I have seen some amazing movies, and some real stinkers; but this must be the worst movie I have seen. I had very low hopes, and they were still not low enough.

The plot is boring, the pace slow, the logic is missing, acting is awful, awful music... even the CGI is terrible... there's not one thing I liked about it. I think it's meant to be funny in parts, but it was more just cringe.

The final act was even worse; I won't spoil it - but just don't watch it.

There are many major flaws; but why exactly did her becoming a world famous writer need to help!

Please don't make a sequel, if there was any justice it would not even appear on any streaming service.

A thoroughly enjoyable, touching movie with brilliant flashes of Italian-American humour throughout.

The movie seems to rely on baselines to mask the giant plot holes.

Most of the dialogue is either mumbled or drowned out by excessively loud music and what little you do hear is bland and mundane.

More evil Russians voiced badly by non-natives just adds to the overall crap of this movie.

Its not smart or cool it's just annoying.

Whilst the photography is almost always amazing in this series, some of the eco stories around them fall flat, but the part with the shark wrapped in plastic was very powerful indeed.

Great stuff.

Sadly the directions of Art for the tribes to strike the right pose for him, and his decision to paint people himself spoils much of the wonder he wanted to capture.

The irony of trying to record the tribes before their traditions due - by showing them drawings of how to pose for him was clearly lost.

I felt had he taken a bigger step back he could have shared a much better insight.

It takes place almost entirely in one room, and the dialogue, acting and direction is fantastic throughout.

Time has not diminished this gem and it deserves its fame and status.

The movie is good, but the whimsical, silly and offbeat soundtrack is just perfect for the movie.

Ellen Page was very good too.

It's a slow-burning insight into the world of mega corporations and their sometimes debatable relationship with the law and ethics.

You can see the plot devices a mile off, but it's still well put together; the fact it's not really unexpected or complex at any point though really let's it down though.

I love a good documentary but I think some of the fine work from the BBC and Netflix has spoiled me - I found this quite indulgent and a bit boring.

Philipe himself is an interesting guy; but the artistic merit is hammed up far too much I feel.

Would have made a great shorter documentary, but you could cut 30 mins and not lose anything.

The acting again was brilliant throughout, but I think Mo'nique was especially good.

Despite some very famous (but tasteful) cameos the movie manages to keep its rawness and lack of pretence. The emotions during the arguments in particular really shine through and drive home the sadness of the situation. The low points are pitted against the hope of education and people who really want to make a difference.

A real gem of a movie and I'm so glad it's got the recognition it deserves.

Not much to fault; but the script is absolutely fantastic, the lines are realistic, believable - and more often than not hilarious.

The film was sadly much too long and relied way too much on CGI rather than the storyline.

A few characters introduced who did nothing other than occupy time too.

A story worthy of a movie, but I feel it was a bit too long, and despite the excellent acting from everyone - it just falls short due to the pacing.

I think more of Trumans life could have been shared, rather than such a narrow period of what was also a complex man's life.

The pace of the movie is a bit ponderous, and for me I don't think Weisz was in enough scenes, with enough impact to win best supporting actress - I think it was more down to the subject of the movie, rather than a few self-righteous scenes or scenes of crying.

All that said, the subject of the movie is most interesting indeed.

As a frequent visitor to Barcelona this movie reminds me of the charming aura of Barcelona, its flowered gardens and charming streets. Against this backdrop is some excellent acting from the three main actors (Who shared nominations between them) and a smooth, soft sense of direction.

A few wasted scenes and I feel the ending was a bit lacking of real drama - but a smart, upmarket romantic movie with an unpinning of humour.

Throughout the movie the acting was superb as the casting was flawless. These combine with considered to provide a tender insight into such a historic moment.

Geoffrey Rush was every bit as good in this as Colin Firth.

Excellent acting by a well chosen cast. I thought everything from the direction, the dialogue through to the development of the story was almost flawless too.

A modern thriller with light horror elements at the end and soft humour throughout.

So far I haven't learned much, many opportunities missed to add more information; like the continent at the start is Pangea but it's not mentioned, ditto the Kuiper Belt.

It's well produced but I feel it could crank a notch up on the science, but I'll keep watching.
