inamaxmoore Absolutely loved it! This film takes you to a place that some of us wished we could be...at least it does for us hopeless romantics. To sum it up, Robert Pattinson, his drive & will to want to make good movies...well, let's just say, he definitely made this one! Cheers to him for being the passionate actor he is! Keep'em coming!
saletehnolog A great movie. A very touching scene, especially the last one in which Rose Rose rescues the life of Marlene. In these two hours you will have the opportunity to see suffering, anger, love. You will have the opportunity to see the pure madness of the owner of Circus Augustus, his inhuman behavior towards both humans and animals. In certain situations, tension will permeate the head of your being, and in other moments you will be relaxed.8,2/10
adonis98-743-186503 Set in the 1930s, a former veterinary student takes a job in a traveling circus and falls in love with the ringmaster's wife. Water For Elephants in my opinion is one of the most underrated films about love and animals that i feel people didn't get it's half a romance tale and the other half is a movie about a young teenager called Jacob played by Robert Pattinson who feels connected next to an elephant called Rosie but at the same time on that same Circus he fells in love with Marlena played by Reese Witherspoon who did a great job in this film and as always the villain is played by Christoph Waltz who gave an amazing performance just like the whole cast of this film. The movie also has a lot of beautiful shots and Hal Holbrook as an older Jacob was also a thing that worked perfectly telling the whole story and i found the ending to be very sad but then again i should have expected that to happen. Francis Lawrence is a great director and movies such as this totally shows that.
rps-2 After choosing a war picture and a satire, both of which my wife hated, I said "You pick it tonight, dear." She selected "Water For Elephants" on Netflix for no good reason other than the interesting title. Well! I was prepared to pick up a book or do a crossword while she watched it. Wrong! It was one of the best films I've seen this year. Fascinating story. Great performances. Superb atmosphere. Top notch cinematography. There's some violence and some sex. But neither is gratuitous or excessive. Do you like the circus? You'll love this. Do you like trains? You'll love this. Do you like period pieces? You'll love this. In short, an exceptional and engrossing film.
