Sorry, this movie sucks
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Want to see something fresh and original, heartwarming but also substantial - this movie is for you. Its director has such a unique tone, and his talent puts New Zealand on the world movie map all over again. Well worth your time, a positive movie, but in a deepest sense there is.
That sums it up. I expected a lot more. It starts off fine, but then evolves into a chase film that they didn't seem to know how or when to end. The main characters are fine, except the boy. They make him bounce back & forth from "wise & sensitive" to obnoxious & obtuse. He goes back & forth. Over & over. It is one of those films where I get to a point & think "This thing has peaked. I should just shut it off now & remember it better for it." I decided to the watch the end, but if you decide to shut it off when they leave Sam, you'll be fine.You know, Bella was probably the best character. And then ... gone.
I honestly did not want this story to end. This is one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. Original, entertaining and deeply heartfelt--prepare for a sucker punch in the feels! Taika's masterful work just gets better with every film. Shout out to every actor in this movie for doing a flawless job.
Such a lovely heartwarming film, highly recommend.The cast is fantastic and all the beats are on point.Looking forward to seeing what the director does with Thor: Ragnarok.This film had me glued from start to finish.Sequel?...
