Surprisingly incoherent and boring

One of my all time favorites.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Movie Review: "Fire Walk With Me" (1992)Director David Lynch sticks to the moment with a "Twin Peaks" prequel story a seemingly fair young teenage girl Laura Palmer, with no further convictions portrayed by actress Sheryl Lee, who nevertheless lets all the supports including father playing Ray Wise and close-to-no-friend Madchen Amick as waitress of the sleepy hollow state of existence within the village of "Twin Peaks" where then business and murder becomes the talk of the town, when deeper undergrounds to prostitution, lying betrayal, adultery, cheating law defying citizen are the real cause of well-researched as society-exposing U.S. village's decline becomes evident to the watchful spectator, who needs to follow instead consume the contents given by the "Twin Peaks" original visual series, starting from 1990.

The television show "Twin Peaks" was one of the most influential show of all time. It was ground breaking. It also broke the rules and sometimes that worked against the show. In the original show of "Twin Peaks" a FBI agent Dale Cooper comes to the small town of "Twin Peaks" to investigate the death of Laura Palmer. As we follow Cooper we see everything on the surface is just that "surface". What is behind closed doors at any residence is what drove the mystery. When the show ended the fans were left with a cliffhanger. A year later when this film was released we were hoping that the cliffhanger would be resolved but it wasn't. Instead we get the last week of Laura life and we slowly see her life was a nightmare. We see her demise of not only physical but also spiritual. A life so out of control tragedy was sure to come.Keep in mind this is an R RATED film. This is not a feature length television episode. The ugly side of life was only hinted at in the television show. In this film we see the "Ugly Truth" The film might not be for everyone but it is one of the best films of 1992. The plot the film is that the folksy town of Deerfield, Wash., FBI Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the similarly cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Lara Palmer (Sheryl Lee) seems destined for a grisly fate.Please watch this after you have seen the entire television show. this is a prequel!

This is one of David Lynch's finest films. Considering the popularity of the This is one of David Lynch's finest films. Considering the popularity of the "Twin Peaks" TV series, this would seem a hard act to follow. As usual, Lynch doesn't fail to intrigue and push the envelope even further. The film does pander to those who wanted to see the last seven days of Laura Palmer's life, but it also sets many subplots in motion which were hinted at during the series. "Fire Walk With Me" is much, much darker than the series in terms of style, direction, plot, acting, humour and cinematography, and in many ways stands independently of the series. The beauty is that one does not need the other. They are both memorable in their own ways, similar in some but extremely different in others.This film works most efficiently if you have seen both seasons of the "Twin Peaks" series, as it's power resides in the inevitability of Laura's demise (this is not to say it is by the numbers and there are no surprises in store) and images from the later episodes of the series (which, yes, occur a long time later chronologically). It is considerably darker, however, than the series with the humor more or less restricted to the opening half hour, which sets up the entire "Twin Peaks" story, but once Laura Palmer is introduced, the story is (appropriately, to say the least) extremely dark and void of the light tone which characterized the television series. It is, like much of David Lynch's canon, a film that will surprise you and find beauty and truth in the strangest images and places. As long as you are aware of Lynch's earlier work (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Dune or The Elephant Man), the darker scenes/moments should not come as too much of a surprise. If you expect more of the TV series, you will, I'm afraid, be disappointed. But with an open mind, you will enjoy this film on it's own, strong merits.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.

Twin Peaks has long since been at the top of my list of shows to watch if given the opportunity. And when that opportunity arose, I was very impressed with what I saw. The bizarre mix of humour and surrealism makes for one of the best and most underrated TV shows I've ever had the privilege to watch. I'd heard the film wasn't the best, but I've enjoyed a lot of films that have received harsh criticism, and I expected this one to be another one of those.The first half an hour of this film was exactly what I was hoping for in this film. Even with his drastically reduced role, Kyle MacLachlan still manages to steal the screen for the few scenes he appears. And when he steps on the other side of the camera, David Lynch is always fun to watch as well. Add in a brief appearance by David Bowie to round things off, as well as a few Black Lodge residents, both new and old, and it's quite fun to watch. If the film had continued to be what this first act is, I'd have been impressed. Sadly, that's not the case.The remainder of the film follows Laura Palmer's life before her murder. Sure, it's interesting seeing the events that led to Laura's death, and Sheryl Lee does a great job in the role, but it's all so pointless. The film shows us nothing we hadn't already learned from the series. It's an hour and a half of the same stuff, but somehow presented in a far less interesting way than what the TV show managed to do.While not the worst film I've ever seen, it's possibly the most boring. It doesn't even feel like Twin Peaks. That playful and mysterious tone from the show is gone and replaced with, well, nothing really. It's like it doesn't even have a tone. It's just so dull.I wouldn't say it does anything to detract from the TV series, but it certainly doesn't add anything to it. If you want to see the whole Twin Peaks saga, then go ahead and watch it. Just be warned that your in for quite a boring two hours and fifteen minutes. I can almost guarantee that halfway through the film you'll find yourself pulling out your phone to check Facebook or whatever. This film just doesn't do enough to keep the audience's attention.I was hoping for answers to some of those unresolved plot threads from the TV series, but they certainly aren't here. I don't think a single plot thread from the show gets resolved by this film. Not one.I think what bugs me most though is all the deleted scenes I keep reading about. It seems like this film got the Batman v. Superman treatment. A ridiculously long A+ film was shot, before having all the good bits cut out, leaving us with the lackluster bare bones of what we could have had. Sadly, a lot of the scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor sound like they could have made this movie into the kind of film I could have enjoyed. Instead, we just get two hours of Laura Palmer running around town high on drugs and screaming at shadows.Oh, and if for some reason you've not seen the TV series and you're planning to watch this, don't. While being too much of a rehash of the same old stuff to appeal to fans of the show, it somehow still manages to be too continuity heavy to appeal to new viewers. The whole things really just a boring and pointless mess.Here's hoping the 2017 TV series can do better, because a show like Twin Peaks deserves it.
