Personally, I think that this is a far more sophisticated, misanthropic and tightly written film than 'Lebowski'. Not that 'Lebowski' wasn't hilarious, it was just lacking a tight and macabre farcical energy that 'Reading' so effortlessly emits.
This was one of the rare instances where I returned a movie back to the store without finishing it. After about an hour, I lost all interest. I tried to stick with it - I really did. But it was just....just... lame. It wasn't witty or clever. It wasn't engaging. It was nothing.
I love that movie, I hate that i didnt see it in theaaters just because I kept hearing bad things, I guess i just know not to trust other peoples opinions now
The problem is people like happy endings; people like sweet & innocent butt jokes; people like films where they don't have to think and observe all of the nuance. This is not a pedestrian film so don't listen to the simpletons.
That's true. I might have to watch it twice. But it's not like listening to a song twice, it's a 90 minute movie. I like movies that have a point. I understand there are some subtleties in the movie, but I think they are retroactive explanations.
hilarious and if you don't like it or get it go and watch something made by the waynes brothers. to me this was a simple plot and it was just so much fun seeing all these serious actors having fun with their roles
That was a really good movie. I liked the degredation of the characters. Pitt was hilarious and Malkovich is genius with his crazy guy bit. The story kept me intrigued I think mostly because the characters were so interesting that I kept wanting to see what was going to happen next.
I just remember seeing the previews before it came out and seeing brad pitt as a goofy exercise instructor something totally different than what we're use to. It looked funny as hell...and he was funny as hell.
i saw it but i didnt like it. jusst uno nothing agaisnt it just thaught that nothing really peiced together, and after brad died the movie went downwords for me
You actually have to watch it several times. 1st time I saw it I was like "hmmm that was weird." I've watched it 3 times since (not in a row ^^') and now I really like it. Doesn't match The Big Lebowski but still good =)
This is such a good movie, I love the Coen Brothers there sense of humour is odd but works so well. Stand out preformance John Malkovich you dont wana mess with him. JK Simmions was gold. Brads character was brilliant I think he did a really good job, everything about him was so funny. I loved the plot people say it didnt really go anywhere and they dont care for the characters I dont agree. it all spun out of control and you want to know how the maddness ends. acting brilliant all round
Hmm - well I saw the movie myself and I think this RevYOU is very accurate. I went with two people who really liked it, but then I thought it wasn't very good. If your friend LOVES the Coen Brothers, then go. If not, probably a rental at this point.
hmmm. some of my friends just think its funny, and one dude watched it alrdy and said it was good. I don't know how they think that, the trailer makes the movie look like a bunch of perverted wise cracks on old ppl... I don't know. I'll go watch it with them anyway. There's not that many good movies coming out lately, maybe Nick and Norah and rocknRolla....
I understand that the Coen Brothers are a "genius" as some people may know but a movie like this is a mockery of the CIA but is supposed to make sense. Other movies that are based off other serious movies are an exception but this one ends abruptly even the the through-line is articulated by J.K. Simmons. Do yourself a favor fans and turn back around to your car and drive home. You'll have a better time watching ZOO than what your about to involve yourself with here.
most of you are just not smart at all if you dont understand it, its not supoosed to have a meaning its just supposed to be funny how dumb most of them are. it is so great, cant understand how you cant like it
this movie was dumb as fuck, all those ppl lied for the camera omg that movie was retarded, it was an inside joke between the cohen bothers becuase im sure they are the only 2 ppl who understood it.
If you couldn't understand this movie(even though they pretty much sum up the message of this whole film at the end) says something about your intelligence. Hint: It means you're retarded.
Agreed. This plot is actually easier to follow than most of their other films too. If you can't follow it, then maybe something like the Mummy 3 or Disaster Movie is more up your ally.
It won't be No Country For Old Men or The Big Lebowski, Fargo, or even Raising Arizona for that matter. Some critics are giving this movie crap because it's stupid, no shit sherlock! So I know what I'll get here and I won't be disappointed.
You must have been busy today with all the new releases! I wanted to go to the movies today but I had to finish writing my short script and then I had to work. Anyway, great work! Looking forward to the other videos!
only Coen Brothers film i dont like. it was way too confusing and i didn't get a feel the characters. however it was funny.
BTW best coen brothers film= The Big Lebowski!

I found 'Burn After Reading' to be the most coherent of the Coen Bros. films.
