Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

delilahdesi I've used IMDB religiously for years but have never written a review till now. I love this movie so much and when I saw that it's average score was only 6.2 I only hope my score can improve the average! This movie really makes one think that the universe and all of us is much bigger than just ourselves, and that all of our actions good and bad have a ripple effect. It's also a very touching love story and you really feel for the main characters in this film. Anyone who has not seen it take a chance you will love this movie.

Mihai Toma Found as a kid in a small boat, raised and trained by a very influential man, Peter spends his time robbing safes and evading the authorities. That is, until one day he meets a beautiful but dying young woman for whom he falls.It's a fantastic movie in which people strongly believe in destiny, that each person has one and he/she cannot die unless it is fulfilled. After death, people become stars and live together with their loved ones in the universe. It's dramatic and sad in its core but impresses through it's fantastic world which slowly unveils. It's a captivating atmosphere which keeps you interested throughout its entirety, but it has many moments of boredom. Also, the story is good and pretty coherent, but isn't very satisfying, a little more work regarding it could have made a lot better. Still, it's a good movie overall.

Filipe Neto I'm another person who saw the movie and did not read the book or never heard of it. In fact, I don't even know if it was translated to my mother tongue. But I liked the movie. He has an implicit idea that love is a magical feeling that overcomes barriers. We can find it in literature and almost all poetry, where impossible lovers abound, with more or less tragic consequences. So the idea of ​​this film is not new, but almost always works well in movies. Therefore, I think the script is good, although its far from being brilliant.The major flaw of the script is that those, who don't know anything about the movie and start watching it, will thing, in the first minutes, which is seeing a period drama. These audiences will feel very confused at the sudden revelation of fantastic elements, something that they probably would not be waiting because the film was not immediately clear about that. I felt it the first time I saw, and I just really enjoyed it in the second time I saw it.The main roles are embodied by Colin Farrell (as the good guy, Peter Lake), Jessica Brown Findlay (in the role of the young, rich and sick Beverly Penn) and Russell Crowe (as the evil Perly Soames). Will Smith also makes a small but important role, as the Judge, in a clear reference to the Devil. About the actors work, I think it was regular. The biggest applause goes to Crowe, who did a convincing job as a villain. Jessica Findlay never seemed me passionate enough, her character is almost as cold as the ice of winter scenery. She looked like a rich girl who want to escape her gilded cage and enjoy an adventure. Farrell, in turn, despite seemed more passionate, failed in interpretation. It seemed too kind to be a thief in search of redemption through love, and his acting was theatrical and inauthentic.Anyway, the film is quite reasonable. Far from brilliance, it entertains the audience and bring us a beautiful love story in a fantasy film that, in a counter to gender itself, dispenses with most of the special effects to privilege the story. Not everything is good in this movie, but it's not necessarily a bad film.

matthiaspaschke ... but they didn't bring it up in the movie! This movie lacks background telling. The relationship between Peter Lake and his mentor had to be more described (10 minutes should be enough). The game of good and evil and its protagonists had to be more described in detail. A - simple - further boost in story telling would be achieved by adding some more scenes with Will Smith at the beginning and the end of the movie. Another rule for good movies: Don't waste many good well known actors (John Hurt and Graham Green) as side kicks with too few movie scenes - summing up only to merely seconds or some minutes of movie time. Don't construct one and a half love stories. The half one is by far too much.
