Movies I watched because of an Actor

I mainly watched this movie because Orlando Bloom made an appearance there. Beyond that, I was surprised by the quality of the movie, the beauty and greatness of it. For anyone who enjoy good battle, gore and realistic: wathc this! Good drama and action is in order.

Yes, this is a Terrence Malick film. I am not into them, actually. The point of the film is more in the personal journey of the men in war, their dilemmas, struggles, and lives. It is touching at times, beautiful to look at, but the film is far too long for my tastes, as it cannot really grasp me at any point. It is as if the space is great, but there is too little to fill it with.

If I usually don't like horror movies - at all - this one was clever enough to entertain even me. Perhaps it wasn't too spooky... And naturally, great piece of work from Jared Leto.

Even if this movie really held nothing I like (except Jared Leto in his amazing role), it was still very entertaining. Rather than showing journeys of several people, it was as if seeing a snippet here and there. Due to many characters, there wasn't really time to get to know any of them properly. That perhaps was the point: a vague idea of everything.

I didn't expect much when I began to watch this movie. I have heard Jared Leto's (who plays Chapman) various comments, and that is what I basically wanted to see: a failure of humanity. The movie wasn't perhaps very insightful or emotion-wrenching, but it had a certain allure in it. If nothing else, it is in a way very human. Not too deep, and portraying the maddness in it just fine.

Watch before you start boycotting it. This is not a documentary, nor a tribute to anyone, but a little intake to the madness living in all of us.

I swore for years I would never watch a single Rocky movie: they're not my type, and I could not dislike Stallone any more than I do.

But, well, since I got interested about Milo Ventimiglia, I could no longer avoid this final part of the series. The others I won't bother to look.

To my surprise, the movie was rather good. The growth of the plot was predictable, there was nothing surprising there - and then again, Stallone's performance was rather good. Like a man who has been hit in the head one too many times, but who still cares. The relationship between father and son (Stallone/Ventimiglia) grew from ragged to whole. The change was perhaps a little too swift, but then again that was not the point the movie makers wanted to highlight.

The big fight in the end, which was the goal of the whole movie, wasn't something spectacular. Realistic, yes, but that's about it. Once you've seen something like that, you've seen them all.

The single star comes from Johnny Depp being in the movie. That's it. Without him, I wouldn't have watched this to the end. I didn't find a proper plot, the hazy, drugged images were so annoying... Oh, well, perhaps I should watch this again, just to be sure I got it right on the first time ;)

This movie surprised me positively, as much as people have praised it. It might get full five stars-rating had they left Jared Leto's short shot in there, but what can you do ;) (Nah, just joking.)

First of all, magnificent acting from Colin Farrell! His accent and style of speking were the first thing to drag my attention: he sounds nothing but the rough Irish guy we have been used to. He shows a range of emotions, too, and being in the eye of the camera almost thorough the movie must have been hard. He does it with style, though, never getting boring, never repeating himself.

The movie flows nicely, is detailed and very human in all aspects. Watch it if you can - though the end is a bit too expected. Oh well, that's only human, too.

Despite that Colin Farrell's role as Alec is not big in this movie, it is still a rather nice watch. More time could be dedicated to the characters, though: they were not introduced well, and in the constant rain of names and flashes from different timelines, I at least got a bit confused. If you do not pay attention to that, then the movie is pretty enjoyable. Not outrageously funny or amazing, but one worth waching.

Even if they have Colin in the "leading role", he isn't that much of the centre of attention. It really doesn't matter, however.

The movie is funny, and has some nice turns of events. Not all of them are original (what is, these days?) and end up pretty predictable , but they do their job.

It is also fascinating to see how the lives of so many people get all tangled together - and how they survive the outcome. The world is small... Each character is given enough space, in my opinion, in this hurried train of events and scenes.

A good watch, gets some good laughs from you, but not a movie that really would make you think or feel for real.

A war movie that transformed into a law-movie - and later, into some kind of drama. The beginning was good, but by the end of the movie I grew to be a little disappointed.

The characters were seemingly given depth - and no depth at all.

All in all it is a pretty good movie, but everything was as if "half-way done".

And Colin Farrell definitely starred this one - Bruce Willis' character was pretty "macho" all the time, but never really proved himself. As if he had no reason to (so, he didn't convince me).

Quite a usual action-flick. Not much depth to be found, the fighting scenes work in the favor of the hero (it is amazing how much beating a human body can take before going down), and all in all there aren?t too many twists on the way from beginning to end.

How romance was worked into this movie was ridiculously obvious, and so cliché it isn?t even sweet or surprising ? just dull and boring, not to mention unnecessary.

Wesley Snipes works well in his role, but then again, it is exactly the same act any seasoned action movie actor could pull off. It isn?t his fault, though: the movie just doesn?t have anything special to give.

All in all, the movie is worth one watch and enjoyable during that time for sure. Were the movie longer, though, then we might actually have a problem in our hands. :D

Almost a dream like implementation, which somehow suits the movie. Thrilling, scary (well, one could work on the visual side, but let's allow it to slide, for now), humorous and intriguing. Johnny Depp is his charming self, carrying the movie on with ease. Things unfold nicely, but not too easily, and not hastily, either.

A dialogue-filled, steady movie.

There's often depth in the discussions, and other than that, some very clever, ironic, fun things said by Larry (Spacey). The topics slide together smoothly, one after another, which is the appeal of this movie I think.

All in all, though, the matters of religion that were pushed in by the end of the movie didn't really appeal to me, and the movie in itself is about the connection/reactions between three men - and that's pretty much all there is to the plot.

A good watch, good acting, but not really my type of movie all in all.

I watched this film purely, because Nick Lea was in it, and I hoped the story would be greater than the back-cover promised. Well, the piece was entertaining enough, but nothing worth of applauses. Nothing surprising, really.

A weird, strange, odd movie as only Johnny Depp can make it. (I now can see where the chicken performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is coming from *laughs*)

Anyway, if there was any plot in this surreal movie, I totally missed it. By the end of the movie I began to hope there would be something in there, but... not really.

The characters just sail through the movie without making much sense.
