What a waste of my time!!!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Moonrise Kingdom may be too quirky for some people's tastes, but I found it endearing and entertaining. The filmmaking is definitely that of Wes Anderson, complete with sharp, witty dialogue and interesting sets and shots. It's not Anderson's best work, but it captures young love in a way that not many people have in film.

Truly, if you've seen one Wes Anderson film, you've seen them all. Moonrise Kingdom is just one of the many deadpan classics of the Anderson catalogue. Nobody can set up a frame better than him. Nobody could write a script as eclectic. Nobody can make better use of a cast of Hollywood favorites. Moonrise Kingdom has all of what we love about Wes Anderson and more. The coming- of-age tale fits his universe fantastically. He knows how to make the conventional seem completely unconventional. Sometimes, it's too quirky for it's own good. But that is the risk you take with Wes Anderson. Either you get it, or you don't.

This brilliant movie about a pre-teen boy and girl that fall in love and run away, leaving the people of the bourgeois island in hysteric panic (after they noticed the kids were gone and started to care), requires an odd sense of humor. If you do not have that, if you're as bourgeois as the islanders, it will be wasted on you. Otherwise you will be in for an amazing treat, full of absurd situations, relations, households, events and dialogues. And with people desperately trying to cope with their lives,in contrast with the young love of two outcasts.The whole movie from begin to end gets you of your feet, it is all close to normal, but just not that. The tree-house on the top of a thin stripped tree (commented as: "isn't that dangerous?") represents the whole atmosphere of the movie.Highly recommended

I've got to be honest - I just don't get the appeal of Wes Anderson's films. Quite how 'Moonrise Kingdom' and the more recent 'Grand Budapest Hotel' films are so widely popular I will never know. I would have thought that such oddball films would only appeal to a certain group of people, but it seems that the majority of viewers seem to either like or love Anderson's bizarre, random creations.'Moonrise Kingdom' is an unexplainable film. The only way I can describe it is as a weird mishmash of adventure, drama, comedy and romance with a very weird and very shallow plot. One of the main problems I have with Anderson's films is how much emphasis is placed on style and visuals. It seems like more thought goes into the camera movements in his films than the actual plot. It comes down to personal taste of course, but I'm not a fan.
