Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Horrible book adaptation. How could this content pass the intellectual property of the book's title and the author. No respect.

For months, I waited with anticipation for HBO's adaptation of my favorite book Fahrenheit 451 to make its début; I was a huge fan of the book-obviously seeing as it's my favorite-and I also quite enjoyed the first 1996 movie adaptation when my teacher shared it with our class in 2011. Naturally, the 1996 lacked a few things, but seeing as the technological capabilities were limited then compared to what we have now that is to be expected, so when I heard HBO was doing an updated movie I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to see all of the things that had had to be left out in the 1996 version and when it popped up on my Hulu account to watch I was definitely excited...until I turned the movie on.The cast wasn't anything close to the characters in the novel, nor were the personalities that they portrayed onscreen. The story itself-to me at least-seemed to be changed and even dumbed down for the audience of todays generation and that saddened me alone. I could have stomached most of the movie if they had stayed true to the original plot. To me they have utterly destroyed one of my favorite books.Long story short, if you genuinely love the book and want to see it come to life on the big screen, don't watch this. If you're looking for an action/thriller sort if thing that seems to barely have a decent storyline and you've never read the book, then you're good.

I love Bradbury. While my favorite is Something This Way Comes, I still love this book as well as the ainfluential works by other writers from that time period. I loved this movie - disclaimer - I do love science fiction. This was a reimagining, not a strict interpretation. Considering the fact that it was written as a dystopian futures 60+ years ago, it's natural that it will need updating. This is not a movie about censorship or government survience or mass media. This movie is about sacrifice. About the struggle each individual has to go through in deciding what they will do to make the world a better place, and then following that decision through to the mortal end. I thought the acting was believable and the end? I burst into tears.

Fahrenheit 451 for dummy. The beginning is quite good. Michael Shannon is amazing as usual, but he cannot bear the weight of this movie by himself. You don't have to watch it. You don't need to watch it. Don't watch it!
