Sorry, this movie sucks

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

You understand the end after few minutes. All the rest is slooooooooow. Boooooooring. Nothing really happens.

Greetings from Lithuania."The Beguiled" (2017) is a good movie. It was very solidly directed, nicely written drama that kinda surprised me in a second half of the movie. I haven't saw the original, nor read the book, nor i intend to it. I liked this movie.Overall, craftsmanship of this movie was good. Acting was pretty good, although nothing that special. Set design was solid and like i said i liked the kinda unexpected turn the story made. This is a slow movie which won't please anyone that is for sure, but its a good movie - that i'm sure either.

'The Beguiled (2017)' is a thriller which isn't actually all that thrilling. This remake of the Eastwood/ Siegel classic removes much of the gritty edge and tension while retaining the same basic story and structure, a move which ends up neutering the narrative a significant amount and actually makes the entire affair seem rather pointless, to an extent. That's not to say it's terrible or even bad, in fact it passes the time and is both directed and acted with a subtle yet significant passion mixed with a steady professionalism. It's never dull but it's also never exciting, either. The events are depicted in a calculated manner and the piece is devoid of almost any emotion. The ending also frustratingly lacks any real resolution, other than the obvious way it brings the plot to a close. 6/10

Just awful compared to 1971. All this does is give crews and actors a pay check ... I hated it. Fast forwarded most of the time. Just a bad remake. Bad.
