From brilliant sociopolitical critique to *faaaaaart*, *baaaaaaarf* and *pooooooop* in 200 lbs. (I'm estimating Jack Black's weight there)

Slightly more fun than drinking the contents of a colostomy bag, but not much.

Frankly an abject waste of everybody's time. Jack Black wheels out the same, tired 'loser with a heart of gold' shtick that wore thin years ago, plonked into less an update of the classic story of Gulliver than a fetid abomination of story, script and direction. The remarkable thing is how good a cast it has - Emily Blunt (the only one to escape with some dignity), Chris O'Dowd (out to sink his career it seems), Billy Connolly (who just looks confused), Catherine Tate, James Fucking Corden and Amanda Peet, plus Jason Segel - though why he's delivering a 'Keanu in Dracula' bad British accent, Lord only knows. It's quite the waste of some damn fine talent, most of whom I can assume needed the paycheque.

See it if you're bored. Actually, no, just stare at the wall - better entertainment.

The cinematic equivalent of white noise.

Unfortunately for Jack Black, making a guy huge does not make him funnier. Gulliver’s Travels is annoyingly predictable and has some of the worst editing story wise I have ever seen. I don’t know what to else say about this. It’s just really stupid.

It was OK, with a brilliant cast. They did well with the bad screenplay, while the end was just unbearable. If it weren't for the awesome cast this would be 1 star.

Really quite terrible, the only good thing is Chris O'Dowd. A terrible script bears little resemblance to Swift's work and the effects are worse than those by Ray Harryhausen in The Three Worlds Of Gulliver from 1960.

Nice tilt-shifted title sequence, the rest was very patchy.

Not a great movie, but when you are paralysed with back pain, it provides lighthearted respite. I had fun with it.

So weird and so stupid. Oddly watchable and I'll admit to a few big laughs and there are a lot of familiar, likable faces but I honestly have no idea why this movie exists or why I watched it.

This movie is a fun goofy romp. Sure it fails in many qualities and jack black is the usual jack black. But still somehow against all odds i enjoyed Gulliver's Travels.

Viewed on Netflix

I usually like Jack Black films. Even if the film is really bad, like this film is, he & the rest of the cast (Jason Segal, Emily Blunt, Chris O'Dowd) make it much more enjoyable than it should be.
Somehow, it's not as bad as Year One.

Tuttu satu päivitettynä versiona. Visuaalisesti näyttävää tavaraa. Periamerikkalaisten ilosanomien levitys pilaa tunnelmaa.

It's awful. For some reason I've never been able to finish Jonathan Swift's book (I always get to the part with the weird horses and stop there), so I found it mildly amusing that the people who made this film apparently haven't been able to do it either. Then again, this film has so little to do with the book anyway that any conversation about how successful the adaptation is would be redundant. Jack Black is horrible (as per normal - I can think of only two films where I've been able to tolerate him), and the rest of the cast are not going to be proud to have 'Gulliver's Travels' in their filmography either.

Poor, poor, poor Emily Blunt. Being forced to give up Black Widow for this?
