TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
super-50579 This movie is underrated I think. Most people look to Rear Window or Psycho but this is a gem that is passed over too often.
mattkerr-73017 On second viewing, there were a lot of great things that I hadn't noticed the first time around; subtle clues of the twists to come, being able to view the film while knowing the inevitable outcome adds a new level of tragedy to the events of the film for the viewer. While I may have romanticised this film in my head after my first viewing years ago, I believe it is still an absolute masterpiece, and a good starting point for my proceeding journey into the best of cinema.
Charbel Elaro Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock is a crime drama which surrounds one retired detective who is asked to take on one last task. The task is to follow his college friend's wife due to her recent bizarre behaviour. And from that point the audience is taken on such a captivating and unexpected journey. Vertigo is simply incredible. Everything in the film is still outstanding. The cinematography, music, acting and script are some of the best ever. What I love particularly is how unpredictable it is. The movie takes such incredible turns, which really compels the audience even further. The sinister tone of the movie is so magnetic, as the feelings and emotions remain with you beyond the credits. The film ends with such a high, confirming why it is one of the most memorable movie experiences in history. My only issue is the first act, which at times can feel quite slow due to that fact that audience doesn't have that emotional attachment to the characters and story yet. Although the film progresses and builds brilliantly. Vertigo will forever be timeless so therefore I give it a 9.
ti-jaheed This movie seems illogical from many perspectives. I normally skip not a single second of a movie except in the case of this one. It contains some random characters, nearly no story, top to bottom poor in terms of logic. It felt like let abandon watching this movie after 2/3. But quickly thought to add another count to my watched movies list. However, disappointed by the high rating.
