Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

jamariana Has an old-school, golden-age-of-cinema charm to it. The protagonist is a good man and the movie is entertaining enough, albeit a bit long. There are also a few loose ends that the movie doesn't adequately tackle, but ultimately I find there is more to like than dislike about the film.

Johnny D I heard about this movie just the other day, my 1st reaction was, "Ow! A Jim Carry movie I haven't yet seen! There should be no such thing." This movie presented the opportunity for romance as Notebook, Serendipity and other such movies that for me are rally stupid, but being a Jim Carry movie, I was still interested as a moth is of light. Romance is undoubtedly one of the main human concerns this movie lays out for it's viewers, at least 5 main ones, not even the most important one. I am not gonna start enumerating them describing about how important and sensitive these subjects are, I'd be boring to most people and it wouldn't do to this piece of art much justice. This is a movie hard to describe for it's quality in words so that one that has not seen it to understand. I can only think about one way. If an alien race would want to know us through 10 books, 10 songs and 10 movies that the human race has ever made as autobiographic, this movie in my humble opinion should be in that top 10. It's strive of describing the complexity and paradoxical form of the human mind and the human feelings is pretty much spot on. I mean, above all the moment in court when the character Jim portrayed decided not to be a coward anymore, just right there on the spot, his hand trembling on the glass while he was still deciding... that for me was the most vivid way of describing how the human race takes big decisions, either they are good or bad in the end, but almost always filled with crippling fear. Either that fear defeats us and we succumb to it or we manage to act against it, against the instinct of self preservation, it's entirely circumstantial, and varies as much from person to person as in the specific moment in that person's life those decisions come; as everyone of us ultimately is in constant change, may it be of maturity or otherwise, not just physical but emotional and psychological too. And by learning this faster and faster with every generation, we grow as a civilization.

John Brooks There are a few distinct, primary issues with this film.The first thing is its attempt to create a sort of modern day fairy tale with an atmosphere bound in high emotion, drama and something of an epic frame, the film being so long over 2hours30min, and quite eventful. The story and chief concept were very interesting, and there is a lot of philosophy and idea in them, but the film never quite takes advantage of the platform it makes for itself and the emotional intensity feels rather constructed than genuine. Towards the end especially, it's just pushed down our throats too much and doesn't feel natural, or credible, and the most essential quality of emotion in cinema is credibility.Another thing about it is its over-the-top political/philosophical message, the whole bit about the legal system; that element seems overdone too, a bit of a sidetrack to the plot, and not necessarily inevitable.There's a taste of unfinished business, mismanaged tension, misused potential for emotion, and good plot elements that do not resolve into the anticipated climax. But it's a fine story, a fairly pleasant film to watch with good values, a certain essential candor, it is quite well played out considering the difficult premise, and then there's Jim Carey always there as the lead to help make any film more believable and endearing.6.5 or 7/10.

craig-340-777546 So few movies tell a story we can relate to in way we have never seen. The Majestic tells the story of the post war era where the country had to rebuild after having lost many lives and spent many resources. In a small town where many of their sons were killed in the war one special one apparently returns. There are many of the baby boomers who can say they remember these story's and heard of the losses of their families. If you ever travel thru small towns in the mid west you will see the history of this. The markers, the graves, the remembrance of it all. The entire cast is amazing, well suited for every part and the ensemble pulls the whole show together. Jim Carey, Martin Landau pull you into the a world, a town, a people, a family. It is a gentle story, about the hearts and hopes of people. It is kindly told, the way a parent tells a bedtime story to a child. Slow, simple with great meaning. Perhaps this is why I really like it so much. It warms my heart, gives me hope and makes me realize that the really important things in our lives are each other. It reminds me of my Grandfather telling me a story. There is wonder, honesty, entertainment and a moral. This is on my 'Must See' list but going in you have to know what it is to appreciate it.
