This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Adrian Lynes' Lolita is my favorite movie. It is a perfect match to the book and takes it beyond. The movie brings a strong eerie presence that was only felt slightly in the book. Humbert is not the perfect step- father he is made out to be, he is obsessive, and a pedophile. Lolita is seen mainly through his eyes, but glimpse of the real Dolores is shown throughout the movie like when she argues about the death of her mother and runs away to the diner. She isn't this "nymphet" he portrays her as, shes a normal girl taken from her normal life. Dominique Swain brings the perfect amount of attitude and innocence to perfect her character and Jeremy Irons brings the perfect amount of crazy into Humbert.

"A man marries his landlady so he can take advantage of her daughter." - The worst description of this movie possible, lie that gives completely wrong picture what you can expect to see in this film.Disturbed, but at the same time very romantic and sad love/life story, much much better than original novel by Nabokov. Maybe my favorite movie of all time.20/10"She was Lo, plain Lo in the morning, standing 4'10 in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. In my arms, she was always Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins, my sins, my soul, Lolita.""I was a daisy-fresh girl and look what you've done to me. I should call the police and tell them that you raped me, you dirty old man""Despite all the danger and hopelessness of it all, I was in paradise, paradise whose skies were the color of hell flames, but a paradise still."

To begin with, I will say that Adrian Lyne's one of my favorite directors. Whatever he does, he adds his unmistakable personal stamp on filming. The depth and detail are overwhelming. Each frame is a picture by itself. He is a master at creating atmospheres along with music and photography.He is also a provocateur, and he likes to be considered as such. One of the recurring subjects is the attraction between men and women, which can also be seen in "Unfaithful (2002)," "Indecent Proposal (1997)," "Fatal Attraction (1987)," "Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986) "" Flashdance (1983) "and" Foxes (1980) ".On "Lolita" The film seemed intense and intimate in equal measure. And even could say that is extremely private, as depicts personal feelings and sensations that could cause rejection or criticism.For me, there is nothing to criticize.The question of our capacity to empathize with Jeremy Irons role, arises.The psychological game between the two protagonists is as intense as unstable, and the roles of dominator and dominated are exchanged. We finally have a dramatic situation in which nobody wins, so it is as real as life itself.We stand before a, deeply and brutally honest movie.9/10

Very good film, Fully of funny moments and perverted scenes. I think this film is every mans guilty pleasure.Good old Humbert tries to resist his urges but ultimately succumbs to the sweet advances of Lo.the antagonist is debauched playwright Quilty (Frank Langella) and his appearance amid the pale fire of exploding bug-zappers really is very amusing.There are about 8 deleted scenes on youtube which I cant understand why they didn't put them in, you get to see more of Humbert's funny quips and perversion.Highly recommended movie!
