Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

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

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

infamousme2 I'm surprised no one else mentioned this anywhere... Amd as usual, I give very bad reviews to movies that doesn't conclude or that leaves endings to unanswered questions. This movie ends with a villain no one has caught and still alive. And in my opinion, that always ruins a movie.

Tokana Hennequin Upon seeing the snapshot picture/poster for this movie, as well as the title, I decided to give it a go. At first, I wasn't too impressed; it wasn't the blockbuster I was expecting, especially with Samuel L. Jackson in it, playing the President of the United States. It was more of a movie aimed at teenagers to young adults; those who dream of meeting, even saving the President of the United States (whether you're American or not). I don't mind these kinds of movies if they're done well with a good cast.This is a family and son, coming of age kind of movie – a boy must find himself under some of the roughest and most extraordinary conditions.I must say, though, that this movie is rather predictable, and you can tell who the protagonist is going to be before he even reveals himself. Also, you can guess who's joining him in this quest.The movie was slow at first (definitely not your regular blockbuster film), but slowly picked up the pace later on in the movie. In the end, the movie went pretty quickly! Could I handle more of it? Probably not. It was timed well!Saying all this, though, it was well-made, and it was refreshing to see a movie that is not your typical Hollywood blockbuster movie, and one that does not even take place anywhere near America, as so many do! Either that, or a made-up country. The casting directors did a good job with casting the actors, as they played their parts well.My scoring went along the lines of IMDb at first, but since sticking with the movie (I'm glad I did), my score rose, as I left this movie somewhat satisfied.Would I watch this movie again? Maybe. It's for sure on my rainy-day list! Would I recommend it to other people? Yeah.If you're going to take it too seriously and point out the plot-holes or improbability of some of the things/scenes in here, instead of what it is, which is a light-hearted movie, then it's probably best you look elsewhere.

mikkopenttieinarieronen Not every movie can or even should contain a dark, deep and serious story. This kind of campy movies are needed to keep the balance, I wish they would make more of these, perhaps a bit more balanced between drama and comedy. The silly lines delivered in this movies made me smile, mission accomplished. The whole situation they got into was silly, but that is why it works.I would like to enlighten a possible reader with a few points on how this movie was deliberately shows as to "how Finland looks in American movies". First of all, that is not how Lapland really looks like. Also they were flying to Helsinki and while still above Lapland, the pilot points out they are about ~45 miles to begin the landing to Helsinki, if that were minutes instead it might be more accurate. Those small lines make the whole point of how silly this movie is, in a good way.But the interesting thing is that there is swearing and some blood and gore in the movie. I would say this movie is somewhat a nod towards all the campy action movies that display world and situations in inaccurate ways, but still make them work.I can recommend this movie to anyone who seeks a change for all the over-dark stories in movies these days we are being flooded with.It is a solid six, fun to watch, campy, ridiculous situations, must have been fun to make.

trudehell A film that is supposed to show Finland, the land of the thousand lakes, but show the German Alps and a scenery you will have an incredibly hard time finding in Finland. It's like filming a movie about Wall Street in New Dehli. The film contains one token female, the CIA director. The coming of age ritual is stupid and shallow as presented, but so are the Finns that surround the boy - except for his hero father. The mother - or other women in Finland - are never mentioned. But then again neither are the saunas, which shows how little this film is about Finland, in addition to the topographic blunder.This is a movie for boys of all ages, but it contains little of value, other than some suspension in the action scenes. I like some of the one liners, and some of the way the boy acts, but it is hard to see that a boy who starts as a weak loser who is only too aware of his short comings, can suddenly - in the middle of the German ("Finlandian") wilderness - become so street smart and over power a state leader in rhetoric and puns, and that in an English too good for a Finn hunter boy of 13.I know, this is a movie for boys, I know, and yet I would have hoped for more depth and realism, so that there was more tension and actual suspense, so that we were actually a little scared and moved emotionally. Or, the action could have been taken to an even funnier caricature, made more cartoon like and given us more laughter. As it is, the movie falls between two chairs.
