I couldn't actually finish it, and that fact alone allows me to rate it so badly. So hard to get into!
I love the adaptation of the characters, but not so much of the plot. It became slow and boring and as previously mentioned in another comment, kind of disconnected. You keep watching because the characters are very entertaining, and it was amazing how well they converted the fighting techniques from the anime and manga to live action. Very impressive!
I appreciate how close they kept to the play, but that effort was wasted in actors who couldn't seem to embrace their characters. It's really sad hearing such timeless lines said so robotically. In some instances, it even felt like the actor didn't understand the meaning of the words.
But while some failed, others did surprisingly well. It was interesting to see young people such as Hailee Steinfield and Kodi Smit-McPhee excelling at their roles. The lines came so naturally out of their mouths it felt like they've been talking like that for all their lives!
Hannah's (Kata Mara) was the best storyline, but just like every other character's, it was extremely underdeveloped. There was a lot of potential here, such a shame it was wasted. I hate saying this, but yes, this is a seriously boring movie.
I had no knowledge of the previous movie, but found this enjoyable enough. The problem is that it's predictable. It's too easy to guess what is happening with the twins, Mother's anger gives it a away - what was supposed to be a reason for fear is actually a big hint.
This is a very gross movie. Really, really gross. Just remembering makes me shudder.
A brilliant cast in a less than brilliant movie. I kept feeling I had seen this one before. I'm not sure I actually had and it was just really forgettable or if it's just the cliche plot that got me feeling that way.
It doesn't really matter if you like Elite Squad or not, the quality of the original movie is pretty undeniable. Captain Nascimento is an iconic and brilliantly played character; the controversy around the movie was more than enough to fuel a parody, but of course, this movie follows the stupid route of empty content. It's shame though, because the cast is actually very talented - the only reason why I made it through the end.
I'm blaming the director and writers, who have been involved in terrible pieces before.
Coxinha e sem sal. Exactly what I expected from Fiuk. What is Lilia even doing there? That woman is brilliant. If that movie got even 4 hears is because that woman can make even the most unfunny line sound funny! And Leandro Firmino too. That guy is hilarious!
One of the most offensive pieces I have ever seen in my life. It isn't an even adaptation, it's an entire new set of characters who happen to be named after the original ones by Conan Doyle. Downey Jr. just seems to play the same character again and again, and that character isn't Holmes.
How very sad. The cast has seasoned actors, known for amazing performances on both live theater and TV, and yet it feels they didn't try at all. The script was even lamer than usual for a romantic comedy and the acting made it just unbearable. I honestly couldn't bother to finish it, but I doubt it'd get any better. Take this as a very long ad for MSC Cruises an maybe it becomes acceptable, but as a movie, it's just a very unfunny and disappointing piece.
I've been keeping an eye out for Ezra Miller ever since Afterschool (which I loved), but it took me a while to get to this - and well, I'm just glad the synopsis didn't allow much room for expectations. It's a funny teen movie (bonus points for Jesse McCartney) but it runs as blend as most of the genre. I would not watch it again.
Wasn't this a surprise? It looks like your average silly teen comedy, but ended up being a quite nice teen romantic drama.
