Letterboxd — Your life in film

Not nearly as bad as I had expected. Contains plenty of redeeming elements. Most notably the cinematography which is pretty good at times.

Really enjoyed the style employed. Jack Black owns the role and Matt M. is a joy to watch whenever he shows up. The film manages to pull of the comedy, the emotional moments and everything in between.

Forster is badass and there are some decent effects. It does feel like it just goes from A to B to C without point though.

Cool as ice. The last half hour is brilliance and the ending is perfect.

The first two segments are pretty poor but Rodriguez and Tarantino make up for it, mostly by toning down Roth's performance. His whimsiness doesn't work for me in the first half.

One of Tarantino's best soundtracks. Sam Jackson is having a blast. The variety of looks he has on his face is amazing. Especially when looking at Melanie.

Looks the coolest. Smoke all over the place, a jazzy score and a wise-cracking Elliot Gould.

A great soundtrack and well done cinematography. Overall it dragged a bit and I wasn't really that invested. Jack Nicholson is great of course, as always.

Looks absolutely amazing. Kirk Douglas delivers in spades and the way there is nothing he can do is so well done and portrayed.

Enjoyable twists and turns.

De Niro is a beast. One of his most fun performances full of insane energy.

The ever present score is a highlight, ominous, bombastic at times, always wonderful. The best thing about the movie, though, is Martin Scorsese's brilliant camera work. It's all over the place. Quick cuts, zooms, pans, tilts upside down and what have you.
