AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
maureen-hitschfeld Horrible book adaptation. How could this content pass the intellectual property of the book's title and the author. No respect.
chicago85 Neither this film nor the earlier movie is as good as a plagiarized TV version from 1957. In 1957 Playhouse 90 aired a play called "The Sound of Different Drummers. It starred Sterling Hayden and a top notch cast directed by John Frankenheimer. The next day Ray Bradbury received a deluge of calls from his friends. He was not given credit, paid or asked permission to use his work. It included the big scene of a woman preferring to burn to death surrounded with her book collection. There was nothing about DNA nor an injected bird. John Ireland played Hayden's supervisor in the Fire Department. Diana Lynn played the woman who introduces Hayden to book reading from books seized by the department to be burned, This new version is really bad from every aspectHe was outraged and sued CBS. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and he won and collected damages. I still remember most of the plot. Montag shared an apartment with another fireman and was a bachelor and was not married to Julie Christie living in a house. He walked into the apartment the first time and his roommate was watching the Tokyo Dodgers win the World Series on a flat screen TV in the wall. Montag was under a death sentence at the end and refused to make a deal or agree to a jailbreak by the underground. He had become disillusioned by both sides.Bradbury wrote a 30 page document on the plagiarism. It was estimated 80% was Bradbury's work with 20% Hollywood jacking around like they do with other people's work.
richard-c-harrisii This movie could have been exponentially greater had they not cast Michael B. Jordan as Montag. MBJ portrayal of this character was so bad that no matter how good of an actor Michael Shannon is, there was no saving this movie. Sad really, because this is such an amazing story from Ray Bradbury and the failure of this rendition means we probably won't get to see an updated version for years to come. This is definitely a don't waste your time watching type of movie, just a let down in every way. How the heck does Michael B. Jordan keep getting work. He literally ruins everything he is in.
mawdawg73 Best part was the beautiful flocks of birds at the end. Which had nothing to do with the original book or film.
