Good movie but grossly overrated

Fantastic!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I only singed in to rate this movie 1/10 stars. I just lost 2 hours of my life. It's overly "art" idea made this good idea into a series of cut scenes which are put together bad and make no goddamn sense! This damn movie is for tumblr nerds and overthinking snowflakes! Better watch Mad Max,at least it has a plot!!!!!!!!!!! So fucking REGRETS!!!!!

If you are currently watching "Twin Peaks" on Showtime and are a little confused then you should watch "Fire Walk With Me". As much as I am enjoying some of the new episodes of "Twin Peaks" it is a little strange!I know people that have never seen the show before are saying one thing "What the Hell"? I can't blame them because the show seems to be catering to the die hard fans of the show. Most of all it is catering to people that know and remember every character from not only the show but the film "Fire Walk With Me". Now I was always a fan of the television show. I was mad that the show had ended with a cliffhanger. I was happy to hear that "Fire Walk With Me" was coming. A year later when it was released I was shocked that it did not solve the television cliffhanger however I did enjoy the film. I thought it was strange but very good. Fans of the show hated "Fire" because most the cast from the television show were not featured. It also din't help that the film was too violent for some fans. In the television show it was about "Who killed Laura Palmer. "Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me" The film was about why she murdered. I will admit the film is very confusing. The GREEN RING was a new element that was never mentioned in the television show. Also what was really annoying to me was that the murder of Laura slightly differs from what we were told on the television show. In the television show we are told (Through Waldo the Bird) that Laura kept saying "Leo No" and that Laura had a poker chip in her stomach. These events are not shown in "Fire". The assembly cut of the film was rumored to have run over 5 hours. When the the film was released it ran 135 minutes. Most of all the film did not resolve the cliffhanger from the television show. Before the film was released in the USA it Premiered at the "Cannes Film Festival" and it was booed. Now I am not sure if they saw a different version of "Fire" but the film was panned everywhere. This was a shock to David because the pilot to the television show was "The Best Reviewed" television pilot of all time. Well most fans had herd before "Fire's" release was that there was many cut scenes that featured the television cast. For years the fans were hoping that those scenes would turn up somewhere. BE it an extended television cut of the film or a special edition on home video. After all in 1984 David Lynch directed the film "Dune". A few years later when the film when shown on television it had about an hour of never before seen footage so hopes were high that this would be the case for "Fire" but that never happened until 2014 when David Lynch finally released the deleted footage. This was 22 years after the film was released. However these scenes were not edited back into the film. David Lynch likes the theatrical cut of "Fire" so he did not want to tamper with it. However fans did and someone who goes by Q2 made a great edit that included the deleted scenes and in reality it is a better film however, it does run 3 1/2 hours! Best News is that it does solve the cliffhanger from the television show! What is strange is that for a fan edit is that it runs smoother than the theatrical edition. The original theatrical version is shorter but seems longer! Now there is a few scenes that were re- edited back in that were not needed. On the plus side the fan edit does improve the viewers vision on the problems that Laura had to face in the last 7 days of her life! If you ever get the chance to see this edit it is worth watching, It makes "Fire" a masterpiece!

This is a very good film. When David Lynch re-released his original cut in 1992 there was over an hour of footage that was edited out of the final cut. For years fans were begging to see this footage. Then after 22 years "David Lynch" did release them. They are refereed to as "The Missing Pieces". As nice as it was to see these scenes they were not edited back into the film. I just watched the Q2 fan edit for the first time and it was GREAT!!!It made "Fire Walk With ME" more complete. I have seen the original version many times and still enjoyed even if it didn't make too much sense! THE Q2 fan edit makes the whole film make sense. The Q2 fan edit reinserts the missing pieces and places them in the order in which they appeared in the screenplay. Also restored is a countdown. It tells you how many days Laura Palmer has left to live. Now upon watching this fan edit you can full understand why David Lynch cut them. However he should have left in all the Theresa Banks Footage. He also she have kept in the David Bowie scenes.The fan edit runs about 3.5 Hours. If your a fan of season 3 of "Twin Peaks" then you must see the fan edit!

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is the prequel to the Twin Peaks TV show, which depicts the last 7 days in the life of Laura Palmer. Twin Peaks was an awesome show and the upcoming revival is something to anticipate hugely. The film is a different thing. It's darker and more adult, the wonderful theme tune from the program only appears once, many of the characters from the show, including Dale Cooper, are barely in it and this overall is far more of a horror film. If you thought the TV show was baffling, wait until you see this. It's a hugely confusing film with many things that feel rushed or incomplete, while not only does Dale Cooper get completely marginalized, but he seems more subdued than he was before. The subtle explanation of what happened in the series finale is appreciated though. The film is as brilliantly made as one would expect from David Lynch, and is filled to the brim with his deliriously insane cinematic skill. It's a disturbing film as well, and despite its craziness perhaps what it truly is in the end is a surreal examination of the trials and difficulties of adolescence. Still, as a film, it feels incomplete, overly open and too many characters from the show are either missing or reduced to distantly seen cameos. Sheryl Lee is good as Laura Palmer, but some of the other acting, especially Moira Kelly as Donna Hayward, is really bad. This is undoubtedly a flawed effort, but it's an underrated and interesting movie that still has plenty to say. 7/10
