KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

christopher-underwood The original Ray Bradbury story is great but even back in the day I didn't think was a very fine adaption. Things are made a little worse, I think, with Blu-ray, the fire engine looks distinctly toy like and the streets and houses like some model village. I realise now that there are further problems contributing to this not being the success it might have been. The major rift between Oskar Werner and Truffault must have been devastating for the young director, the lack of mutual language between him and many of the English crew another. But, most of all is the script itself, written without full knowledge of English. This certainly all goes to explain the stilted nature of the performances, which might have helped with a conventional science-fi but not here when this is more about the loss of books. The final scene in the woods, in the snow, is absolutely magical and here the director had a bit of luck (even if the actors didn't) because I understand the snow is real and was unexpected. Truffault did well to use it and so well.

mamasan41-829-175553 And explained he wrote this story about the time televisions were taking over homes!! He hated this and tried to imagine life without books!!! A good idea can come from anywhere! I liked this version and did not like the recent remake. Cheers!

Minh To Quang A fair adaptation of a quite brilliant novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury (1953). As expected from a movie made in the 60's, there is no CGI or movie effects whatsoever, and for this reason the spirit of a dystopian work was uphold. However, the differences between this and the novel account for my personal preference for the novel: 1/All the scifi elements are dropped, which kinda enhances the idea that human intelligence slows down due to an oppressive society. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just I so much prefer the idea that society has developed great technology that enables one person to manipulate it and stands atop of the world. That's just more dystopian to me. 2/The ending scene really bothers me. I can't be the only one who hates it. Specifically the scene where a near-dying man recites Robert Louis Stevenson to his grandchild. To me, it feels as though it's just rote memorization without a precise and spontaneous appreciation and appraisal of the literary work.

Isaac Chan This movie is honestly one of the worst movies ever watched. Reading the book twice before I realize it is not even adaptation to the original story with no connection to the actual book itself. Even for the 1960s the acting is very bad. Not only did he change the characters name around pretty much change the entire story and honestly the action and sci-fi inside the movies terrible, it should be considered a comedy rather than a thriller. If this movie wasn't based on the book, and it was an original story probably be good but the reason it's bad is because they change the entire story. This is a laughable experience actually it's probably more funny than any comedy movie I've ever watched in my entire life the special-effects suck in during that time 10 years later Star Wars came out to considering that fact I'm pretty sure this movie sucks. I prescient the fact that they made it but considering they had about $1 million budget in the 1960s I shame on them. The only reason that this is a two out of 10 instead of a one out of 10 it's pretty much just because they made it into a movie. all in all the plot is slow the movies that the special-effects horrible and the story is not consistent with the book. 2/10-Isaac
