Great Film overall

Good movie but grossly overrated

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

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.

The green inferno isn't super good but still i'm not that convinced that this is the worst thing Eli Roth has made.

The Green Inferno is a charming little flick, perfect for cozying up and enjoying with the family. Its structured with profound emotion rippling through our hearts as we cheer on a wonderful cast on an adventure into unknown plains. This movie is full of touching moments between broad characters with so much chemistry we cant help but fall in love with them. Its such a joy to see them interact with one another. There is as much stamina in this picture as there is passion. It captures you into its heavily spirited sentiment and never lets go. As the story progresses it only burrows deeper into your soul and leaves you in a state of peaceful wonderment. Don't put off watching this monumental cinematic eye opener any longer.

If this is one of the worst movies I've seen, why am I giving it a 4? It's technically fairly good. The photography looks nice, everything is as it should be as far as sound, color, etc. It holds attention pretty well.But this movie has a problem that I've never seen in any other movie. It misses the point it was trying to make.A number of people have brought this up - Eli Roth's explicit focus was to make fun of what he characterizes as "social justice warriors" or "slacktivists." It should be clarified that both of these are very different ideas.In both cases, he's sending the exact opposite message than he intends. Instead of poking fun at people who want to do good, but are too lazy to do so, he focuses on a group of people who make the effort to do good.Is the point that it's a bad idea to try to do good if you don't have all of the details? Was the message that this cannibalistic tribe should have been wiped out in favor of deforestation? This may have been the direction his thought was going in, but it's remarkably oblique.The other elements of the movie are not especially worthwhile. The gore is not especially shocking. It's usually sort of funny, since it plays out in a less-than-realistic way.It's hard to not compare this to Cannibal Holocaust, which achieved a much more creepy and distressing story. While we are supposed to like the protagonist, it's hard to do that when she's mostly passive until the end, and even then, makes a completely bizarre decision that requires as much of a logical stretch as the so-called "point" of this movie.I watch a lot of bad movies, and I usually look for the good in them. Even stuff like The Room is intensely personal. This is... a tribute that seems strangely shortsighted. Like a nihilistic teenager looking to prove that everything sucks.

Watched this awful movie on Netflix, well half of it then turned it off. Should have had a warning re age suitability. Extremely disturbing and graphic who in their right minds wants to watch a human being being eaten by cannibals and then fed to their captives. Story line was extremely weak and lame. It was all about how to shock and get as many screams from the audience as possible which it most certainly did exactly that, scream, scream scream. Absolute rubbish film.
