If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The Fall is simply stunning! The visuals are amazingly beautiful, the story is compelling and the acting is superb. Lee Pace proves he's more than the Piemaker from Pushing Daisies and Catinca Untaru is so refreshing and real. It may be a bit artsy for some, but I feel that this film deserves much more praise and publicity!

Visually Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" is one of the most beautiful films ever made. The credit sequence, shot in slow motion and in black and white, is breathtaking and when it goes into full colour it is never less than gorgeous. It's a kind of Arabian Nights phantasia as Lee Pace's hospital patient, (he's an injured stuntman with suicidal tendencies), tells a series of tall tales to a another patient, a little girl with a broken arm, (an enchanting Catinca Untaru), The problem is the stories are too 'adult' for children, as are the sequences set in the hospital, and too inconsequential for an adult audience. However, imagery this beautiful is rare, (Singh shot the film in a number of world-wide locations), and if there isn't much here to tax the brain, the eye is constantly dazzled. Unfortuantely, in this case, that really isn't enough.

I had huge expectations about this movie, i was looking for something epic and unique in the storyline, because the ratings and reviews were so generous (7.9), And that´s why a felt disappointed. The main argument was not clever as i though, and due the obvious lack of empathy for the imaginary characters of the narration, you expect an exceptional fictional history and a big development of the characters, but it wasn't like that. The movie has nice landscapes and the use of visual effects are excellent and very original for this kind of middle budged film. Story : 6 Visuals: 8

I found this movie accidentally after looking for the TV show the fall and i am so glad i did. The Imagery in this film are just so mesmerising combined with this unlikely array of characters and the simple yet so beautifully portrayed story make this a movie that is so great for just losing yourself in. It is so visually pleasing it doesn't even matter what the story could have been about fortunately the story as pleasing as the imagery. LOVED this film; now on my list of all time favourites.
