Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

madpigmadpig Overall, surprisingly well done. The characterizations are just expository enough to be good without being too upfront. The acting is mostly fairly good, especially by the Anton Yelchin (who also did well in the recent faux Star Trek films) and Willem Dafoe (who always does a good job). I would be willing to watch a sequel. That said, the movie does have some flaws. Some of its special effects are too gross for kids to watch (the faceless people, a couple of the roach stunts), which is a pity because it would otherwise make a good kids' movie. Also, I have a bone to pick with the writing of the ending *spoiler alert from here on out* Having Odd and Stormy being able to kiss/touch when she's a ghost breaks the rules the movie set up only a couple of scenes before. Also, the ending fanfare scenes of the townspeople cheering Odd and the part where Stormy dissipates into butterflies didn't fit the feel of the rest of the film and took all the wind out of the movie's flow and rhythm. That's just bad writing. Here's the fix I would have suggested: Firstly, it's illogical that Odd forced the gal with the kids to leave but made no effort to save Stormy before the bad stuff went down. He should have told her to go, and then maybe she could have been distracted a little too long by trying to make the customers leave first. Then, in the moment when Odd steps into the ice cream shop and sees Stormy stand, causing his heart to lift and him to smile, the next beat should have been him walking towards her and her trying to speak to him and but being unable to. Then, just as the blow of the realization that she's a ghost hits him, the other ghost appears to notify him it's not over yet. There would be a brief, soul-crushing moment where Stormy urges him that he needs to follow the other ghost, and after the big action sequence she could come back later to pull him from unconsciousness in the hospital and say a proper goodbye then. See? Better, right? Well, I think so anyway.

SJ Staps This movie was fantastic! The main character is easily loved, while the movie focusses on the gifts he has and his mission. There is not too much comedy/humor but all characters in the film are very much enjoyable. The horror part of the movie is nicely balanced; the movie features loads of short parts of thrill. The gift is something that will stick to my mind for quite a while and keeps me thinking... as well as the final scene.

kevinoneil-99062 Blown away by any expectation I could have for this film. It really delivered a lot of different emotions in it's story. Great to see a film where the book and movie go so well together. With fantastic characters and story Odd Thomas easily fits it's way into my list of favorite movies.

Raymond Sternadel I can't believe how cringey this movie turned out being. It honestly surprised me. From start to finish it is filled with cheese and cringe. It tries to be serious and/or clever and falls short constantly. I wouldn't be surprised if the director had a team of teenagers on standby that he was consulting and pulling ideas from throughout the filming of this. The best thing about the movie is Addison Timlin in her underwear. Serious kudos for that outfit choice.
