Too silly for my enjoyment. Tried to send a message, but apparently pressed the wrong button.
Probably the most overrated movie of 2022.
One of the most influential movies out there!!!
I do not usually write reviews, as I generally find ratings etc. on Trakt to be somewhat accurate. However, I found this movie to just be insanely overrated. The movie tries way too hard to be grand and funny, but is neither.
One of the best
That end was so ridiculous haha

There is something very special going on in this movie. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of Christmas movies, and I'm not a fan of Will Ferrells comedy, but this movie just hits the sweet spot. After watching it, I'm always smiling like an idiot.
The basic idea is really quite weird, but the story is told with a sweetness that really sells it. Will Ferrells performance is spot on, his over the top kind of comedy just fits with the character perfectly. And it has Zooey Deschanel (even singing), which never hurts.
My absolute favorite Christmas movie, miles ahead of everything else.
Holy shit. It's absolutely off the rails and just batshit insane. There aren't enough words to explain how batshit insane it is. I am not exaggerating. It's deeply comical and incoherent. All the characters are over the top and fun to watch. There's a genuine manic energy that reminds me a lot of TCM2 but with the unpleasantness of TCM1. I can't say that I recommend it, but I think it's the most interesting sequel or remake so far.
It was alright, I guess.
Did you all give high ratings to make a point? Half way through the movie I could not keep my eyes open. Seriously... 8.7 / 10 in IMDB. Crazy!
This movie was great because I fell asleep in the theater and had an amazing nap
This is without doubt the greatest film I've ever seen
i liked this film more than the 1st one. & i didnt have to type out a short novel about it
Im Nicaraguan, and the facts are not wrong. Its good to people to know a little bit of history of our countries.
Far too long, completely overdone. By the end, you are just wishing it will be over.
I don't know if I went into this with high expectations because of the critical acclaim it has, but I was left a bit confused at the end as to why Vertigo is so lauded.
I love many movies from this era and indeed Hitchcock's work (I especially love Rear Window) but hadn't seen this one before. The first half of the film was enjoyable and felt like a slow burn, unfolding towards some thrilling conclusion. James Stewart is always watchable and the cast in general is good, but I felt the film's second half drastically let it down. There were abrupt developments, such as Stewart's character Scotty getting hospitalised then suddenly free again, and then there's how Scotty displays a manipulative stalker-like side when he finds Kim Novak's character again, and pretty much holds her captive for the remainder of the film - until her death marks the almost hilariously abrupt ending.
I certainly wanted to like this film, and perhaps a second viewing will unlock some of its charms, but as a first watch and impression, Vertigo was sadly lacking for such a lauded film by an acclaimed director.
People complain about a movie being slow as if a two and a quarter hour meditation is somehow a bigger crime than fifty hours of deadening CGI about a purple man getting a magic mitten.
One of the most beautiful alien encounter films I've watched.
I can watch this film over and over again
I'm on Oh-ficial Clown business bitch, so watch this great movie!
This is one of the first movies my father showed me, when I was about 12 years old. That was over 30 years ago. To this day it is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is also the first movie I remember that made the specific point that not all German soldiers were Nazis. And there was quite some animosity between the military branches like the German Air Force towards the SS and Gestapo. There is this neat little scene in the office of the camp leading officer and it's awesome to see how he really doesn't even care about the Hitler salute. As a teenager that was an important distinction and it is sad that to this day a lot of people still don't know that a lot of German soldiers actually hated the Nazis and only kept on fighting for patriotism. The German officer even says he just hopes he can survive the war together with the prisoners as comfortably as possible. This was made in 1963. To this day not many WWII care to make a distinction between SS and other German military. For me this is the greatest triumph of this movie.
Do people not realize this actually happened? That's what makes it so disturbing.
Always fun, always humorous and always the right time to see it again and again.
My pops likes to torture moms occasionally and sit thru every 007 movie in what he calls Bondfest bahahaha
Look how they massacred my boys
One of the greatest closing scenes ever filmed.
The fluffy ending is a little disappointing, but the balance of the film is an impressive meditation on the effects of World War I on the Lost Generation.
wtf did i just watch... 9/10
The film is not bad, but there are scenes that do not come to mind. What surprised me the most is that Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida appears.
