Has anyone seen this Movie and should I waste my time on it?

I thought it would be a lot better than it was; it had so much potential. It isn't a suspense thriller by any stretch, it moves really slow and quiet (kinda similar to "The Good Girl"). You randomly see the husband and wife getting it on and you have no clue why; I didn't feel the connection between the two. My boyfriend was disappointed as well; its not just a gender thing. If you really want to see it wait til your local video store either has a special or it goes in the dollar bin.

Although the movie is not *awful*, it is not as good as the book. You should probably see it, but wait until it comes out in the cheapie theatres- don't spend a fortune.\n\nThe movie superficially skips over the first 2/3 of the book. I felt sorry for my friend who went to see it with me (she didn't read the book), because I was worried that she would be "lost" or that she wouldn't like the story the way that I did, because the movie didn't spend enough time illuminating the personalities of the characters, their relationships with eachother, and their motivations- the first 2/3 of the whole production seemed very shallow. \n\nThe leading (adult) actress was weak for the part. The child actress for Chiyo/Sayuri was quite good for the part. I wished that they would have just put  her on stilts as the adult lead left much to be desired. \n\nThe most endearing part of the book to me was Chiyo/Sayuri's voice in the first person. In the movie, she narrated a few lines, but that was it. The movie did not have C/S's soul the way the book did.\n\nThere were a few little irritating things about the movie, one example being that the difference between geisha and prostitutes was not even examined until well past the first hour mark.\n\nThe movie was mostly faithful to the book, overall, as faithful as it probably could have been regarding the way events happened.. except for the "selling scene" at the beginning. It's a 2.5 hour movie. It would have had to have been excruciatingly long to have explained everything the way the book did.\n\nMy friend, by the way, enjoyed it somewhat, but expects to like the book better. Even to her, it seemed a bit shallow.

What gets me is a look up what ATL is about and 2 minutes later, I've totally forgotten what the movie is about.  I would list it as the worst title ever for a movie.

OK I actually saw a pre-screening of the film last night and let me tell you it is BAD. It is long and very boring, there are two action scenes in it and they last about 5 minutes each and even then they are not all that interesting, for the 2 hours and 30 plus minutes that the film is you would think that it could be a little more interesting. Most of the movie is getting re acquainted and crap like that it is slow and stupid it will not live up to the hype and that I can guarantee. I don't recommend this one at all.

not personally, but my parents & younger bros & sisters were on vacation last week and saw it on tv at their condo. they found it extremely humorous. i'd like to watch it, on their recommendations, but first i was thinking i'd try to compile a list of the movies that it spoofs and watch those beforehand. i think that would heighten the appreciation of the movie.

This movie was incredible. It definitely was not enjoyable...it was very hard to watch. But I thought they did an amazing job with the movie. It was supposed to be hard to watch. That was the point. \n\nAdrian Brody was amazing...and I dont even care for him that much. He made me forget that it was him. I just wanted to hug his character all through that tormenting movie. Unbelievable.

Go watch the movie. It's only about 2 hours of your life. Let me guess, you have this for a school report and it is due on Monday and you haven't started.

I did see it - it was just okay, not as good as it could have been. I'll be really honest with you, it's way more of a guy movie with fart jokes, peeing in the shower, vomit scenes, etc. Larry had a few good jokes but he didn't get to live up to his full potential. I'd wait & catch it on dvd or ppv at home!! Git R Done!!

I thought it was melodramatic and overrated. The torture scenes lost any impact they may have had by going too far and being too gratuitous. I never knew Jesus invented the dining table and chairs. \n\nI'm not a Christian but if you want to see a movie about Christ that will blow you away I suggest you seem out a copy of Pier Paolo Pasolini's 'Gospel According to Saint Matthew'. It is an awe inspring piece of cinema. An almost entirely unprofessional cast, visually stunning ... wow. Interestingly enough it is regarded by many (including many leaders of the Christian faith) to be THE 'Christ' movie. And considering that Pasolini was an athiest, communist, homosexual I find that hilarious.\n\nI also think that 'The Last Temptation of Christ' is a better portrayal of Christ that 'The Passion of ...' because Jesus is more .... human.

no it bloody isnt-starts promising enough and you think it may be a good film,but it just meanders through and nothing really happens at all-if you want to see a film about war and all its horror try full metal jacket or apocalypse now or platoon-jarhead is a film that will be a waste of a couple of hours of your time-dont do it!!!!

Then DON'T WATCH IT! If you really hate bootleggers that much, support the movie by paying for a ticket. Otherwise, you're just a hypocrite.

Dissapointing - premise had potential i guess but it was so predictable all the way throughout, didnt care about any characters, tying things up didnt always gel.... and the version i watched was labelled "Uncut - different to cinema version" - what was cut ???? Nothing actually happened on camera did it ?? I hate films that treat us, the viewer, as though we are stupid enough to fall for some of there crap !\nInstead of twisting everywhere it would have played better as a straight forward slasher flick, why do they always have to be clever - when Jason whacked heads off in Crystal Lake he just did it cos he was a serial killer... put the scares back and stop coming up with weak excuses why this person killed that person....LOL

I just came back from the theater myself....I was kind of dissapointed, it lacks of the surprise factor of the book and the way the clues a presented in a way that the reader can become part of the solving of the riddle, on the contrary, on the film, the  \nriddles are solved in a very obvioud way it seems unreal..it is an average film but surely it will become a big blockbuster due alll the buzz it has generated.

I thought it was an OK movie.  It was cute, humorous, quirky in some parts.  It has a deeper meaning though, in my opinion.\nWe're always trying to fast forward through life, without savoring each moment we DO have with our loved ones.  He was lucky, he got a second chance.....because it was a dream.\nWe don't.  So don't waste your lives focusing & worrying about work, etc!!!  There's SO much more!!!

Saw just the opening of the show. The celebrity cast is seems kinda disappointing and so I haven't watched it ! But I guess you can't expect superstars bearing through all this. 5 hours a week to squander again seems such a waste. Guess I'll watch one episode and decide if it is worth the while.
