Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

lisamba This movie is all about a lady being rude to shipmates and then getting shipwrecked on an island and the man being abusive physically and verbally. Nothing funny about this movie at all! A very bad Script. It could have been funny because I have seen shipwreck movies and shows. I think they should have watched a Gillian's Island and maybe they could have gotten some good ideas how to be funny. People criticize the acting but it is the script that is the root of the problem of the whole movie.

alsgurwkd222 It was not like any other Guy Ritchie movies, or even not like normal movies. It was more like porno made by some Japanese male chauvinistic perverts. This movie's point was distracted from criticizing capitalism's contradictions, which I guess this film wanted to talk about in the first place, by some sex dilemma expressed violently by ignorant sailor-hero. As saying more about the content(because everyone knows their acting was awful), this film's underlying criticism was not gentle, or sharp, but it was just revengeful. there was nothing but I-am-poor-but-happy sailor who wants to rape spoiled rich woman as I sought class in this film desperately. This poor quality of this film may have two excuses: either lack of talent of all staffs of this movie, or fragments of painful life in capitalism society which probably made Guy Ritchie crave vendetta by making this unhappy movie or by another way. I don't know what's to blame, but this movie is poor for sure.

Wizard-8 I saw the original 1974 Italian "Swept Away" movie when I was a teenager. Though my normal movie tastes at the time were for schlocky B movies, I have to admit that the movie made a big impression on me that stuck for years afterwards. When they announced this remake, I made plans to NOT watch it, considering how bad most remakes are and the fact that Madonna was going to star in it.But recently, this remake played on TV, and I decided to record and watch it, since I would not have to pay to see it. I just finished watching it a few minutes ago. What did I think? Well, I'll give the remake this: It's a good LOOKING movie. Colors are bright and vibrant thanks to the professional photography. And I will say that the acting on display is acceptable; even Madonna gives an okay performance.But ultimately, the movie fails in its intentions. There are some annoying montage/music video like segments that when they pop up really seem out of place for what should be a story about a close examination of two very different people. Another problem is that while the movie is about 25 percent shorter than the original, it feels a lot more drawn out than the original. The biggest problem with this remake is that it is lacking the original's bite. It feels for the most part very soft and bland when the original was angrier and more biting.In short, this is yet another unnecessary and unsuccessful remake. Even if you are a youth that turns your nose towards art and foreign movies, I would strongly suggest you all the same seek out the original Italian movie instead of this Hollywood remake.

shannonwhitten It was a good story. I actually let go of the fact that it starred Madonna. Who cares, she's cute and makes a good bitch. But its the scene and story that I liked. It was not predictable, it did not take place in NY or la, so that right there won my time. It makes you realize the beauty that being grounded has to offer. Some reviews on here stated viewers watched 10 - 30 minutes. Well, u have to give this one a little more time. Its not bad, a good chick flick to watch without hubby. Viewers here did not get the fact that they lost each other due to the husband knowing and interfering. Thats why it was sad. Its like these people gave up and didn't even watch the end.... Hello, if your confused, don't blame Ritchie, rewind it.
