seen it,was expecting a lot and nothing happened was a snooze fest

That's what I thought lol!

:sunglasses:

A bit of a moronic comment from someone who doesn't have a clue.

Bit of an immature comment coming from a middle aged woman

Got about 40 minutes into this and gave up - it's just boring.

Yeah total snoozefest this, Mark Ruffalo didn't turn into The Hulk once despite losing his temper a couple of times.

It might be boring, but "This is a serious film that was lauded by critics and the Oscar board and recounts a very serious and very real subject" (Spark, 2016)

:man:

One of the most boring films I have ever seen. All hype

Snooze fest at it best.

I loved Whiplash too. I had no idea what it was when I stuck it on....but it is one of the only things Jazz related that has ever captivated me.

Hmmmm......Boyhood springs to mind. I've not seen Spotlight so can't comment and will watch it. But the amount of people that loved Boyhood when I thought it was one of the worst, boring, apologetic films I've ever seen. And that won Oscars. And no, I don't like Marvel films. But Whiplash, loved that.

I understood the film, I read up about it afterwards. I still thought it was tedious. Does that make me ignorant?

No, of course not.

A film has to be more than the sum of its parts. Yes, the topic is powerful....but the delivery, in my opinion, was not. It was tedious

Everyone is obviously welcome not to like a film like this. I just take objection to someone referring to it as a "snooze fest".

That's not expressing an opinion. That's expressing ignorance.

Expired. :-(

(That superiority complex is why I have Spark on my 'ignore' list. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having differing opinions about films such as Spotlight - and it is pretty ludicrous to shout down opinion simply because the subject matter apparently demands it. You can criticise a film like this without it disrespecting the subject matter...).

I'm not commenting on the film (as I haven't seen it; (but I'm sure I will love it when I do)), I'm commenting on your 'superior' view. I have read the excellent reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes and was wanting to read comments here on HUKD. Yours was a comment that seemed not to accept that others might have an opinion that is different than yours!

Actually, just realised, life is too short to debate the merits of this film.

I loved him in it.

No that is the very opposite of what a film like this should do. That is the objective of fiction and this isn't fiction.

what did you expect, shotguns and aliens ffs :'(

Then don't make silly comments. This is a serious film that was lauded by critics and the Oscar board and recounts a very serious and very real subject. If you wanted to be 'entertained' then you should have watched something else.

Oh, hark at you. Having more than 4 brain cells I wonder why you haven't called yourself Bright Spark!

I think you should stick to Transformers and X-Men. This is the kind of film that is made for those of us with more than 4 brain cells.

loved the movie...had been waiting to watch it all year, and finally got around to it this weekend...

Good film but there's more build up than there is pay off.

Great film.

It's ok. It no All the presidents men but it's alright.

Fantastic movie. So watchable, ace cast.

I thought "The Truth" with Cate Blanchett was a much more engaging, interesting and story-driven journalist movie.

A good find. Heat added! Thank you.

I honestly didn't know you could still rent movies. Thought that would have been done away with by now with internet shopping, streaming, satellite TV and what not.

You can only download to supported fire tablets. Cannot download to fire tv, sticks or any other non amazon devices (unless you have an amazon account on them and it is registered in your main amazon account as a supported/known device).

Download to keep? In what format, resolution, DRM, etc? Something I can stick on the NAS and watch from Kodi?

Good film, don't see the point buying though being tied to one company (Amazon) same with Google and Apple.

Watched it sometimes ago - boring, boring, boring. Too much hype imho.

Me too. It was class. Ruffalo is superb in it and Schreiber was a pleasant surprise since I can only ever picture him as ball breaker Ray Donovan!

I also watched it for 99p on Wuaki. Pretty decent but I was expecting something as good as 'All the President's Men' after all the hype, it wasn't.

seen it,was expecting a lot and nothing happened was a snooze fest

Good movie - not much to it though

Excellent film. Hot !!!

Saw this at the weekend with the wuaki 99p rental deal posted last week. Fantastic film and performances.
