Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Mr-Fusion Definitely one of those movies you have to see to believe. "Roar" doesn't have much to offer in the plot department (aside from the conservationist message), but it has plenty in the way of unparalleled filmmaking negligence. Just look at that tagline:"No animals were harmed in the making of this film. 70 cast and crew members were."It's hard to watch what happens onscreen because there are no stuntmen. Tippi Hedren really fractured a leg after being thrown from an elephant; Melanie Griffith really needed medical attention after being mauled; Jan de Bont (that guy who made "Die Hard" and "Speed" look so good) really needed extensive stitches after being scalped(!) by a lion. The reactions from the cast are as real as the blood, and you're constantly shaking your head that they'd use wild animals with no training or supervision. They're apex predators, not pets! The whole thing is incredibly irresponsible, and it lives (warts and all) on film. It's amusing that they try to lighten things up with a playful score and a happy ending. But this is not family film; it's downright chilling.7/10

sarine voltage Wow. This is by far one of the coolest--if not the coolest--flicks I have ever seen (and I've seen it 3 times so far); definitely one-of-a-kind, there are no others in its class to even liken it to.If labels are to be given, I believe "adventure" would be the most appropriate classification. I don't know who put "horror" up there in the listing, I'd sooner list it under "family" than "horror"; they may have been confused by some reports of what transpired during the filming of this movie, but those reports should not be confused with what happens in the movie itself.Set in the wild jungles of Africa, the left-of-center storyline is original and most unique (strokes to Noel Marshall for that). The filming is nothing short of awesome, the shots of merely the scenery are spectacular, and capturing on film the animals in action (including the humans) makes for some seriously breathtaking visuals. Tippi, Melanie, John, Jerry, you totally rock--thank you and thanks to everyone involved in the making of "Roar" for enduring and seeing it through to the end so we can all now enjoy it.I highly recommend seeing "Roar" at least one time; if you're a lover of the feline, perhaps 9 times would do. Me-ow.

Seth_Rogue_One Labelled one of the most dangerous film-shoots of all time, with real lion on human attacks still in the film.70 cast and crew members were hurt during filming to several degrees, some were close to death but luckily no one did die.I was amazed by the sheer numbers of lions in the movie, it's well over 50 they have the lions live up close and personal with the lead played by Noah Marshall with seemingly little to no fear for his safety. The numbers of lions decrease slightly when Melanie Griffith and Tippi Hedren etc comes into the movie (probably because of the many attacks) but they are still far from being safe (Melanie Griffith required 50 stitches and plastic surgery and Tippi Hedren required 34 stitches from being bitten by lions in the film).As far as the story goes well, the lions who were untrained improvises a lot to say the least and the cast have to act off of what they do but there is a plot for sure in the film it just get put to the side at times.It's a once in a lifetime movie experience, so it's definitely recommendable for that reason alone but it also helps that it is very entertaining and the lions are beautiful.

Michael_Elliott Roar (1981) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Hank (Noel Marshall) is living in Africa where everyone thinks he's crazy because he allows lions, tigers, leopards and other wild animals to roam through his house. Soon his wife (Tippi Hedren), daughter (Melanie Griffith) and two sons come to visit but he's not home so the family must try to survive these animals.ROAR was released in 1981 without too much media attention but when it came time to re-release the movie in 2015 it seems everyone wanted to know more about the most dangerous movie ever filmed. You can Google various articles about all the destruction that happened behind-the-scenes during the making of this movie. Countless cast and crew members were severely injured. Several animals were killed in a flood. The film took years to complete, went way over budget and of course didn't make any of its money back.It's really hard to judge this film for many reasons. For starters, if you didn't know anything about the history of this movie and just watched it then you'd probably see it for all the warts. In all honesty there's really no plot to be found and the performances certainly aren't anything great. The direction, well there really isn't any because how to you get a lion to do what you want? It seems like the camera was just set up and they would hope to capture something. Obviously there's just nothing here that scream "great" or "good" movie.With that said, if you do know the history of the movie then there's no question that you'll be biting your nails because you're just waiting for something bad to happen. There are several times throughout the movie where you can tell that the actors are in sheer terror of not knowing what the wild animals are going to do. These scenes do contain some real suspense but it's not from great filmmaking but instead from knowing that these actors are really in danger. Plus you can't help but watch this film and wonder what in the world the filmmakers were thinking by putting their family in harm's way.ROAR is certainly a film that needs to be viewed. There's no doubt that being able to see so many wild animals is quite great. Is the film good? Not really but it's certainly entertaining.
