a final act that made this an Epic movie, and a must watch for every person, Star Wars fans and others shouldn't miss it.
On par with Empire Strikes back and probably one of the best movies of 2016.
We want more!
Really poorly written. Can't believe there were so many predictable moments and moments filled with complete and utter pathos. So, so dissappointed.
For fans of 80's horror in particular. It's not easy to be constantly entertaining, but this does it. I've read the negative comments on imdb and they are mostly shallow. It's gross? It was meant to be. It's not as good as movie x y and z? Defensive and this movie is a homage to mostly 80's cheese (I suppose it's only cool to like modern 80's horror style when it's Stranger Things, which was completely contrived 80's.) Boring? If that's what your opinion is, that's OK. Not funny? It's humorous, and another opinion. It's silly/stupid? Yes it is. Some people are above fun and see that as a negative, I forgot.
It's not perfect by any means. Its well written. It is stupid and fun. It will remind you of other movies. It that bother you, don't watch it.
Here's a re some movies it may remind you of.
Shivers. Night of the creeps. Society. Tremors. The Blob. The faculty. The Fly.
