Please just take a few moments to read, and I mean truly read, the synopsis for, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close:
A nine-year-old amateur inventor, Francophile, and pacifist searches New York City for the lock that matches a mysterious key left behind by his father, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Really? In 37 short words I already hate this film with every fibre of my being and want to smash this precocious, tamborine-waving, little shit in the face with a hammer. This is an impressive feat, particularly as I haven’t even pressed play yet.
I guess I should apologise now for the quality of this review. It might become unintelligible as my bile-filled critique…

aka
"Tom Hanks and His Fuckwit Son Play 9/11"You remember that one episode of Family Guy where Lois found out the only thing she had to do to become Mayor was making the easily manipulated agree with her on topics like "9/11 was bad?"
That was more subtle than this shit storm.
Tom Hanks should have fucking better known better.
You too Max Von Sydow.
James Bond should have warned Felix Leiter about taking part in such shit.
Sandra Bullock gives a performance WAY better than this film deserves.
The kid...can either quit acting, take some classes, or just fuck off.
One of the worst films I've ever seen.
Matter of fact, this isn't a film.
It's manipulation in the form of a turd. -
This is the most horrid, abysmal, manipulative emotion porn I have ever seen. Everything is complete shit. I want to find out where Thomas Horn lives and shove a big handful of hairy spiders up his ass. I have never, in my entire life, wanted to brutally murder a character as much as I wanted to brutally murder Oskar Schell. I want to dip my dick in fire ants and skullfuck him through the eye. I want to slowly dismember him in front of his family. I wish Oskar had died on September 11th because the world would be a better place without him.
Fuck this movie. This film made me physically sick. These past two hours have been the longest fucking hours in my entire life. Fuck this fucking movie.
Fuck.
This.
Movie.

9/11 porn for the easily manipulated.

After the closing credits, I felt like Marcellus Wallace and was ready to get mediaeval on this film's ass.
Now, I always try to keep the swearing to a minimum when writing a review, but fuck that, this film pisses me off too much.
Foer's novel is one of the most impressive novels I read in the past ten years. It is a story about history, human connections, family, loss, grief all seen through the eyes of an autistic boy. IT IS NOT ABOUT 9/11!!!!!!!!!!! The tragedy of that particular event serves a backdrop to emphasise the fact that death is incomprehensible. Foer also uses the bombardment of dresden to illustrate this. I feel that the way Foer manages to…

Οι κριτικοί είδαν λίγο παραπάνω συναίσθημα και ξέσπασαν με μένος. Ένα χρόνο μετά δίνουν στο Avengers 93 τοις εκατο. Γέλα, γέλα πουλί μου γέλα.

This was at least my second attempt to get through this movie (fell asleep before), and I really shouldn’t have bothered. The blurb may say it’s not a movie about September 11th, but it is. And the worst kind, at that — contrived, trying waaay too hard, and blatantly capitalizing. There was no need to even make mention of 9/11 — the ‘origin story’, the death of Oskar’s father, could’ve been due to any random act of senseless violence. But of course, that wouldn’t have allowed for any gratuitous tower shots, for ‘impact’. (For the record, I don’t take blanket issue with the use of tower shots — they have been used well in other films/shows.) The problem is that…

Extremely Quiet & Incredibly Far.

Some people must truly enjoy hating everything except hating everything. 1/2-star reviews, seriously? This is worse than Lake Placid 3 and One For The Money? Stfu and smile for once.
While it is very melodramatic and the kid is incredibly obnoxious, this is a beautiful film and deserving of much more praise. People disgust me.

QUIETLY screaming.

One of the most emotional movies I´ve ever seen.
