Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

jhaswell-27450 I don't get why people don't like this movie. It's absurd and ridiculous and a good time. Hathaway's character is a fully engaging.

rgstratis-73932 Alright, that was definitely not a comedy. Maybe an interesting concept, but nothing more. I suppose the story is a metaphor on woman emancipation, but when you push through the whole movie only because you find the leading actress attractive then you know it's a flop.

JLRVancouver Odd fantasy film about power, control, and monsters (both within and without). Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is an alcoholic, self-destructive writer who ends up returning to her small town home, where she starts hanging out with child-hood friend Oscar (Jason Sudeikis). Soon after, a giant monster appears in Seoul that seems to mirror her behaviour when she is a specific point in a playground. She is initially amused, but when her drunken cavorting results in multiple deaths, realizes that there can be disastrous consequences to thoughtless behaviour. Unfortunately, Oscar also discovers that he too can generate a giant avatar, which he uses as leverage in his increasingly abusive relationship with Gloria. The film is an enjoyable, well-acted parable despite a number of plot holes, lapses in logic, and a cast of not particularly likable characters. Don't hold your breath for an explanation, none is offered beyond a cryptic flashback sequence that connects Oscar and Gloria with the time and place of the monster manifestations. Note: Toho threatened to sue based on early descriptions of the project that implied that Gloria's kaiju would be similar to Godzilla, however, there is little resemblance other than both creatures occasionally break into dance (see 1965's "Invasion of The Astro Monster" for an example of Godzilla's moves).

josephinesmith100 For the first half of this film I was a bit puzzled/sceptical. The plot is so surreal. But as you get into it you realise how much it is about mental health and emotional abuse, you get past the fantastical and unreal plot and enjoy it for what it is.., whatever that may be! Brilliant!
