Great Expectations es una pelicula que nos promete a un director extremadamente talentoso, Alfonso Cuaron es uno de mis directores favoritos, en esta pelicula la verdad no creo que la historia este al nivel de AC, pero el brinda una direccion muy solida y una muy amplia coneccion con la camara, tiene una muy buena foto, que es gracias a la colaboracion con Emmanuel Lubezky (Cuaron + Lubezky = magic) la pelicula parece como si fuera de distintos generos segun va cambiando la pelicula, lo cual para mi le da puntos extras a Alfonso. Las actuaciones estan bien pero ninguna de la cual me recuerde al pasar los dias. ohhh! gran cast el del niņo que hace el personaje de Ethan Hawke, al inicio de la pelicula, la de Gwyneth, mmm, no tanto!.-

MCT:July 16, 2008While its obviously very different from the book, being set in modern time and all, its still such a great adaptation of it! So lovely and absolutley gorgeous with some very good acting. And Gwyneth is so gorgeous in it! (But when is she NOT gorgeous!? Ah, I love her.)

MCT:June 22, 2008Crap. Can't remember anything about the movie except I watched it. Ok, marking 'want to see it'...

MCT:June 22, 2008Excellent movie, didn't follow the book really but I still enjoyed it. It was just a little different take on it.

MCT:June 6, 2008Gyneth Paltrow 10 years ago. Wow! Hot, seductive, perfect performance. Anne Bancroft fantastic, flawless performance. Robert Deniro great. Chris Cooper perfectly cast. Ethan Hawke narrates and stars and give a very good performance with a veteran cast. Music great, scenary breathtaking, graphics fantastic. Great remake of a classic love story.
Highly recommended! -

This is a movie for the hopeless romantic. And, even if you're not a hopeless romantic - like me - you will enjoy it. It doesn't follow strictly the book, but Cuaron knows how to transport the magic and essence of the story to our time. This movie introduced me to Cuaron's work and I fell in love with it. Everything here is perfect: characters, acting, music, clothes... all of it is part of a big picture, even more powerful than Finn's own art.

Such a beautiful, yet totally different, adaptation of the classic book. So stunning and gorgeous and romantic! I absolutley love it to pieces.

I love this movie. First off, the story was just awesome. Next off, though I can't really explain why, I just love the whole visual "feel" of the film. Lastly, my hat goes to Ethan Hawke and Gwyenth Paltrow, not for the chemistry, but for such awesome performances. The both of them literally breathes life into the film.

I like the cinematography in this movie, but mostly I just enjoy the love story. There are certain parts that I'm sure are not in Dickens' novel (too racy). Every time I watch it I bawl, so in that respect it's a winner in my opinion.
-
MCT:April 7, 2008Didn't find this that good. Again alot of talk that wasn't that interesting I think this was thrown together to make a buck. Again if you like looking at Ethan than go for it. Believe me your not missing anything.

Primero que nada.. por que alguien la clasificaria como R que en Mexico seria algo como C... esta pelicula tiene de R lo que el Santo contra las momias.
En fin no se si como el titulo me cree demaciadas grandes esperanzas.. pero algo entre las acartonadas acutaciones de Hawke y Paltrow, la musica poco convincente.. los dialogos con poca fluides, simplemente no me convencio.
Sin duda lo mas rescatable de la pelicula es la fotografia del Chivo Lubezki con sus colores verdes ya antes empleados en "La Princesita"
Al final no sabes si odiar a Estella por hacer sufrir asi a Flinn, a este por dejado, a Cuaron por la adaptacion del final o a Dickens por dejar que Flinn perdonara a Estela.
Los 25 pesos de la renta valieron la pena solo por ver a la venerable Anne Bancroft siempre impresionante y encantadora!

This is such a sweet, charming, romantic film and I enjoyed it greatly. Ethan Hawke is superb in the lead, and everyone around him is very good too. Cuaron's direction, although iffy at times, is solid overall and provides the film with a sleek modern feel.
-
MCT:January 15, 2008I know it's Cuaron, I know it's Ethan Hawke, I know it's Gwyneth Paltrow and I know it's "El Chivo" Lubezki... but there's something about it that just doesn't appeal to me.

Alfonso Cuaron shows his talent. Amazing score by Patrick Doyle, who bounced back from leukemia that year.

Boring!!! I hasten to criticise since it's the work of the masterful Alfonso Cuaron, but it's just not a good film!
