Excellent but underrated film

... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreIn matter of facts anyone can do better than this stupid story. Watch the first 10min then you will be able to predicte the rest, because there will be nothing new, search for a celebrity adress , rob her house and go to party. Guess what will happen the next day surprise "the same stupid thing over and over" the only change is the celebrity who they rob, at the end they will be arrested, but you will know that since the begining of the film. as an advice watch the trailer and go to watch another movie don't waste your time with this one.
... View MoreThe question is, why on earth did a good actress like Emma Watson choose to play in such a movie, and furthermore, to portray such a ridiculously shallow and dumb character? Yes, her acting was better than that of the other actors, but it was also incredibly annoying and just a pain to watch. Overall, the movie is repetitive, boring and some of the scenes made me wonder what the director was even thinking. There was no plot, no lessons learned, even the getting arrested part seemed no worse than being scolded by a primary school teacher for drawing on the desk. So what was the point of making this at all?
... View MoreThis movie contains about one hour and fifteen minutes of repetitive burglaries and drug use plus fifteen minutes of aftermath. But the first part could have been boiled down to fifteen minutes without the loss of a shred of meaning. That would leave 30 minutes of footage, which could perhaps have been supplemented by some other footage about more interesting characters or more interesting issues. But that would have been a very different movie.I always check the spoiler box, but I swear there is nothing to spoil. After the first five minutes you know exactly how the whole thing is going to go: (0001) young women and a young man with no real plans in their heads break in to celebs' homes and paw through their stuff and steal bling and money and drugs, then they get high, then GO TO 0001. There is no character development and very little to differentiate the young women from each other, with the exception of the Emma Watson character and her family who have the makings among them of a satiric Netflix comedy.Also, even in the first few minutes there are flash-forwarded snippets of the rationalizations the burglars will use when they are telling their stories after they get caught. Even without those, you would know that they are going to get caught because have no sense and boast to all their friends what they are doing and leave clues all over the Internet. So there is not even fake suspense - you are just waiting for the police to show up.So, seriously, the whole burglary and drugs part is just boring. Now you could say that "these empty-headed people really were just like this", but that's not an excuse. You could say that it provokes thought about the ironies of it all: "they rob the homes of celebs, but then they become ephemeral D-list celebs themselves" or "but what did Paris Hilton do to earn all her money? Are they worse than she?" (Short answer - yes.) But then how about addressing the real social problems? How do people grow up with this little sense of how to live? What is it like to be their judge, their parole officers, or even the Vanity Fair writer whose article sparked this effort, who try to make sense of this? Nothing like that here, though.There are some good lines at the end, voiced by the Watson character, which are a genuinely skillful send-up of the whole concept of people who have become celebs for nothing and demand, with general success, that you take them at face value as planet-saving humanitarians while they run their con game on you. (Lines with real relevance in the wake of the 2016 election.) But frankly, if you can find them in a YouTube clip, you have gotten the best part of the movie.
... View MoreInspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes. The Bling Ring is one of the most useless films i have ever seen in my life and also a movie that makes Emma Watson look absolutely hideous and awful, every single one character or human being that was in this film is either a rich jerk or just a jerk it's also a pretty boring movie and the story it tries to tell is pretty non-interesting and it moves so slow that it made me want to shut it off and i think that the best parts of this film was easily the ending like 5 to 10 minutes that's it nothing more (4.8/10)
