Welcome to Marwen

One of the most depressing movies ever made. Sad story, wooden acting. Implausible plot.

🍀 4.1/10 Robert Zemeckis tried to make a snoopy film but then forgot he was a dog. I can't tell if this is creepy or cute. I actually found this very enjoyable at times but it's just kinda odd but not in a good way. I should probably go watch the documentary cause I've heard it's better and this guy is very interesting. Grade C

I can't believe it has taken Robert Zemekis 5 shots at Live Capture CGI to discover that he's better off at Live Action. Cast Away and Forrest Gump are classics while (prior CGI efforts) Polar Express and Beowolf are CGI disasters. And with 5 attempts he still doesn't address the main issues of Live Capture CGI which is dead eyes, blank unlifelike faces, and dialogue not matching the mouth movements. How do you not improve after 5 attempts? The stories are interesting but you can't get by the CGI drawbacks. Disney got it right by severing future films with Zemekis.

i LOVE Steve Carrell and this was a really unique movie

I was intrigued and fascinated by the majority of the film. Welcome to Marwen shows the heartbreaking and devastating trials that someone with PTSD faces every day. I loved being transported to Mark's world of Marwen and being able to see what he sees and feel what he feels. I was able to take part in his escape from reality and I relished every moment spent with Hogie. Unfortunately, every plot point involving a romantic interest was off putting and distracting. The source material and inspiration was there, the screenwriters just needed to focus on Mark's relationship with Hogie rather than his relationship with Nicol, Roberta and even Deja.

I love this movie so much. As for amateur me - all actors are masters. But Steve is collecting a special team surrounding him. He became my very favourite actor while I started to watch almost all movies with him. You don't need to be a captain to understand Mark. Some people's lifes are like the war: you work hard, you do your best and then you realise that some bad powers were rulling your fate to make her say "no" to you, to make you forget that you are a real captain of your life, to make you forget that you deserve love. Never forget this and with help of God we will fight any evil. This movie made me cry hot, genuine tears. I feel you, guys!

Well, that was certainly odd and more than a little unsettling. Welcome to Marwen, directed by Robert Zemeckis, is the story of Mark Hogancamp (Steve Carell), an artist who finds himself trying to piece together his life after being brutally attacked in a bar. After creating a miniature village populated by dolls resembling people in his life, he alternates between reality and fantasy to escape the horror he has experienced. Carell is solid in the lead role, the story, based on real events, is fascinating, and the special effects are interesting, but things begin to wear thin around the mid-way point as the movie seems to lose focus and the weirdness of Hogancamp's alternate universe becomes a tad overwhelming. Welcome to Marwen is a marginal failure, but always intriguing.

It has a good story, it is heart warming and all, but there are some awkward moments, like that doll kiss, and all of that doll dying drama and stuff. Anyway, it was a nice movie, and I liked it I guess.

I enjoyed this one overall and the story it told and how he overcame the tragedy he went through. I also enjoyed how this brought GI Joe to the big screen with its cast of characters which I found out at the end was based on a true story.

Boring but it's so great to watch
