Pros: No one can force you to see it Cons: I already did
I am a fan of the soap opera. I freely admit it. Wacky plot lines, serial marriages, pregnancies that last 5 years and children that grow up in six months. And amnesia, lots and lots of amnesia. I’m all for it. What makes them fun is that they...
Pros: Jim Carrey, Warm, sentimental movie Cons: A few slow moments, predictable
This afternoon my hubby (Payso) and I decided to go and see a matinee. I really wanted to see "Ali", but living in a small down does have it's drawbacks...our small theater isn't showing it yet. I was disappointed but I've also wanted to see The...
Pros:Jim Carrey and Martin Landau give award winning performances. Cons: A couple of places were slow while others were rushed.
Preamble
Forget Kate and Leopold! If you're looking for a movie that touches your heart and soul (and might even make you shed a tear), go see The Majestic!
Pros: Visually tasty, great period film, enjoyable to watch, good music Cons: Predictable, contrived plot, can be slow
Gee, I wrote that catty headline, and now I feel bad because there are a lot of things I like about Jim Carrey's attempt at serious acting in The Majestic. He convincingly pulls it off at times, too.
It’s actually surprisingly difficult for me to dislike ‘The Majestic’, and I won’t say that I am all the way to dislike. I really want to like it, but I can’t quite get there.
The idea of an attempt to put together something...
Pros: Lovely cinematography, excellent supporting cast, occasional smart moments Cons: Jim Carrey isn't up to this and Frank Darabont isn't Frank Capra. Too darned long!
I believe that reviewers tackling The Majestic are contractually obligated to make reference to the fact that this is Frank Darabont's attempt to make a Frank Capra film. So here was my plan in attacking The Majestic: I was going to look at...
Pros: It reminds us of great directors like Frank Capra and Preston Sturges Cons: Capra and Sturges stopped making films 50 years ago.
Once upon a time, there was a movie reviewer who stumbled out of a cinema in the wee hours of the morning, half-drunk on buttery popcorn and watered-down cola. As he reeled from side to side down the street, clinging to lampposts for support along the...
Pros: Carrey, Landau and the message, set design and music Cons: sentimental, I admit it
I was prepared not to like this movie. After all, I read a few reviews here, and I’m not as dumb as I look. However, I found that in spite of all warnings to the contrary, I liked this film. I didn’t LOVE it, but I did like it. Now you may think that is...
Pros: Capra type film with an incredible performance by Jim Carrey Cons: Feel good movie that will deter many viewers from watching
When I think of the movies and the most memorable ones that have made an impression on me, I always seem to come back to two classics by Jimmy Stewart – Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Pros: A handful of interesting scenes... Cons: ...surrounded by sap. Bring your toothbrush.
While it’s not one of the worst movies of the year, The Majestic certainly ranks among the most disappointing. Given the impressive (and usually reliable) skills of Jim Carrey and Frank Darabont, we should expect more than this shallow, painfully...
Pros: story; message; performances Cons: tries a little too hard for the Oscar in some places
Less than a decade ago, Jim Carrey was moving his butt cheeks to give the illusion that his behind was talking. Nowadays, the only things of his that are moving are his performances.
Pros: Elegantly crafted; solid performances. Cons: Tries too hard to jerk tears and create drama.
There’s a moment nearly halfway through The Majestic where Jim Carrey’s Lucas walks into the empty rundown theater his father owns. Running up there on the big screen, there in the quiet save for the sound of the rolling projector, is a silent...
Pros: a good solid movie by Jon Carrey Cons: the pacing of the movie isen't to great, not a comedy.
I got the Majestic a while ago when I found it at a dirt cheap price and bought it. I like Jim Carrey movies despite knowing that this wasn’t a comedy. I watched it and I found it kind of charming, it’s a shame Carrey earn the reputation of a clown, ...
Pros: Jim Carrey has good taste in cars (in the movie). Cons: Surprisingly Boring!
This is a movie about Jim Carrey's character right? Right. So you expect it to be funny. But he is not, not at all, in-fact quite the opposite. The movie takes place in 1951, Jim Carrey, known as 'some name that I can't remember', and then ...
Pros: Well, uh, the theater atmosphere had 77% nitrogen and 22% oxygen. Cons: listing them all in under 15 words would destabilize the universe.
This interminable piece of neo patriotic swill starts slow, stumbles badly after starting slow, wanders aimlessly and goes nowhere interesting. Manipulative to the core, this movie violates at least three or four Movie Commandments.
