Edvis-1997 Why there are so many bad reviews with 1/10 ratings like srsly? So they're literally saying that's the worst what can be? I really liked this movie yah maybe I didn't see equilibrum or 1966 film but this movie was rly enjoyable.

chicago85 Neither this film nor the earlier movie is as good as a plagiarized TV version from 1957. In 1957 Playhouse 90 aired a play called "The Sound of Different Drummers. It starred Sterling Hayden and a top notch cast directed by John Frankenheimer. The next day Ray Bradbury received a deluge of calls from his friends. He was not given credit, paid or asked permission to use his work. It included the big scene of a woman preferring to burn to death surrounded with her book collection. There was nothing about DNA nor an injected bird. John Ireland played Hayden's supervisor in the Fire Department. Diana Lynn played the woman who introduces Hayden to book reading from books seized by the department to be burned, This new version is really bad from every aspectHe was outraged and sued CBS. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and he won and collected damages. I still remember most of the plot. Montag shared an apartment with another fireman and was a bachelor and was not married to Julie Christie living in a house. He walked into the apartment the first time and his roommate was watching the Tokyo Dodgers win the World Series on a flat screen TV in the wall. Montag was under a death sentence at the end and refused to make a deal or agree to a jailbreak by the underground. He had become disillusioned by both sides.Bradbury wrote a 30 page document on the plagiarism. It was estimated 80% was Bradbury's work with 20% Hollywood jacking around like they do with other people's work.

andreea-21632 The plot absolutely dull from start to finish, nothing to do with the book at all. What a shame...

rob-lentini Apparently the book is great, I'm sceptical. The movie storyline was ridiculous, the acting poor. Absolute rubbish.
