SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
paindweller So I wanted to review this because it was a hard one to review. I watched it and there were a handful of really funny moments and yet it was lacking in emotion so much that it had so much potential yet fell so short. Each character as hard as I tried to feel some fort of connection to them I simply couldn't. It's the sort of movie that I continued watching waiting to see what would happen next. Lovely scenery about sums it. The acting was as the script was meant to be I'm guessing...I don't know what the secret ingredient that it was missing but whatever it is really caused this one to flop when it shouldn't have.
nathanfjohnson I've been a fan of all of Taika Waititi's films for a while now, so when I prepared myself to watch this film I had very high expectations. I was not let down. This movie is amazing, from beautiful scenery and authentic sets, I was totally drawn in. The mood established thought the film is on a level of comedy so hilarious and so balanced with the overal theme that I can hardly handle it. The casting is perfect and all the characters seemed written just for the people portraying them. I love everything about this movie and can't recommend it enough.
morrismatalon I just saw "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" (2016) and it was absolutely wonderful. All the performances were good. I didn't hate the kid and Sam Neil was very good as Hector. There was a very believable bond between Ricky and Hector, and when they had the "get mad at each other and leave" scene, it didn't feel forced (partly because of the subject matter) and I loved that it didn't go on for too long. All the cinematography was fantastic. It was very funny and I love the kind of dark sense of humor that the movie had. I think this had a great soundtrack! and it's not just great songs that already existed and wasn't composed for the movie (though there was a lot in there), also the composed music is really good. It gives off a very mysterious feeling. All the characters were very likable, and not stereotypes (except "psycho sam"), and it was great. I wouldn't give it a 10/10 like some people are, because it has some problems. There was some stereotypes in the movie, (An example being "psycho sam" being the conspiracy theorist stereotype) I think there should have been some more time devoted to the relationship between Ricky and Bella, and I think the plot was kinda predictable. But, I still think this movie was very fun and enjoyable, and I'll definitly recommend it. i give this a 8/10
trashgang This is fun to see, it has an overall Disney atmosphere, you know, rebel kid coming to foster parents, the woman loves him, the man hates him, woman dies, and off they go, man and kid for an adventure.The brutality people talking about is when animals are involved. They are killed in a savage way. I guess that youngster could even watch this because it all works out fine towards the end. Siometimes it goes a bit over the top with the army involved.Also some nice shots of the bush in New zealand. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
