Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The film incorporates ancient beliefs about life. We are all connected by light. We turn into stars when we die. There is one miracle in all of us.The gods/angels/demons intervene.In our tale Peter (Colin Farrell) is a thief in NYC. He leaves the dark side run by a demon Pearly (Russell Crowe) and joins the good side. Pearly works for Lucifer (Will Smith) and is after Peter who meanwhile falls in love with a pretty redhead (Jessica Brown Findlay) who is about to die from TB. Peter literally lifts her off her feet and rides off on a magical white horse. This leaves me really skeptical: Did a guy really write this? This is a slow developing story. It has several good scenes and a number of snooze scenes. I would leave out the narration which assumes the audience are idiots and work whatever ideas it gives us into the Lucifer dialog.This is a soft PG-13.

I wanted to love this movie. Really, really wanted to. Winter's Tale is my favourite novel; but, I didn't want that to get in my way - I went in with an open mind. I knew that lots would have to be cut out (or else the movie would be 27 hours long!), and focusing on Peter Lake and Beverly Penn was obviously the right decision. BUT, then why would Akiva Goldsman ADD something? The totally ridiculous Judge/Devil character, played by Will Smith, is an invention that was very poorly chosen - it destroyed the magic. Parts of it were good: Colin Farrell is brilliant as Peter, Russell Crowe is a fiendishly wonderful Pearly Soames, and William Hurt is perfect as Isaac Penn; yet parts were bad. Although she is a great actor, Jessica Brown Findlay is woefully miscast as Beverly. Do yourself a favour, skip the movie, and instead go and read all of Mark Helprin's novels.

Good movie if you like angels, demons, fantasy, miracles.I really enjoyed this movie, about a young man (Peter Lake) who grew up in bad circumstances, got involved in a gang of thieves led by a demon, and managed to escape them with the help an angel who looks like a horse. He meets a young woman, and the demon thinks the woman is a threat and sets out to have her killed. After killing Peter Lake by pushing him into the river, he is then either kept in suspended animation by God for 100 years or so waking in up in 2014, or God makes Peter travel forward in time. Either way, Peter survived the fall into the river. In the modern New York he meets a woman with a daughter with cancer, and realises that the girl he kept drawing was this little girl. The demon asks Satan for permission to have a fight to death with Peter Lake in which one of them will die the one true death. I won't reveal any more, just to say that it was a great story with some unreal ideas, such as Willa did not look her age in 2014, she should have been about 120, and the fact that demons cannot die nor can angels choose to become mortal humans. If you like miracles then watch this. The angel horse made a great contribution as well.
