Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

alma_halliwell We spend our lives scared of dying and growing old but in fact we find out at some point that fear of death pushes us forward. It's a wonderfully written story. Although I am not a fan of fantasy elements but since it shares a great point I enjoyed every single moment of the movie. I began watching it a year ago and I stopped it after 10 or 15 minutes since I just didn't find it interesting. However today it was intriguing and not at all boring which just proves me once again that we have to be in a certain state of mind to enjoy some movies. It reminded me a bit of Benjamin Buttons although it bears no similarity in the plot just the idea - different aging process or lack of it for that matter.

zodiac_algazawi The movie's idea is nice andvery new to me. There are many parts that I liked very much, but there are also many other parts whom were very boring! There was also some parts that were very exaggerated to be used which don't suit the story's events at all.

jleelunden I had to stop watching because the "romance" was so offensive and unrealistic. A man finds our leading lady alone at a party and cracks a terrible joke, the type that only works for handsome leading men, and only in movies. She engages in a brief conversation, but gives him zero indication of interest and soon extricates herself from the situation. Later, after she steps into an elevator, a large hand stops the elevator door from shutting. It is our leading man, of course, and he gets on, and makes a crack about how that'll teach him for putting his hand where it doesn't belong. Ew. She's trapped on an elevator with a man who just made an icky sex joke. She continues to show zero interest. He follows her to her cab, and AGAIN puts his hand somewhere it doesn't belong, this time grabbing the open window to stop the cab and try again to get her phone number. She doesn't give it to him.But lo and behold, he shows up at her job. He's going to donate some valuable books, but not if she won't give him her phone number. WHAAT?? So finally she acquiesces and he takes her on a date. Guess where? To an underground tunnel. This is the point when I turned it off. Because what woman in her right mind would go alone with a man she barely knew, who has been nothing but sexually aggressive AND controlling, into a dark tunnel with no one around? And are we the viewers really supposed to find this romantic?No wonder why so many men appear to be so confused about sexual harassment. Here is a movie where a man sexually harasses a woman who shows no sign of interest, but oops! She was just playing hard to get! Men, this is not how it works in real life. For the record, if you have just met a woman and would like to get to know her, and she has shown no sexual interest in you, probably it is not a good idea to make a joke about putting your hand where it doesn't belong. And all those things that came after that? DON'T DO THOSE THINGS. What a turnoff.

roshanin-81205 I was curious about this film because of its premise: a woman, Adaline, who seems to be immortal.I shall state the good parts first. Most of the visual direction is quite pretty and the soundtrack is rather lovely in places. The cast are very good too given the material they have to work with.However the script and story fall flat on their faces with astounding force. Adaline initially is put across as a bright but not exceptional woman leading a happy life. The rest of the film swings between portraying her as being a genius then to being a hugely irrational doe- eyed fool.STRONGER SPOILERS TO FOLLOWApparently she speaks a good handful of languages fluently but struggles to make the most basic steps researching the cause of her condition. Then she runs away from the governmental agency that want to research her condition. Then she can't figure out that maybe disguising her looks might Improve her choices of not being found. After all this she ends up with a man who's stalkerish behaviour would likely land him in prison. Then her daughter encourages her to get together with him. It's all a bit horrible.I can't say I saw anything romantic in this film. I couldn't see anything of substance whatsoever.ONE PARTICULARLY STRONG SPOILERI have no idea why the writers used this idea but.... I'd feel a lot better pointing this out...if a man follows you into a lift, tries to get in your taxi and then blackmails you by saying he'll give your workplace a huge donation if you go on a date with him, that's not romantic. That's a reason to call the police. And definitely, definitely don't go for a date with him in a dark cave.
