I wanted to love this so much, but it just felt... Empty. The characters didn't connect at all and the Fantastic Beasts themselves felt like an afterthought to the franchise they're actually trying to build.
Overall a watchable movie with some charming moments but damaged by a muddy story and atrocious pacing. I expected more from the HP universe.
Why are you rating movies that haven't even been made yet?
Why do film studios have to spell stuff out for us , we are not idiots. The fact that we knew Adaline never aged from the start was a bad move. The studio should have kept us guessing...make the audience work. Why was Adaline on the Run?, Why did she have to keep changing identities?. The big reveal should have been when Adaline met Ellis' father. A great film but could have been so much better. As soon as this movie hits blu ray. I am going to make my own edit.
People have to realize what they're about to watch before they go into it. The actors are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. It's not meant to be Academy Award winning gold. It's supposed to be ridiculous fun. And it is. I mean, there's a giant ceramic penis. What do you expect? I laughed so much. You just can't take a movie like this seriously. It's purely for stupid laughs.
Probably never seen that many proposals, marriages and pregnancies in one film, but I loved it!
Genuinely funny, with some great movie references hidden within, and a script that is sharper than the usual generic animated fare. More like this please Netflix.
I was expecting this movie to be cute and funny and feel-good but it was a lot more than that and I am so happy! It was very touching and I spent a lot of it quietly weeping hahaha and it has such a good message <3 I wouldn't change any bit of it...except for her staying with the guy at the end - what was up with that?! But all in all it was sooo good and I highly recommend it.
I'm still sobbing as I write this. The film is very good but it is quite traumatic. It is a subtle meditation on grief (as symbolised by the monster) and will ring true to a lot of peoples experiences. Billed as a family film, though I fear young ones will be too scared by the monster and too upset by the subject matter. Brilliant performance from the young lead and a great script that isn't as heavy handed as it could have been.
I don't care what people say... I liked this movie! Sure some bits where predictable but I laughed most of the movie! Just like Baywatch... Don't think to much and just enjoy the movie
Darcy is so great. Kat Dennings should've had even more screentime in this.
Liked the first movie, but this one felt.... Milked. They were almost always running from something, which got quite repetitive. While 'run' is in the series name, it still got old very quickly.
The main character, Thomas, seemed to be the only one who was being developed as a character. Everyone else was bland.
One of the best comedy movies I've seen in a long time. Jason Statham was brilliant and Melissa was so good, she was the queen of the movie. Great cast, really.
So funny, I want to see it again already.
If Tarantino and Edgar Wright had a baby... it would have been born at the El Royale.
What a load of crap. The acting was dreadful. Give this a wide berth if possible. Story line was rubbish too. Total thumbs down for me.
This movie was honestly better than expected. It had a strong storyline, believable characters, and some decent suspense thrown in. (Which is a reminder that you don't need gore to have a decent Halloween horror story.)
An hour and forty minutes of Scarlett Johansson getting naked, seducing guys and killing them in some weird vortex pool inside a house. If you like her, watch it! Scarlett and the awesome film photography are good reasons to do so.
You have to be in the mood to be challenged and completely open to see it as a look of the world through her alien eyes.
It's bizarre, dark, intriguing and is going to make you think "WTF is going on here?!". But it's a boring film overall in which nothing really happens - be aware of that.
this film moved me a lot. It has the right dosage of humor, art and sentiment. The cast is perfect. Best movie of 2015 so far
Blake Lively's performance was amazing from start to finish, the story and concept were enough to get me to watch it (regardless of the fact i love me some Blake). This movie will be a part of my collection as soon as its released on iTunes, 9/10.
The film is just perfect! Never a dull moment. But there is a clear division into two main themes. In the first part, we have the comedy we expect for and we laugh tons. In the second part, it becomes more sober and dramatic, but that's what make the film so special.
I've liked it much more than expected from ratings! Funnier than most Adam's stuff, and Tyrion and Ned were great.
Great soundtrack, and as alejandro_mhr says, it doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed every moment of it. It was just the senseless action-filled movie I was looking for.
The performance of Dan Stevens noted itself for me, and I'll be watching him further! Great acting, great pushing of limits.
The only thing that bothered me was the fact that when she finally named the girl, she named her Olympia, rather than Cinderella/Ella
I never laughed so hard and so long !!! It's nearly impossible to rate because no other movie has ever try so hard to shock, disgust, outrage or just make bad jokes and somehow nails to makes you laugh. It doesn't count for nothing to cast as many stars in this independent comedy as in an Hollywood blockbuster. It's a wonderful idea to push the boundaries of what is considered as acceptable and I can't wait to see another movie that has the guts to do the same.
Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe...
Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
It's an amazing movie provided you know what you're going in for. There'll always be moody critics who will find faults.
This movie is exactly what it's trailer states. A light hearted murder mystery with comedy in between.
Jennifer Aniston was lovely as always.
I especially love the ending to it
Spoiler
They end up on the orient express.
He states "There is one question" and "only one answer is required." the question is "any questions " meaning (do you have) any questions. Yes or no is irrelevant. There can be any amount of answers but only one is REQUIRED. There is no right answer, no wrong answer. The paper was purely a clue, (and a distraction.) The entire movie is about attention to detail!
He said your face tattoos make you look like someone tried to paint a worn out dildo with a Sharpie bahahaha
Well, I compleatly enjoyed the movie. I like the music in the movie, it fits in perfectly. The screenplay was nice and acting was good, but the ending for me felt rushed. It feels like they could have made it better, but I still liked it! But I don't know how the book is, so can't say how different the book and the movie is. Maybe I should read the book!
And what is it with movies and trailers lately. In the trailer when Vee goes to the cop car, the police officer know her name and seems to be "part of the game". But it was not like that in the movie. And when i first saw the trailer, that part made the movie seem "better?". But well, I guess the trailers now days lie about the movies ;) cough cough suicide squad
