A Masterpiece!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Michael Caine is in this movie. If you hate him as much as I do, you dont have to read any further. But if that doesnt stop you the following will. A forgettable sequel to the forgettable Journey to the center of the earth with Brendan Fraser. A guy I miss in movies these days, this time replaced by the otherwise good Dwayne Johnson. As out of place here as his grotesque body that make Arnold Schwarzenegger look puny in comparison. And hearing him say heck several times, because this a kids movie, just feels wrong. He needs to stick to do actionmovies for an older audience. Worst moment is when he takes out that tiny guitar (that hottie Vanessa Hudgens carry around for most of the movie for no reason at all) and he starts to sing/play his own version of "What a wonderful world". And he does so because Sean (ineptly played by the awful actor Josh Hutcherson) is in physical pain and they have no painkillers. This is an actual scene. The cgi is bad in many scenes. Including a scene where Sean falls of a giant bee and instead of having a stuntman do the fall, they replace him with a fake looking cgi-Sean defying the laws of physics, as he tumbles forward after falling. Also the actress Anna Colwell is credited but never appears in the movie. What the hell?? Almost as bad as Indiana Jones 4. But with a much smaller budget.
I know this may seem stupid to most people, but not to someone that rides a motorcycle. The sounds of the motorcycle that appears in the very beginning of the movie are sounds from a crotch-rocket. When the motorcycle that the guy is riding is a dual purpose motorcycle which basically sounds like a dirt bike. This is just something to look after while making a movie, at least ask someone what that motorcycle sounds like. I think this is a great movie, but these are just the kind of things that make certain people that a movie is not good or that the people making that movie don't know what they are doing. I hope the motorcycle riders understand. Anyways this is just my opinion.THANKS
It took me three days to finish this movie and if not for the fact that I was bored out of my mind I wouldn't have watched it past the first twenty minutes. I was bored yet I would pause it for hours, why, because it was a lot more boring than my own boredom and only succeeded in adding to my frustration. The story line is bogged, and the acting mediocre. The only redeemable feature was the CGI used. Nice graphics. But even that didn't last long as the island was doomed to sink. The actors tried too hard to be funny or mad. I couldn't understand the animosity between Dyawne Johnson and Michael Caine. It felt forced. Josh and Vanessa also didn't have a good chemistry. Luis Guzman talked to much and wasn't funny at all. This movie may be for kids but I doubt if they would even like it.
They say there is nothing stranger than folk, and reading some truly negative reviews on here proves it.I thought this movie was delightful, the special effects were superb.This film had humour and adventure, and the cast played it well.I am not a reader of books, but am now tempted to read the titles mentioned in this film.The great writers of the past, lent to the imagination, just as this movie does.Its basically a light heart frothy romp, centered round Jules Verne's 19th-century novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island again a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1874.Take your kids to see this film, you wont regret it.
