I read the plot and there was the eye catcher daydreams in it.
Who does not day dream - at least I do sometimes in the park on a sunny afternoon - and that is why I watched the movie. I expected a movie where a completely different world is building up, kind of Cloud Atlas . And that was my expectations of this movie.
Well if you were thinking the same, you might get disappointed like I did, because The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is much different than the already mentioned movie.
I do not want to spoiler to much here, but the movie start with the day dreams, and after some time you really know what is gonna happen next, no even know how it is gonna end - about 20 minutes after the beginning.
The acting is average (it is a Ben Stiller movie - what do u expect^^), the pictures are nice sometimes, and you might get a few laughs - but not that many.
What a pitty! because the movie and the plot would have so great potential in it, which is simply not gonna be used here. :-(
That is the reason I give it only 6 out of 10 Trakt hearts.
Is it fair that I compare the pictures on the ocean of "Life Of Pi"" with "All Is Lost"?
I am not really sure about it. But if you would, the picture of "Life of Pi" would be better.
The pretty old Robert Redford alone on an ocean with his boat. There nearly no dialogues. I am pretty sure that there are less then 200 words spoken. And I did not got bored. That is not easy to do something.
Redford did an amazing performance in this movie - if not his best. At least for a long time.
One of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time.
Seriously.
I never heard about this movie. I just stumbled over it, because I found a suggested trailer.
And that was a trailer which was interesting - so I gave the movie a try and did not regret it.
The concept is fresh - or it is just me because I have not seen something like this before. The (strange) teacher is making mind games with his pupils, and you gonna see what they are thinking.
They all want to survive, they are all well educated and they all want to rebuild mankind's civilization, after many nuclear bombs are falling down from the sky. But they are something about 20 people, and only ten get into the bunker to take shelter - so they have to decide who will not get it. That is the main plot.
This might sound boring, but it was not. It was really nice to see how they react to some different situations. And I did not get bored, because they rebooted the mind game too often.
What I did not like was, that the ending was pretty obvious. At least for me not that big surprise.
I suggest you gonna watch this movie - because it is "nice" to do it and no waste of time. :D
It took a long time before I watched this movie, because I thought it has a different plot: A movie about some magicians, who are doing tricks - a show in Las Vegas, and there is also a movie about that.
Well, in some way that is plot ^^ but it was better than expected, because they build in a nice plot with the FBI around it to also get some action parts in the story line.
But I have to say, that the movie didn't convinced me at all. The characters were nice, but they don't felt like magicians - they felt like actors - as they are.
I gave this movie 6/10 points because it was "fair"... definitely I won't watch it a second time.
It is not a really good animated movie:
As an adult I do not like those dancing scenes with nasty music.
And I don't like to know how the movie is gonna end after 15 minutes watching.
-.-
Well, I had no idea of the plot when I watched this movie. But I knew that it is something about blood - just by looking at the cover. ;)
I personally think it was a good remake. I did not get bored during watching, the characters were nice ... and the "Teenie" part was not toooo much. -The ending was good.
Srsly. I want my time back. Need it to clean my flat - because this is more fun that watching this movie.
Very disappointed.
-.-
Watching this isn't a waste of time, but it isn't good either.
5/10 ?... yes... 5 lovely
-.-
Compared to "Cars" this movie was really a big disappointment. Not more, not less.
And I think it was made as a sequel to Cars.
-.-
3/10
Oh............. I wasted my time watching this. So boring. And it reminded me of "Cars" so many times.
This movie unwatched so long in my library, and True Grit has really good ratings so I give it a try.
Even if i don't like Western movies. And I really, really don't like Western.
The plot:
The father of a very young girl got killed. She wants revenge and is hiring two wild-west guys to capture/kill him and she joins them on their hunt, which the guys don't like at the beginning.
Let's start with the actors: all great! All of them. Even if I am not that big fan of Matt Damon i have to admit that this movie might be the best actor-performance he ever did. The only problem I had with Jeff Bridges. As English is not my mother tongue it was hard to understand what he was saying. It was more than mumbling rather than talking .-/ So maybe you want to turn subtitles on.
The pictures were great. Honestly - wonderful. Open wide areas put you in the atmosphere that you are really in the Wild, wild west :)
Also the story is good. But it is still a western - movie. So all the time I feel like: "Oh I should like that." ... but I did not. Maybe I am more the Star Trek guy, or just a guy who doesn't like western.
So if you feel the same: you can watch it. But put your preferred Smartphone or Tablet device next to you when watching this movie so you don't get bored.
I am a little disappointed of this movie. Only a little.
It is part of a trilogy. I have already seen "Paradise Love" which was much more better. Ulrich Seidl (also) wants to shock with his movies, but nothing big happened there, but maybe just my expectations were to high.
When I compare it to Paradise Love, then I have to say that Ulrich Seidl is working with more pictures and less text. Usually its both shocking: the pictures and the text. But here I miss the text.
The movie was much more better in the beginning when she wants so missionize some random people in Vienna. After her husband got on the screen, I was annoyed of the plot that he is Muslim and her husband, and she his a hardcore catholic-person. I think it would be better if the plot would have gone into a different direction.
However I have to say that Maria Hofstätter is a great actress! I can recommend to watch this movie, but if you never have been in touch with Ulrich Seidl, you might consider to watch "Import / Export" first, then move on to "Paradise: Love" and then watch this movie.
I give that movie 7 out of 10 points.
The genre of this movie is action & thriller. Haha!
But it was more like a comedy movie! xD Because the movie takes itself serious, and I cannot support that. Gerald Butler counters 80+ people!? Even in "Die Hard" less people died. And the actors are really bad. Pfff.
Don't get me wrong: there are so many action scenes in it, blowing up half of Washington D.C. but thriller? No way. You already know at at the beginning of the movie, how it is gonna end.
Nothing bad about that, because I watched this movie to turn off my head , drinking some beer after a hard day at the university.
I gotta say I like movies with patriotism in it. Why? Because it makes me laugh when I hear USA! USA! USA! and flags of the US everywhere! Like in Independence Day or in Pearl Harbor . Nothing to be much proud of in this country compared to other countries in the world, especially after the "Snowdon" incident.
So I rate this movie as a "meh", 5 out of 10 points.
Have fun guys when watching this, but do not take it serious. Then you might gonna like it.
Shit. I really expected something more from that movie.
As I read the plot, I expected something great like in Short Bus ( http://trakt.tv/movie/shortbus-2006 )
But there wasn't. The plot is very simple and unfortunately there are not many surprises in it:
Guy wants to get back is girlfriend. She broke up because he is VERY conservative and really poor in bed. So he needs some help and finds that in a nice young lady. She is working as a stripper and got problems too: she has no clue about financial stuff but is very good in sex-stuff.
So they are helping each other. And a love story develops which you already predicted. .-/
But in my opinion it isn't a very sexual movie. Yes there are some scenes which are sexual but nothing that justifies the title "My Awkward Sexual Adventure"! The movie is more about a role-changing, role playing game. And that also doesn't really work out too much. But maybe its bad I compare it to a movie like shortbus.
But anyway: some funny scenes are in this movie, and it is quite enjoyable. But only 6 out of 10.
If you expect something really cool or good you better watch Shortbus.
This movie is a good remake from a fairy tale, with a little bit of a love story in it:
A poor farm boy falls in love with a princess. The farm boy is getting magic beans and voilà: giant roots of a plant out of the beans are growing, and so they visit the home of the bad-boy giants.
Since you know the fairy tale, you won't get any big surprises in this movie though. But that doesn't really matter if you watch this movie if you got nothing else to do in the evening. Good animated giants and the acting was also good. It seems Nicholas Hoult is getting more and more popular (He was also the main actor in the recent released movie "Warm Bodies") - and thats what I really appreciate.
But you also won't get bored watching this movie because its really entertaining!
Have fun. =)
Wallace and Gromit ftw!
Haha. I love the Wallace and Gromit movies.
The movie was okay. Not so many funny scenes .-/ But also not wasted time at all.
You have to get the movie a rating of 5, because auf the "meh" hahahaha
They simply "stole" the good name of "Die Hard" and produced a movie.
What a shame!
Uh. Hm. I am not sure what to say about this movie. The action scenes are good. The story not that much.
Honestly I can't understand, why Hollywood isn't making a whole new story, but using a fairy story and change basically the whole story. But this movie isn't about the story. It's about action.
Nothing big new in it, and I hate when an actor has to say when he might lose in a fight scene:
"Well, if you go home now - I might consider not to kill you!"
and the bad guy (there the witches reply:
"Wuahahahaha" (Thats an evil laugh) "You are so many more."
Honestly: How often have you seen such a scene. This is sooooooo stereotyped.
Definitely not a movie worth watching a 2nd time.
The movie is very steril/clean. I don't know how to explain it but something was wrong while watching this.
Anyway. You get few laughs when watching this movie, no big surprises. And you already know how the end is going to be, when you watch the first 15 minutes. What I am writing. After the first 5 minutes. ^^
If you got nothing else to do on an evening, and playin' some games with your smart phone when watching its, its okay to do so.
But after watching 1 time, I already deleted this movie from my library.
I think you like this movie when you are married. Or divorced.
But if you are not, you only get 2-3 laughs when watching this movie. And thats not enough for 1.5 hours of your life time. And the end is really bad. Dafuq?
If you do not expect to much of this movie - its gonna be okay and worth watching it.
The plot is set in the near future: A man is getting Alzheimer, his son/daughter send him a robot to help him. The old man was into some crime stuff when he was younger.... and now he got a new toy to play with :D
That's all without to spoiler too much.
They are really some funny scenes in it, but I like it more because of the possibility that using a robot in this way might be the future. Think about it: Its already possible to have cleaning-helps at your home. Vaccuum Cleaner are already on the market, and another one who's wiping your floor. (I got both by the way^^). Not to mention expensive toys like the Aibo from Sony. So lets see how this continues.
But if you expect many action scenes in this movie like iRobot: nope! And thats okay with that movie.
If you want to chill out on your couch after a sunny day: that movie would make it. And you might get some laughs out of it.
I give it a "Fair" so - 6 / 10 points.
Its about a boy in the middle 20s who wants so get an actors in HoHoHollywood. He's gay just like other people in Hollywood^^ and to get some money he's working in the porn industry. First he doesn't want to do a porn movie - but later he does. Why? To get money.
Then he works as an escort, meeting a celebrity and fall in love. But nobody can't know.
Everything in this movie I ve already seen - just with heterosexual content. So it's a gay-themed movie. Anyway: no big surprises, nothing special. 5/10
a pleasant surprise. a really good movie!
How got this movie a rating of 71% ?
Seriously?
Well if u get some millions of budget to produce that shit, and if you decide as an director this shit has gonna happen in Germany - can you even get some proper translator who really speaks German?
As I am from Austria, German is my mother tongue (some people from Germany might disagree though ^^) I hardly could understand what the "Germans" in this movie are saying.
But not only mention the language I might wanna say if this movie should be funny: ITS NOT
Better watch something else or do something better with your time.
I cannot believe I watched the movie the whole 2 hours to the end.
Ha! At the beginning the daughter is making her driver license. It was crystal clear that she gonna drive in the movie again. Like hell I might add.
And it was soooo annoying as he always said: "Go. Drive. Faster!" And she: "I can't! I can't!
Well. Repeating that about 20 times? Hahaha!
The movie was okay, I guess. Many action scenes, some nice pictures from the roof-tops, nothing surprising in this movie.
I don't really care if its a straight-to-dvd-movie. What I care about is, if the movie is good or not.
Well - it's not ^^
I don't even know why I watched this movie. The story is a little bit better than a good cop <-> bad cop story, the actors except De Niro and Whitaker are bad.
Its about some coke and some corrupt cops who wanna make money. Some "in the hood" action scenes, white guys call black guys "nigger", some ganstahhh rap and Mr. 50 Cent wants to revenge his daddy.
Getting a 4/10 "Poor", because it isn't even "Meh" which would be 5/10
