This was a verry good movie special effects wise .i liked the movie but seemed like the script and the actors wernt on the same page.this movie feels like it was thrown together after they figured out the special effects.over all i did like it.but the actors all seem like there was no actual feelings allowed .this movie lacked the sadness and drama it should have had .even the bad guy didnt protray much feeling .thats where this went wrong except for rhiannas charcter there was little to no feelings at all.verry dead pan .maybe im wrong but somethings off on the conection.

I feel like this movie suffered from the same thing that Anthropoid thing, a boring build-up that doesn't really pay off in the end.
This movie felt like a 2 hours movie, which is never good. It was a long slog, and the tension wasn't built enough to actually interest me. It was a good story, but the pacing issue was bad.
Ben Kingsley was silently menacing, and tried to weasel his way out of taking the blame for anything. I felt like the movie was perhaps too kind towards his character? Oscar Isaac did well in his role, but it still wasn't enough to keep me completely enthralled.

Laborious satire proves that no matter how good your cast is, it can't save a film with a lousy script. Subversive multi-millionaire Guy Grand (Sellers) and his adopted son (Ringo) embark on a series of lavish practical jokes to demonstrate the venality of western society. Basically a series of too-contrived-to-be-funny sketches clumsily making fun of the sacred cows of British society in particular.
Some people (Paul Merton for one) would have you suggest that The Magic Christian has a reputation as a bad movie because it ridicules things the establishment holds dear (the boat race, high art, grouse shooting, etc). This is not true: it has a reputation as a bad movie because it is a bad movie, clumsy, smug, and not nearly as insightful as it seems to think it is. The main reason for watching is the cast list, which is eye-opening, although how well the various cameoing stars emerge tends to be in inverse proportion to the size of their role. One of those films that proves the swinging sixties weren't all that great.

One of my all time favorites, I need to watch it every Memorial Day Weekend (2 more)
The first scary movie I can remember wanting to watch over and over.
So many great quotes
DAA DA
I never get tired of watching this movie. You just need to hear the first four notes of the score and you know what was going to happen.

Upset the head and you’re dead
A Charles band movie that actually isn’t too bad. The head of the family is literally that, a giant head on a tiny body and the rest of his siblings are just as odd. I’m a sucker for these sort of films, it’s got full on weirdness, mixed in with a dose of nudity and a special Joan of arc scene. Who wants more from a movie

Very good for an 80s action movie
This is one of those movies you love because of how bad it is. Well, that and the sheer amount of fun you have watching a thick-accented commando going up against horrifically ugly aliens.
I remember nothing about this movie other than enjoying the heck out of it and simultaneously having the desire to never watch it again.
Honestly, it's pure cheesy magic, isn't it?

In my opinion the best of the Nolan batman movies it has everything and more and probably heath ledgers best performance in a movie worthy of the Oscar he won the rest of the cast ain't bad either the action scenes the bank heist at the beginning any many other scenes are just brilliant. I could go on why I love this movie but it would take too long

Prepare to scream again...or not
I was pretty excited to see this movie, and by the end I was only mildly disappointed. This movie had a few twists that I thought were enjoyable. But ultimately the movie falls flat because the main twist was weak and didn't matter overall in the scream universe. Some of the acting was terrible, and I can't tell if it was intentional for some of the character traits or if it was legit bad acting. The practical effects in this were really good and actually looked believable. I also enjoyed the update in the horror movie troupes and the way they incorporated newer technology into the movie. Overall this movie will fall flat unfortunately but it does open up the universe for another sequel.
