MelanieTheresa (997 KP) rated Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) in Movies
May 8, 2019
I've been looking forward to this one since it was announced. While I know the story is being told from Liz's perspective, I have to admit I found it strange that we didn't get to see any of the murders being committed by one of the most famous serial killers of all time. It's an interesting take on a story most people already know.
Zac Efron was excellent, as was the rest of the cast (Jim Parsons can do no wrong), but the movie does drag just a bit, and I feel like some of Efron's talent is wasted here. They definitely could have done more with him. That said, he was the perfect mix of creepy and charming, and when they show the actual Bundy footage during the end credits, you realize how close Efron's performance comes to the actual man.
Overall I thought it was good, but could maybe have been better.
Oh, and also? I'll never be mad at Zac Efron's....backside. ?

The world's favorite nerd
I wasn't sure about this show at first, I'll admit. When I first started watching, I thought "great another spy show. Like we don't have enough of those." But Chuck won me over with his awkward nerdy style, that somehow won over the ladies and helped him save the world a time or two. Chuck made nerds cool again.

This is the greatest show...
Still singing the songs many months later! Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron both give outstanding performances, while the supporting cast of singers will make you laugh, sigh and weep. A feel good family musical with an uplifting message of acceptance and love - heard in every song on the OST. Powerful chords, moving lyrics and strong voices give these tracks the motivational sound I look for in a modern musical!

The film was a reminder that Ted Bundy didn't look and act as evil on an average day as we would expect him to, and in most cases, even in the most heinous of cases, evil could be anyone.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes in TV
Jan 29, 2019 (Updated Jan 29, 2019)
Serial killer/true crime documentaries are my favorite things to watch. I recently read The Stranger Beside Me, which is by Ann Rule, who worked with Ted Bundy, and, with the hype surrounding Zac Efron playing Bundy, it makes sense that Netflix would drop this now.
Sadly, it was boring, and offered very little, if any new information. If you don't really know a ton about Bundy, it's a good introduction to his ego and crimes.

Extremely Woeful, shockingly rubbish and boring!!
Just watched 'extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile'...utter garbage. It's from Liz's perspective but is historically inaccurate and just completely boring. If you didnt know the story you would think Bundy was innocent until the end. They dont show any of the murders and it's just bizarre. You've got arguably one of the worlds sickest psychopaths, serial killers and necrophiles and dont even go into details of the murders let alone show them. It would be like titanic but not showing the sinking! Zac Efron is really good and in the court room scenes hes excellent but that's just copying previously recorded stuff. A real opportunity would have been to see Efron using his skills during the killings. Joe Berlinger is best known as a documentarian and I have loved his previous work but this felt like a cheaply done documentary reenactment and unfortunately shows his limitations. So disappointed and a total waste of Efron's talent and the subject matter.

Amazingly magial
This film blew me away, it takes me a while usually to get emotional over a film. But not this one. Every song in the film is so powerful and will leave you close to tears (especially 'This Is Me') it shows that you should accept and love who you are no matter what you look like and the more you care for a person the more they can be your family no matter the background. I'd recommend to everyone any day

Wow!!!
Having tried to avoid this film since it came out, I finally succumbed and was immediately obsessed.
The story of PT Barnum and his freak show has been filmed before but this film totally dazzled me. Yeah, so it’s not historically correct, take this musical for what it is and you’ll love it!
The songs are catchy, there is a tidy story, and what girl in her right mind doesn’t enjoy the opportunity to dribble over Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron!!

Phenomenonal movie
This movie is possibly one of the best musicals to come out of Hollywood in a few years! The music is extremely catchy, you'll want to hear it again and again. Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron's number "The Other Side" is a choreography spectacle, "This Is Me" is a powerhouse anthem, "Rewrite the Stars" both vocally and visually stunning!!! The acting is just amazing, and the plot is heartwarming, with a few tugs on the heart strings for good measure. You'll want to see this movie again and again, ad naseum

The soundtrack!
The message that being different is good and should be celebrated as much as normality is.

I'm only adding to my negative thing, but it contains spoilers so I'm writing it here - Jenny was a complete b*tch. She knew she was just an act to Barnum. He did let her know at the beginning. What was the point in moving in on him? He introduced her to his wife and daughters!
