this is soooo bad. i got to see an advance screening (tonight actually) through rolling stone and left halfway through the movie. other people started leaving before us too. considering that this was a free screening and ppl were walking out, i'd have to say the movie is bad.

i havent seen any, and in fact didnt know anything about terry gilliams until i read the last issue of rolling stone, which did give the movie a somewhat favorable review (3 stars). the movie is just a lil strange and jumps in w/o much story development imo.

Hmm, thanx for the bumpage.

Looks like a movie worth renting when the DVD comes out.

terry gilliam is one of the greatest directors of all time. strange could be used to describe the majority of his films but "w/o much story development" is not a phrase i would ever associate with any of his movies.

:beer: here is to hoping the movie was just over your head

Almost every review I have read says this is Gilliams worst film ever. It's getting slammed all over the internet.

Hmm....

My wife and I saw it last night and thought it was great!

It wasn't perfect. It jumped around a lot (I don't mean the story jumped around. The story maintained a constant timeline, but the scenes skipped like a scratched record). I don't know if that happened in editing (bad editing) or if the director knew he had a lot to squeeze into two hours, but that's my only complaint.

The story was cool. The visuals were awesome. Acting was good. A few "made you jump" moments (damn crows.) I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 easy.

Maaaaatttttt Daaaayy-mon

I liked this movie ok - it wasn't great, but it picked up steam about halfway through and ended up being worth seeing. For most people, I would say this would be a great rental.

However, this movie exemplified one of my biggest pet peeves about movies. I can't stand it when characters have such thick accents that I can't understand what they are saying. This was the case with virtually every French character in the whole show.

 

[RTdc]

It was an OK movie. It was a little slow sometimes, but it could have been done a lot better. From what I read, the studio had a lot to do with this movie not living up to its potential. Maybe a Director's Cut DVD in the future?

Anyways, what the hell was up with some of the camera work? Most of it looked good, but there were certain scenes where it looked really grainy, like watching RealPlayer on dial-up.

 

[hypn0tik]

Holy sh|t, God no. I had the displeasure of watching this movie yesterday and trust me when I say it was terrible. I wish I could gouge my eyes out in the hopes of unseeing that movie. It is as bad as (if not worse) "13 Going On 30".

I'd give it a 2/10. Don't waste your money watching it. Don't even bother renting it and don't waste your bandwidth downloading it. You'll be much better off not watching this movie.

Edit: Spelling.

I noticed that too. Specifically, when they ride the horses into the forest for the first time... it was really blurry, grainy and jerky.

Like I said: Bad editing. Maybe they had a n00b editor?

Why did you think it was so bad? I mean.. You've got a few sentences up there stating how bad you thought it was, but why did you think it was bad? Story? Acting? Lack of laser beams?

i saw this movie and i was left with a ton of questions and really confused. other than that it was ok.

So it's 34% better than Undiscovered? Unless the rating of that one changed since I last looked.

It was mentioned already but the movie jumped around a lot. It seemed really random and didn't make sense at all. In addition to that some parts were completely unexplained and made you go 'WTF? Where did that come from?' or 'How the hell did that happen?' The storyline was all over the place.

The camera work was a bit bad in some scenes but I thought they did it intentionally to give it some sort of 'effect'. However, I didn't find anything particularly effective about it.

I wish I could say that they had a good concept to work with but fvcked up in the process. However, I didn't find the 'X factor' in the concept.

I guess the most accurate way to describe the movie is with the word random.

No where near the quality of his previous films. Go see Baron Munchausen if you want a true taste of Gilliam's work.
