This is a good movie, twisted, but a good movie. The only down side, to this movie, is Melanie Griffith playing the mother. You have a comedic actress, playing in a dramatic actress roll; it doesn't work! Melanie Griffith is not a dramatic actress; she isn't good enough to do that!!! On the other hand, the rest of the cast brings the film home. This is a good movie with a character, luckily, that doesn't stay long. Other than that, this is a good movie and I would recommend it.

MCT:March 21, 2008This movie is based on an even greater book by Vladimir Nabokov. I think this version is pretty close to the book. Anyway, I absolutely love this movie, it's just so beautiful, and you sympathize with the characters(Humbert) even though you know you shouldn't. Jeremy Irons plays the lovesick Humbert very well, and Swain is very natural as Lolita.
-
MCT:March 7, 2008Jeremy Irons has a perplexing sexuality that is actually quite disturbing. A very different view than the original with it's own pros and cons. Not much better of worse than the original, but probably more memorable.

Jeremy Irons must have worked his ass off to adequately sidestep Mason. Worth it for him alone, with Langella as a sort of bonus.

Adrian Lyne's spin on the story of Humbert Humbert and Lolita is captivating and the actors/actresses flesh their characters out well...

Jeremy Irons plays a good creep. I think this captures the book better than the one with Peter Sellers, but is that necessarily a good thing? icky.

This movie is soo much like the book it is not even funny. The casting "eh" If you ever need to do a book report on this book, you can just watch this movie.

Not half as bad as the name and subject make you think. Topic is rather uneasy for some, but the story is quite touching nonetheless.
-
MCT:June 9, 2007Another classic I'm not sure any director could bring to the screen faithfully but this wasn't too bad.

i liked the book much better. though the movie is still good and worth a watch. my problem was with dominique swain's portrayal of lolita. she was too oversexed really. while lolita was more subtle in the book. i prefer subtle. but to be fair its a hard book to top.

Jeremy Irons amplifies the creepy factor to play a pedophile. Good for one viewing, if it doesn't disgust you first.
-
MCT:May 12, 2007Perverse. Disgusting. Can't come close to the rather brilliant book! Nabokov doesn't make it out to be like that! Frankly, It's shit aswell!

Definitely reigns supreme over Kubrick's original. Dominique Swain, who portrays the role of Lolita this time around, delivers a flawless, seductive performance.

I'm ashamed to say this, but this film is actually pretty interesting. It's a little hard to watch (I mean it is about a grown man who is sleeping with a teenaged girl) but other than that, yeah it's pretty riveting.

Phenomenal remake of the french original. One of those movies that will make you feel uncomfortable... definitely worth watching though.

An excellent film. Sad,subtle,beautiful... Heart-aching love story, which can't ever have had a happy end.
Dominique Swain is goddess as Lolita."She was musical and apple-sweet ... Lola the bobby-soxer, devouring her immemorial fruit, singing through its juice ... and every movement she made, every shuffle and ripple, helped me to conceal and to improve the secret system of tactile correspondence between beast and beauty--between my gagged, bursting beast and the beauty of her dimpled body in its innocent cotton frock. -

Lolita directed by Adrian Lyne has a simple narrative to follow. Dominique Swain proves her acting ability in this film in her portrayal of the character nicknamed 'Lo'. However, she did not look tha age of what she was supposed to be playing enough. Jeremy Irons' acting was good too. The film in places does tend to drag since it is a fairly slow-paced film but the storyline is interesting. One to watch.

This movie is quite crap-it is obviously based on the Heavily censored American version of the Book-If you read the book you will note that the GIRL seduces the MAN.And in the English version shes 12 not 14 like in this.Wether a 37yo sleeps with a 12yo or a 14yo its still wrong!Americans are fucked!.Jeremy Irons hated this Film so much he wants to remake it in England.Plus Dominique Swan looks about 20 not 12.
