Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

... View MoreA bit of a cliff note of the Hollywood heydays. A bit of everything. Big number on homer-sexuality with the navy. Hew! A cowboy cast into a soirée, a kidnapping, commies, etc. Not too bad.
... View MoreHail, Caesar tells the story of a Hollywood fixer who solves every problem related to the production of movies in a studio. Hail Caesar is an obvious love letter to the big old Hollywood movies, from a technical standpoint the movie is great, the production design on the interior of the movie sets is very detailed and elegant with vivid colors as well as the costumes, the 1950´s aesthetic is very well created too. The cast is great except for some actors who didn´t have many screen time and only made a cameo, and there´s also great scenes here, the Alden Ehrenreich scene were he can not say the line, the Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum dance sequences are just an example.However the script its a mess, it falls five different storylines without focusing exactly in one, the editing could also been improved, some scenes felt like they were cut out and just put there, and by the end end of the movie some characters didn´t have a conclusion and the ones who did felt rushed. Hail Caesar does have its moments but not enough of them, and the script doesn´t really help.6.7/10
... View MoreAmong the five best movies ever made, or maybe six. Inspired story-telling and masterful acting. Clooney is hilarious from beginning to end, though Alden Ehrenreich gives even the master a run for his money. Intelligent and charming, an homage to old Hollywood, with a stellar cast hitting on all cylinders. Shouldn't be missed--never has Communism been more fun!
... View MoreIt was just on HBO and my wife and I decided it was going to be our choice for movie night last night. It was literally the worst movie I've ever seen. The plot was slow and barely there, the writing was terrible, and the directing tied nothing together. Even the acting was stupid and forced, I can't believe these actors would even sign on for this...and Scarlett wisely disappears rather quickly, like she was just in it as a favor. Like troopers we made it through to the end (well, i did...my wife got up and started cooking in the kitchen, she just couldn't take it anymore) and even the ending was pointless and went no where. I don't think you could have made a less interesting film if you tried. Straight to DVD and deservingly so.
