It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Blistering performances.

The film incorporates ancient beliefs about life. We are all connected by light. We turn into stars when we die. There is one miracle in all of us.The gods/angels/demons intervene.In our tale Peter (Colin Farrell) is a thief in NYC. He leaves the dark side run by a demon Pearly (Russell Crowe) and joins the good side. Pearly works for Lucifer (Will Smith) and is after Peter who meanwhile falls in love with a pretty redhead (Jessica Brown Findlay) who is about to die from TB. Peter literally lifts her off her feet and rides off on a magical white horse. This leaves me really skeptical: Did a guy really write this? This is a slow developing story. It has several good scenes and a number of snooze scenes. I would leave out the narration which assumes the audience are idiots and work whatever ideas it gives us into the Lucifer dialog.This is a soft PG-13.

Found as a kid in a small boat, raised and trained by a very influential man, Peter spends his time robbing safes and evading the authorities. That is, until one day he meets a beautiful but dying young woman for whom he falls.It's a fantastic movie in which people strongly believe in destiny, that each person has one and he/she cannot die unless it is fulfilled. After death, people become stars and live together with their loved ones in the universe. It's dramatic and sad in its core but impresses through it's fantastic world which slowly unveils. It's a captivating atmosphere which keeps you interested throughout its entirety, but it has many moments of boredom. Also, the story is good and pretty coherent, but isn't very satisfying, a little more work regarding it could have made a lot better. Still, it's a good movie overall.

I enjoys the first half of this movie, although the romance between Peter and Beverly did feel very rushed at first (you know cliché when people fall deeply in love and first sight). I mean the guy had just met her like a day ago and was saying that he loved her so much and all this. But whatever, once I got past it's rushed beginnings their relationship was quite cute, I shipped it. I would have been happy to watch a movie that was just focused on their relationship like a normal chick flick but no. The plot was a mess of too many different aspects, it would have been a lot better if they could have just picked a plot line. Like really, they didn't need to have the whole demon mafia aspect or the weird white horse/dog thing. Although I understand this movie was based off a book however I have never read it myself, I understand that maybe they had to keep in those, in my opinion, pointless aspects to remain true to the book. However from what I've heard, fans of the book were not very impressed by this movie either. In my opinion this movie was just trying to do too much and isn't really worth your time.

Where are the awards for Winter's Tale?? This truly is the best love story I have seen...almost,ever. In my opinion, Colin Farrell should have won the award for "best actor" "best performance" of the year, hands down.The reviewers aren't even close to getting this one right. This is totally magical, the soundtrack, the photography, the story, everything was unique.One glitch I noticed (after watching it several times) was that Will Smith wasn't listed with the other stars, in the "closing credits". What happened there? For the record, I think that anyone who understands this movie, can look around at other people with a little more grace and compassion as it is possible that they could be someone's miracle. I think we need to be reminded of that more often. I recommend this film to every woman on the planet.
