Much better if you only watch it once.
First I have to say that sports movies or in this case motor-sports movies are not the genre I usually prefer to watch.
But I gave Rush a chance, because friends told me that the movie is good, and Niki Lauda is an Austrian like me. Of course not the best reasons to watch a movie from a genre you are not into.
And I shouldn't have watched it. For me it was pretty boring, I started to skip some scenes. The acting of Daniel Brühl was really not good - and I hated that Austrian-English-accent. I guess yes, the people in Austria were bad in English at this time - but this accent for about two hours long. Noooooo.
But if you are into Formula 1 racing... I guess you gonna like it. I don't know. 4/10 hearts.
I loved it!
I am not the musical guy. I do not like the music, it feels so soft - so mainstream - so "happy everywhere" or "sadness overload".
And I think that musicals should be watched live in a theatre and not in a movie, because the story, songs etc. are written to be watched live. Just like movies should not be performed in theatre.
But I have to admit: Les Misérables was great! The actresses and actors were amazing, the music wonderful. But you have to watch the movie with good headphones - or if u lucky with a good sound system. :o)
The acting of Anne Hathaway was amazing. Big love! Just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzNVmZfNoa8
The interpretation and renewed songs are perfect. Just Russel Crowe potential of singing was not the best, but it did not bother me at all. One of my favourite scenes / sing parts by the way is this clip. Sorry for the subs there:

So even if you are not into musicals, give recommend to give it a try and you might get surprised and you gonna like it.
9 out of 10 points for this "movie". But if you didn't like the two youtube links I put here - you better won't watch the movie.
Okay.
After I watched this movie about 10 minutes I felt like I already have seen this movie. But I wasn't right.
The US produced the same movie in 2012. And the plot is the same, sometimes the camera positions are the same... it is pretty crazy.
Said that, I suggest you better watch this "version" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGoe7BdGdlg instead of this one.
Because the only reason why you wanna watch this movie is, that you gonna have some nice action scenes in it - and Red Dawn (2012) is much better as this one.
This movie has been in my library for a long time. Unwatched.
I prejudiced this movie too much.
Why? Because I thought, it is a movie about a boy who's getting in trouble, and finds himself on a small rescue boat on the ocean with a tiger. And the tiger. is getting his very best friend, they r gonna survive and: HAPPY END.
A Boy.
A Tiger.
On a boat.
Before watching this movie I thought, okay, this might get REALLY boring. Well I did not got bored at all! There was so much happing all the time.
I do not want to spoiler, but I loved the ending as well. Not the real big Hollywood - Ending where everyone is happy.
Stupid plot. Well, it wasn't.
When you watch this movie, you will get funny scenes (especially in the beginning), and really good actors.
You get stunning pictures and I do not mean the tiger by that. Sure the tiger / animals were GREAT, but I loved the pictures around the boat really much.
Life of Pi was one of the best movies I have seen this year... and it is October right now ;)
8/10
an action movie with a lot of fighting but it was really boring.
Fuck me!
One of the BEST MOVIESI have ever seen. Surprisingly!
I loved this movie when I was a kid. Still love it as an adult now.
Its quite an entertaining movie with a few laughs. Not a waste of time so give it a shot. :)
The movie is pretty old, I know. But I still love it to watch on a Sunday when you are wasted because Saturday night was a hard party night. :D
Hach =)
One of my favorite scenes :D
It really was okay. Check it out.
The story isn't that bad, but I have to admit that there are some boring scenes in it. Some of the stuff rly should have been cut out, and it is a matter of taste if you like that the whole movie is set up as an "documentary"... Internal Ship cameras documenting everything, and all the time of the whole movie is that mission logo .........
-.-
The problem is, that the mid and the ending of this movie is very predictable.
No way that it es a "Masterpiece" in Science Fiction.
It is no real Science Fiction... at least to me.
Do you want to turn off your head in the evening?
Then watch this movie.
I got home from a 3-day-long music festival and it was perfect, watching this movie. NOTHING new in it with many action scenes - but thats a little bit the problem: If you watch a movie with nothing new, and even there are many action scenes in it - but all of that action scenes are like "Hej I 've already seen that" its getting boring.
The plot:
The president is a double, he's evil and our heros have to kill him. And because he's evil he wants the world-domination. And if they don't then the "president" is gonna blow up the world with a super-duper-mega weapon. Just like Brain. From Pinky and Brain
Nice movie. Little bit like Shawn of the dead (which is better ofc), but I like the british humor.
Some scary scenes, but "harry potter" is still harry potter ^^
funny movie. =)
nice for a friday evening if u don't wanna go out.
First of all: Pompeii felt like a little bit like „Gladiator“ with Russel Crowe, but more than in a bad way.
If you gonna watch this movie, you get good special effects , and a bad story line with some plot holes. You already might know at the beginning of the movie, how it is gonna end - you at least gonna guess the middle „game“ of this Hollywood production.
And I feel a little bit bad for movies which have a bad story. You put millions of millions of Dollar$ into the special effects, production, actors and you put a fast-food story line in it? Why!?
.-/
Paul W.S. Anderson used the special effects too much. In those scenes, where the action is going on, the cuts were not the very best. He want to put so much action in it, that you might get a little bit confused - at least I got a little bit confused during watching.
And since I do not want to spoiler too much: a special scene where a character is dying… come on: You possible can not put more pathetic bullshit in it - can you?
Pompeii or is it spelled Pompeji (?) is getting 6 out of 10 trakt hearts. It is okay to watch this movie, if you want to turn your brain off for ~1.5 hours, but not worth to watch it a second time.
I only watched this movie, because I like Aubrey Plaza so much.
Her character in "Parks and Recreation" is one of my favorites (after Ron Swanson of course^^), and this movie was really fun to watch.
Not the very best, but okay.
Is it really a comedy movie? Hmm. I didn't laughed too much. Sometimes it's so serious to be a comedy movie.
Well if you got nothing else to do and doing the laundry - watch it. But definitly not worth watching a 2nd time.
One of the best - if not THE BEST - animated movie I have seen.
Nice story.
Good characters.
And beautiful 3D effects.
No nasty music dance up comedy like in Shrek and so on.
Love.
Universal Soldier. Remake? Honestly. omg :(
@dunpealhunter: you might never gonna read this, but I gotta say I really <3 your reviews.
A horror movie?
Well, it was really boring.
It seems like Marvel can't get on their feet again.
I didn't enjoy the story at all. Can recommend to watch it one time, if you got nothing else to do.
2nd comment on this: I don't know, why this movie got rated so bad. It is much better than expected. There are quite a few laughs, and its much better than recently "comedy" movies. I suggest give it a try, it is def. not a waste of your time.
It is a movie with a lot of action scenes and violence. It is okay to watch it at home, but in cinema I would think I wasted my money a bit. ... so don't expect too much, because there are also some plot holes in it.
If you are into a well produced action movie: go for it, you won't regret it. :)
I am very happy, when a movie is gonna surprise me.
In this case exactly that happened - but I don't want to put spoilers here.
What I can say is, that you definitely should watch this movie. There are wonderful pictures of the country, good acting of all actors and actresses. The introduction of the characters do not take that long and you will not get bored this movie, because it is exciting. I was not aware that the islands of Hawaii are that beautiful. It reminded me of some sceneries of Harry Potter and / or Lord of the Rings.
Trakt says, that it is a action movie... well I would say that is kind of true but it is more a thriller that an action movie. When I read action movie, I always thinking of big explosions and such stuff.. That is something that is not gonna happen here.
What I did not like was the backflash which took place to explain some things. One the one hand, if you watched it attentively you do not need that long backflash, because you already know what is gonna happen, and on the other hand I don't like backflashes as an instrument to explain things. There are other ways to do this.
Well I give it 7 out of 10 points.
For a movie produced in Germany it isn't that bad.
But some plot holes can be found here. -.-
