Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
... View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreHow could this film ever get any nominations for a award because it made 99 million dollars in the box office the real box office should be 0 dollars because of the god awful the people who made this film would never work in the film industry ever again because they had helped to make this film come to life and be released in theaters should be his arch nemesis for the rest of their life and and how did other people agree on being part of this film they would have nightmares for as long as they live because they were acting with justin bieber next to them so he could get all the money while no cares for the rest of the actors on screen because they want justin god dammit if he is not on screen than this film would fail if he is not on screen for more than 1 minute and the director would make justins next terrible film when he should be making now you see me movies
... View MoreI just had to glance over the plot-keywords and stumbled across this little gem: Prodigy". Of course I spilled my coffee and people around me thought that I had become hysteric, asking whether they should call a doctor but that was worth the best laugh I had in a very, very long time. Comparing "Prodigys" like Mozart and Bieber is like comparing Beluga caviar to a greasy hamburger at McD's.But then I thought about the "good, old days", when there used to be talented musicians, who worked their way up, who recorded timeless classics that can still be enjoyed in a hundred years. I thought about the future, what savvy producers might find on YouTube in the next hundred years and throw on Madison Square Garden, so they can record a "documentary". Suddenly the joke wasn't so funny anymore.Then I looked at those screaming 10-15-year olds in the audience, imagining in a few years time, that they might be a wee bit embarrassed, blushing when admitting to their boyfriends that they had actually been to a JB-concert. However, I felt for the parents, who had to net out their hard-earned money for this tripe. I even felt a little sad for the Bieber-Kid, thinking what inevitably will happen to his "career", once the hype has died down and the money-monkeys will cease to whisper delusions of grandeur into his naïve teen-ear. Perhaps there will one day come a sympathetic soul, who'll point out the "careers" of Frankie Lymon and a whole legion of similar wrecked teen-stars (but I doubt that somebody like that would make it past the bodyguards).The mandatory 1/10 (and maybe one day IMDb will give us that 0-rating, so it can be bestowed on "works" that don't deserve one point; it worked for Roger Ebert, did it not?)
... View MoreI have never watched the film (ha! I said never!) but I know for a fact that it is trash pants rubbish awful terrible horrible hell stupid pointless idiotic and generally Justin Bieber. I wish someone would just kill the guy. His voice drives me crazy. Stupid little screaming fangirls can't see past looks (Justin Bieber is ugly anyway) and don't notice his little girly voice. I wish people would appreciate REAL music like: Queen, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Linkin Park, AC/DC and Bon Jovi. Beliebers, go see this movie and then hate Justin Bieber. People who hate Justin Bieber don't watch this film. Just don't waste your time or money. JUSTIN BIEBER SUCKS! JUSTIN BIEBER SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!
... View MoreI love documentaries, so I figured "hey, maybe I'll get some insight as to why everyone loves this kid". Well, I didn't get any. I learned he grew up in a healthy environment and apparently the hardest thing he ever had to do was get over a cold to perform. Why call the movie "Never say never" if the kid never had to deal with hardship? I don't get it. If he was a crack baby that grew up in an orphanage, I could see the reason to make a movie. THAT would be inspiring. But growing up in Canada? Hardly an accomplishment.It's not that it's a BAD movie, it's just cripplingly dull. Unless you're a devout fan, just watch something else.
