Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

angiris It is without question the most unbelievably boring excuse for a film I've ever seen... It just keeps on going and going and going towards absolutely nowhere what so ever. I'm not gonna reveal as much as possible but I'll be tell you this much. Everything here is exactly as the description for the movie states. Teen wandering in to town and discovers art forging...TADAAA!!! THATS IT!! They just keep on dragging it out endlessly i an extremely pointless manner that'll literally be able to bore you to death. There is nothing happening here. When I saw the title I expected maybe something like magic or teen action or hell something!! BOY WAS I DISAPPOINTED!. I didn't read the description which I deeply regret but simple based my reason for watching this on the fact that it had an interesting name and a cool action looking poster. Epic fail in my face was what I got. There is no reason to watch this what so ever unless you enjoy the performance of the actors...thats it. You wont learn or simple take the tiniest thing away from this. It should have never been created. THis is a prime example of actors with too much time on their hands and not enough work, simply deciding to cash in on some piece of ...well... I usually don't have a problem with that since the movies of the past where typically watchable. THIS ONE IS NOT! It's so boring, so repetitive, so uninteresting, so pointless, so... without any reasonable concept justifying its very existence. Good god... This alleged writer should be so ashamed of himself. Its outrageously dull. It takes the meaning...the definition even of excruciatingly, mind blowingly, lazy stream lined dull story making to the next level. Stay away from this film. I haven't been specific on all that much of the content but thats because there isn't anything..as I said in the beginning. Teenager, homeless bum...town...art.. taking an interest....TADA!!! ooh yea and starting fights several times , freaking out and annoying everybody! Hutchersons character is profoundly annoying to follow. One of the most annoying and boring protagonists if you were to ask me. He has like the same immature, childish, brash type of behavior as Connor Kenway from Assassin's Creed 3 has and boy did I hate Connor. So cold, boring, pointless and SO NOT A HERO TYPE OF CHARACTER. He was more like an annoying side-kick that the audience can't wait for to die...thats hutchersons character here ..once again if you were to ask me. Filling in more of the blanks will result in a pointless and FAR too long walk-through of something without a freaking soul. Rios must have been on drugs or very drunk when writing this. No inspiration, innovation, imagination. It's a text-book build type of movie with some random main subject. Good guy...bad guy...conflict...helpers...objects... The plot I couldn't see through but thats because the film was literally making me fall asleep. This is my experience with this! my advice....STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. If you like interesting movies this IS YOUR CRYPTONITE! Don't EXPOSE YOUR EYES OR YOUR MEMORY TO THIS GARBAGE. 2 out of 10. Its not the worst thing I've ever seen by far but it definitely makes it within the top 5 under the most boring and pointless section.Ultimate conclusion: Hazardous filthy horrible garbage excuse for a quality film that SO DOESN'T DESERVE A 5.1 that IS HELLBENT ON HURTING YOU! It will scar your mind with its badness! It will engrave its symbols of suckiness on every bit of your body! It will give you nightmares! THIS IS THE PLAGUE. BLACK DEATH FTW. stay the hell away. Don't you this to yourself and watch this dear viewer. Spare your eyes and your mind the pain. We saw this so that we could report to you what it really is SO THAT YOU Don't HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF.

RondoHatton Really well photographed, "High class" music, great scenery, but the bottom line is: It seems like an ABC After School Special!! The synopsis from the DVD kiosk sounded interesting, and I had some hope until Hayden Panetierre made the scene. She didn't damage the film, and the girl is undeniably cute, but plot and believability completely went out the door at that point, and quite frankly, with a crap script like this, not even Hayden Christensen would have done much damage. Regarding Lauren Bacall, there were glimpses of what a smoker she was when she swept Bogart off his feet, but she, Alfred Molina, and Billy Boyd must be hurting financially to have done this. After the Youth Services officer finds Joshua's mother, WTF happened, except for her to call for "a black & white". Total dreck for the junior high school crowd. Make that 13 and under.

Nozz I can understand scrapping the uninformative title CARMEL, and even the extended version CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, but the title THE FORGER fooled me. I expected a focus on the intricate labors of some fascinating criminals. I figured that if the movie is good enough to enlist Lauren Bacall and Alfred Molina, it's got to be good. In fact, though, not so much. The dialogue occasionally goes wooden with exposition or preachiness, Molina's accent isn't completely consistent, in places the characters' behavior isn't easily believable, and although a couple of interesting tricks of the trade are displayed, art forgery is made to look pretty easy, with first-time forgers capable of deceiving the experts. However, I'm criticizing the movie for not being what it wasn't shot to be. From the opening music, camera-work, and text font, you can easily tell that this is a movie meant to play on women's emotions. It's about an adorable homeless boy, an adorable well-groomed girl, an adorable old lady, and a series of misunderstandings that threaten to keep them apart, and as Spielberg has shown elsewhere, if plot offers a good dramatic structure it doesn't need to hang together logically.

Boba_Fett1138 This movie is taking a completely wrong approach to its story. Instead of making things lively, fun or thrilling to watch, it's being for most part a slow moving and very uninteresting movie, that is mostly taking a serious dramatic approach, which does boggle the mind.So many directions this movie could had taken and so much they could had done with its concept but they managed to make the wrong choices, with just about everything. It makes the movie as a whole a really redundant one to watch. The movie isn't ever going anywhere good and interesting with its story and besides doesn't really seem to know what it wants to be or do exactly.There is so much going on in this movie that felt like it was being something completely unnecessary for its story. The whole thing about the boy looking for his mother is going absolutely nowhere and the love-story between him and Hayden Panettiere felt completely unnecessary and as if it was being part of a totally different movie. Different story lines don't get handled or developed properly enough, making this movie feel like a messy and pointless one. Lots of story lines and characters could had so easily been left out and probably also should had been left so, so they movie could had focused more on its main plot line.But what is worse is that this movie is feeling like such a lifeless one. They so easily could had spiced up things a bit more and better at times, to at least make this a somewhat entertaining enough little movie to watch. I won't call the movie boring but I only did wish some more good and interesting stuff would had happened in it at times.It's surprising to see how many big names were involved with this movie but I guess that is what happens when you are friendly with the Eastwood's. Director Lawrence Roeck previously worked on a documentary about Clint Eastwood, which also would explain why his wife and son are in this movie. But also actors such as Alfred Molina and Lauren Bacall were involved. It's especially odd seeing Lauren Bacall in this. I mean, here we have an actress that once starred opposite to Humphrey Bogart, as his love interest, in a whole bunch of movies and now she is doing movies like this? She isn't very active in the business anymore, which makes it all the more weird that she agreed to appear in this particular movie, that in essence looks and feels like a made for TV movie. I do admit that she is still amazing looking though. I'm not just talking about her looks but more so about her vitality. She is an 87-year old woman know but she does look and move around like, let's say, an 65-year old.And I'm also really fed up with seeing Hayden Panettiere doing these sort of roles. I honestly think she is an incredibly talented young actress, that just keeps picking the wrong type of roles, which prevent her from ever truly breaking through as an actress and it's the reason why she is always getting typecast in these type of roles. She's always playing the good, cute, happy. friendly girl, that can't stay mad or sad for 30 seconds. Guess this is an image she likes and feels comfortable with but it isn't going to get her anywhere in the serious movie business.I also did wish that the main character of the movie would had been a more interesting and charismatic one. First of all, Josh Hutcherson doesn't exactly look very convincing as a 15-year old boy but he also isn't being really likable enough. The movie tries hard to make you sympathize for him, by inserting all kinds of dramatic stuff, with almost constantly dramatic music playing in the background. It just doesn't work that way and there really isn't enough to either like- or truly care for the movie its main character.Not a very convincing or good or interesting enough movie to watch.5/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
