Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
user-109-733314 Wost movie ever i have ever seen in my life this movie made me to hate ben stiller
oiltrader Just a few quick points:The movie begins slow, but gathers momentum and becomes a massive snowball at the endAll the actors, small parts and big parts, play their roles to perfectionThe director (Ben Stiller of course) does a great job with the paceThe cinematographer is par excellenceThis movie must be watched at least twice to fully appreciate the work put into it (caveat: after first viewing, give it another 6 months before the second viewing)All in, a great movie about living life, instead of watching it.Peace be with you. You will find some in the 2 hours watching Walter Mitty.
bkoganbing For those who remember the Sam Goldwyn film on The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty you will find this new version nothing like it. Ben Stiller got some laughs in for sure, but his general treatment of the classic James Thurber story is far different than the one that starred Danny Kaye back in the day. Goldwyn and Kaye opted for straight comedy.Stiller's MItty gets a lot of time to daydream, he's got a job keeping all the photographs that Life Magazine has had since it's inception. But new management in the form of Adam Scott is shaking things up as Life will now be strictly an on line publication. Still there's one issue to be gotten out and Stiller has mislaid the negative he was sent from photographer Sean Penn.Penn lives the life going out to exciting and dangerous places to bring back the news photographs for Life that Stiller only dreams about daily. So in that month's time Stiller embarks on a global search for Penn based on some very fragmentary evidence of where Penn is. Penn likes the solitary life in a sense he and Stiller make a complete human being, Penn with the action and Stiller with the purpose that never gets put into action until now.Some performances of note are Shirley MacLaine as Stiller's mother, Kristen Wiig as the object of Stiller's affections that he hasn't the nerve to speak to until recently, and Adam Scott who is definitely representative of the Age of Trump as Stiller's new boss come in for the liquidation of a great institution.Some nice location photography is also part of The Secret Life Of Walter MItty which in the end isn't so secret any more.
Santosh Pati I saw the trailer about 2 months prior to the release. I immediately was intrigued by it, although not much a fan of Ben Stiller but I made sure to watch it. I completely loved the whole experience of seeing Ben portray Walter on the big screen. I had expectations from the trailer and the movie surpassed all of it. Ben Stiller plays the character of Walter Mitty perfectly. His direction and acting makes sure the audience connects with the character , when he day dreams and faces tough choices in life. We will definitely relate to Walter Mitty being an introvert and a wallflower the way the initial story-line is build up. Also, the movie is sprinkled with subtle comic moments and nothing too forced. The cinematography is awesome and out of the world, it is definitely immersive for the audience which will further strengthen the later part of story-line which Walter experiences a change in his personality. All in all watch this movie, you will fall in love with travelling and adventure. It will lighten up your inner desires for wanderlust and will instigate you to pack your bags and go to some unknown place.
