I love this movie so much
Best movie ever!
A Major Disappointment
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
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.
Horrible book adaptation. How could this content pass the intellectual property of the book's title and the author. No respect.
For months, I waited with anticipation for HBO's adaptation of my favorite book Fahrenheit 451 to make its début; I was a huge fan of the book-obviously seeing as it's my favorite-and I also quite enjoyed the first 1996 movie adaptation when my teacher shared it with our class in 2011. Naturally, the 1996 lacked a few things, but seeing as the technological capabilities were limited then compared to what we have now that is to be expected, so when I heard HBO was doing an updated movie I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to see all of the things that had had to be left out in the 1996 version and when it popped up on my Hulu account to watch I was definitely excited...until I turned the movie on.The cast wasn't anything close to the characters in the novel, nor were the personalities that they portrayed onscreen. The story itself-to me at least-seemed to be changed and even dumbed down for the audience of todays generation and that saddened me alone. I could have stomached most of the movie if they had stayed true to the original plot. To me they have utterly destroyed one of my favorite books.Long story short, if you genuinely love the book and want to see it come to life on the big screen, don't watch this. If you're looking for an action/thriller sort if thing that seems to barely have a decent storyline and you've never read the book, then you're good.
Just like Ghost in the shell (2017), the filmmakers took all subtlety the book had and threw it out the window. The story is so surface level and obvious that it completely ruins the point of the book. Moreover, the story is butchered and hacked up to a point where its no longer recognizable. Clarice's role of opening Guy's eyes is completely offloaded on to Beatty, so when Guy does meet her, it feels out of no where. Also, the movie takes the story of the book and shove it all into the first 40 minutes of the movie, so when they realized they had another hour and ten to fill, they introduce this stupid plot about the "omnis" to pad for time. and finally, they blatantly rip off V for Vendetta with the scenes where Beatty is talking to the ministry. Overall, this movie is just a huge waste of an adaptation. don't really know what i expected though.
