Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreAlthough this movie has a lot of star studded actors in it, the movie is not very good. This movie is based on the book and follows it pretty well and follows the book most of the time. However, they do stick with things from the movie that don't fit well in the movie. For example, in the book, the dialogue is choppy and is somewhat acceptable in the book. However, when seen by two person having an actual conversation, it disrupts the entire flow of the movie and takes away from the actual movie. Also, in the book, there is a major emphasis about the cannibalism and is one of the main points in the book. However, in the movie there is one scene about true cannibalism and it doesn't last long. I would like the part about cannibalism to be longer as it would more action and gives the movie a new and interesting story line. Also the setting in the book is that the entire sky is gray and the sun is covered. Therefore, all life is gone and there is no food available. The book also describes as towns being destroyed and completely being destroyed. However, in the movies the scenes have the appearance of being just used. The buildings don't have the appearance of being destroyed but just used and doesn't give the appearance of being destroyed. Overall this move was very disappointing compared to the book and I was very disappointed. I would give this a 6/10 and that is being generous.
View MoreThe Road is a 2009 American post-apocalyptic drama, based off The Road, a novel written by Cormac McCarthy. The film was directed by John Hillcoat. The man (played by Viggo Mortensen) and the boy (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world as they travel on the road to the southern coast, in hopes of warmth and refugee. The mother of the boy, (played by Charlize Theron), deserted the two years after the apocalypse. Those who read the novel know that cannibalism is a huge element within the storyline of The Road, which I think wasn't emphasized enough. The element of cannibalism was significantly downplayed within the film. The only time cannibalism is truly shown in the film is when the boy and the man enter the basement of a house, and find several nude and starving people who were locked up. It is assumed that these people were being held captive as a food source for their captors. Another aspect that played a huge role within the text but wasn't really incorporated in the text was the setting. After reading The Road and before watching the film, I anticipated the setting of the entire film to be dark, grey, bleak, and full of ash. These aspects play a large role in why the journey south was so treacherous. The film did a poor job of showing a post-apocalyptic world in my opinion. The setting of the movie gave me the impression that the weather was constantly cloudy, and that the establishments such as various buildings, stores, and houses were being poorly maintained. There were no places shown within the film that gave off the feeling of being abandoned or burned down, just ignored. The only aspect of this movie that I really enjoyed was the input of voice overs and narration of some scenes. The use of voice overs helped incorporate the "vibe" given off when reading through the pages of McCarthy's writing. Overall, the film did a poor job of trying to bring Cormac McCarthy's writing to life. There were quintessential aspects of the book that made it so enjoyable were left out. The man and son were unrealistically lucky within the film, to the point where the film became stale.(How can a cold, starving man on the brink of death go diving into a freezing sea and walk out like it was nothing?) The actors' performances were subpar at best. And to top the movie off, the only African American within the film robbed the boy and the man, and then was robbed himself. If I had to rate this movie from 1 through 10, 1 being absolutely a piece of garbage and 10 being the best film I've ever seen, I would give this movie 4. The effort was there, but upon further review, not really.
View MoreCongratz! This shitty movie gets the prize named "The Worst Movie Ever"! boring af
View MoreAbout halfway through the movie I'm hoping the kid dies. He's a whiny, stupid and weak character. You don't grow up in that environment and get to be a weak sauce loser like that kid. And there is alllll that ash everywhere and they don't bother to try to wear masks? WTF nope. Nope nope.
