A promising idea, just badly executed

I really don't think this film deserves the 'worst film of the year' title that a lot of critics have awarded it, but I'm afraid it still is pretty poor.

The basic plot idea on paper sounds interesting and fairly unique - fantasy characters (a la Lord of the Rings) living in present day LA. The problem is it's very badly executed. Instead of being what should be a mostly fantasy film, instead it is a cop buddy film with a vague element of fantasy thrown in almost as an after thought, and which also is a little bit silly.

The humour was mostly poor and misplaced and really not funny at all, and even the action scenes were dull and boring. My other half agreed with me on this one which is unusual, as he usually likes everything.

A promising idea that was sadly squandered.

Could have been so much better

I'm a little disappointed with this film. On paper it sounds great, but in reality it's very badly executed.

It's very similar to Black Mirror, although nowhere near as dark or good. The idea is a good one and one very close to home considering how advanced technology is nowadays. It is a good take on social media and technology companies, it just doesn't quite work although at times it does make you feel rather uncomfortable at how all this is used. The problem is it comes across as a little boring and unengaging at times, and characters actions seem a bit bizarre. Tom Hanks and John Boyega are greatly underused although Emma Watson doesn't do too badly as the lead. I didn't get the ending either, it just didn't seem to fit and was a little confusing.

Plot is twisting and turning and provides for a consistent and ever guessing tale of tragedy and despair (0 more)

Cast can be wooden at times and on occassion the story lines do not intertwine as consistently as in the book. (0 more)

Amazing Whirlwind Ride From Start to End

Contains spoilers, click to show

This is one of the most honestly thrill seeking adaptations I have seen for a long time. I am a big lover of original novel based stories and when these stories are made into on screen adaptations, it is easy for things to go terribly wrong and the story to become lost within flashy CGI ect. This is one of the best TV shows I have watched for a long time, to be honest I binged watch it within 3 days. The crew and cast of 'The Haunting of Hill House' created a modern day masterpiece whilst staying true to the original paper back.
