As Good As It Gets

Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

For someone who was read the books and was waiting for this film to be made, I was sadly disappointed. The main story line of the movie is not coherent with the first book they even add stuff from books further down in the series that shouldn't of been there. They didn't even get some of the characters correct and that was the most disappointing. If you have any curiosity to read the books I urge you to they are ten times better than the movie.

Unfortunately I started reading the series of book this movie is based on around 2005-2006, and was horrified to know they were turning it into a movie because it's one of my favourite books of all time. Well they completely ruined it, the only things being true to the books is that the characters of John Gregory, Thomas Ward and Mother Malkin exist, and that the theme of the story is dealing with her once she is freed. Basically everything else is different, down to the characters motivations, backgrounds, and sometimes even very existence (Kit Harrington's character is dead before the book even starts, and he dies to a completely different type of creature). Beyond that the movie is poorly written, badly directed, and lacks the depth of character and lore you find in the book (a 200 page novel for 9-12 year olds, it's not like it's The Stand or some big epic). They could have done so much better, but chose not to for who knows what reasons. TL;DR The movie is probably not worth your time unless you want a very bad LOTR spoof. Go read the book, it'll take you like 2 hours max.

HORRIBLE just plain bad. I didn't start with high expectations but that didn't stop me from being severely disappointed. Had I been watching in a theater I would have asked for my money back. Between the predictable story line and the acting seen in a middle school play, I can just ask you to save yourselves the time. I would have stopped maybe ten minuets in but I was with my family so I had to sit through the whole thing. It's so predictable and just so stereotypical of a fantasy movie. The forced love story was just absolute trash. do not watch this movie it is quite possibly one of the worst I have ever seen and iv'e seen Beverly hills Chihuahua

This film has had allot of negative reviews but I gave it a shot and yes its pretty bad. The premise of the film sees a witch hunter get a new apprentice in order to stop an army of withes. Jeff bridges character was quite fun in this film but he had a lack of depth to his character and at Times it was a bit hard to understand him. Julianne moore was also pretty good in this film as the villain witch even though her character also lacked depth. Ben barnes plays the apprentice in this film and he is just so dull and we are never given a reason to even start liking this character. Also even though Alicia vikander is a good actress there is just no chemistry between the two and it really hurts the film. The story is really basic and lacks any depth to it or its characters. The script is poor as well with no drama or humour added to make the film fun. The style has some pretty fun action scenes but also has an over reliance on cgi that come across poorly. Overall this is a poor film that doesn't hit the levels it should.
