Reviews
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Brenda 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

redx1708 North by northwest, To catch a thief, Charade. These movies come to mind when you watch a movie like this. They all had Cary Grant playing against actresses like Eve Marie Saint, Grace Kelly and Audry Hepburn. This one has Johnny Depp, which could probably have worked, except unfortunately he's up against Angelina Jolie. Now she may be a star, but she was never much of an actress. She starred in two movies based on a computer game, both of them cheap copies of Indiana Jones, where all she had to do was running round in shorts and tank tops and kicking ass. Then she made a movie with Brad Pitt, they got married, and now she was definitely a star. But in a movie like this it takes more than good looks to make it work and there's simply no chemistry at all between Depp and her. So the romance angle dies there. But there must be some fun and action surely ? Well we get Depp being chased over the roofs in Venice dressed in pyjamas and a boat chase in the Canals, where the bad guys on foot manage to overtake the boat at every bridge, and that's pretty much it. The plot is pretty simple although they try to make it seem complicated by throwing a few not too surprising twists into it. The script and dialogue are weak, and the director doesn't do anything to make up for it. So if you like these kind of movies check out the ones i mentioned at the beginning, and don't bother with this.
Tokana Hennequin Let me start off by saying that when one of our local television networks was airing this (again), I was really excited to be able to see it, especially since I haven't seen it before, despite it being aired numerous times. I was thoroughly disappointed, though, as 'the Tourist' is one of the worst movies out there, containing a lot of badly shot clichés! Angelina Jolie was dressed in costumes, not regal clothes, and Johnny Depp's clothes weren't that much different, either. The film was badly cast; the two lead characters should be believable both as people and love interests, and Jolie and Depp met neither requirement. Jolie was not believable as a Brit, especially as she couldn't pull off the accent, even if her life depended on it, and she had absolutely no on-screen chemistry with Depp; they were both just conveniently (or inconveniently) put there, and they were going through the motions, not really believing what they were doing.I could tell that the resort scene was supposed to be the scene where Depp realises that he's falling for Jolie's character, and though you got the romance, the scene didn't really happen. Again, they're just going through the motions; no real emotion behind it.I didn't watch the entire movie from start to finish, as it was so boring and I was so tired; it wasn't worth staying up and losing sleep over it! I cannot believe that this movie managed to scrape up a rating of '6.0'; it's so not worth it!Let me finish by saying that I will not be watching the movie again; it'd be a waste of time! Sorry for the rant, but this is a truthful account of how I feel.
gkeith_1 I don't like Depp as a slob, but here it was important. He was supposed to be an unkempt math teacher, presumably high school. I didn't like his light eyebrows or terribly unkempt hair in the early scenes. Later, I realized that this was his calculated appearance in order to appear rather incognito.In Finding Neverland, Johnny doesn't "get the girl", but here he does, in the end. Johnny has been in a lot of quirky nonromantic parts, including Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka. Here, it is more of an adult role which even includes fantasizing about a beautiful woman.Angelina is beautiful and ravishing. She wears beautiful clothes. Her black outfit reminded me of when she was in Maleficent. She has excellent hairstyles. I especially liked her updo at the ball. Despite what detractors have said, I liked it. It was very elegant and sophisticated.It was hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. I had to watch it twice, in order to figure some things out. Look, there's a James Bond, Timothy Dalton, playing a secondary/tertiary part. This is rather shameful, but I realize that ensemble acting does hold a film together. He was the one, near the end, who authorized the shooting of the chief bad guy and all of his goofy minions.10/10 Great.P.S. Depp was reading a spy novel in his opening scene. This must have been a harbinger of the coming storyline, since all I saw later were a bunch of crooks, criminals and villains each trying to grease up their mustaches toward a nifty conclusion after we were kept in suspense a long time.
