ellenry-238-109280 Disappointing They lost me right off the bat with the 2014 clothes and hair especially the current "I forgot to shave" that is so popular now, would have never happened in 1929 and certainly not within the circles he was supposed to be circulating in. Why do they allow this crap? The plot was predictable and overall pretty lame

POGO (PogoNeo) Interesting story. Beautiful shots of nature. A look at how the inland of US was build. Details in scenography. Real tensions between characters. Etc.Unfortunately this movie is just too good to be so good right down to its end. I simply breaks down in the finale. Sadly, there is this switch from high quality to a somewhat lower level of movie-making for the last 20 minutes or soAnd of course there is the problem of Bradley Cooper- the performer with capabilities adequate for TV chopping channel, who somehow became an successful actor. He plays the main male character, annoying the viewers with his presence. What a bummer this is

SnoopyStyle It's 1929 Smokey Mountains in Carolina. George Pemberton (Bradley Cooper) runs a logging company obsessed with hunting a panther. After the recent crash, the bank takes his land in Brazil as collateral. He falls for Serena (Jennifer Lawrence) and quickly marries her. Sheriff McDowell (Toby Jones) wants to buy up his land and turn it into parkland. There is disloyalty, murder, pressure, miscarriage and ultimately destruction.The problems start with how quick Lawrence and Cooper get together. They're married before the audience is settled down. The chemistry never has a chance because the filmmaker assumes it without setting it up. This is a passionate romantic melodrama but the movie is utterly flat. Lawrence becomes a modern female heroine but then she turns again. It's a pretty looking film but emotionally detached.

riekondoh-116-326404 The book was so well written, but the movie butchered it. This movie script was apparently just written so everyone could watch these two main actors make out some more. They have zero chemistry here. It's absolutely mind boggling how bad this movie really was.After watching, I thought maybe it should have been billed as some kind of satire. The acting was pathetic, the accents were pathetic and I'm not even sure what the point of the story was. One star for the mountain shots.Read the book if you want a great story. It's one of my favorites. This movie is the epitome of the narcissism that runs rampant in Hollywood. They completely miss the point of the story because they think more Jen Lawrence/Bradley Cooper screen time means more $$$. If you want to watch something tonight there are so many other great choices on this site. Save this one for the dustbin.
