MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

giggcarter In my late teens early twenties and somewhat with the world at my feet, an open mind, a list for adventure and travel. Very much did the beach inspire me to journey the world. A uplifting and energetic soundtrack score that mixes memories with belief and life. As we get older our innocence falls and we become a norm, Life kinda slows and we become set back and comfortable. The film shows life is for living. The natural beauty of our world is our paradise and the feeling within is our ultimate paradise. If u get the film it's all about living. Leo is fine and has developed into a tour de force actor. Tilda is super. A film that inspires adventure.

The Fresh Prince This movie was perfect from beginning to end. i literally didn't find anything wrong with it. it was dramatic, entertaining, brutal adventure. I really can't put my finger on to why this movie was panned by critics. I watched hundreds of films in the last 25 years and "the beach" is a stand out. Leonardo DiCaprio is charming as he always, the other actors and actresses are amazing as well. Actually, the whole concept of finding this community of European travelers on a deserted island in Thailand surrounded by drugs farmers was gripping and compelling. I never read the book but I'm sure it's great as well. Friends, don't listen to ignorant reviewers, some of them are just mean and the others are industry workers. Not every reviewer on the internet is legit. Enjoy the beach!

Floated2 Having not read or being familiar with the novel of which this film is based upon, I had a clear view and non-bias judgment based upon the film in a viewing. The Beach is somewhat looked upon as a forgettable or lesser known film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and a lesser Danny Boyle film. This is for obvious reasons. The film did poorly in the domestic box office but was able to make up its budget due to the foreign market (perhaps due to DiCaprio's starpower, since the Beach was his first film after Titanic). The film has an interesting premise and somewhat decent plot, but it doesn't reach the proper levels that it could have. Not knowing how much is adapted based on the novel, it is more difficult in judging. However, the film is quite bland when watching despite its scenery. It felt more so like an early MTV based film than and actual mature Danny Boyle film. Leo plays an interesting character but besides him, we don't seem to care about the rest, and that hurts the film. The final 30 minutes or so fall downhill as it becomes tiresome and tedious in a bad way.

Miles burton I just recently rewatched the beach with Leonardo DiCaprio, and it was great! I have become a very big fan of DiCaprio over the years, and a lot of people seem to think that this film wasn't one of his stronger points. I grant you, it wasn't one of his best movies, but his performance in it is mesmerising as usual. With Danny Boyle directing, we see the more exotic side to Di Caprio with him topless on the beach. It reminded me more of a James Bond style to the film (Casino Royale) with Di Caprio being Bond. DiCaprio gives a very powerful performance as Richard in the film, and shows off his skills as an Actor. The same year as this, Di Caprio was offered the role of Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho' which after turning down, then went to Christian Bale. Di Caprio took this role on instead. This film I don't think would have given as good of a performance as American Psycho would for Leo, but Leo sure gives his best, as he is very captivating every second he is on screen, with full commitment to the role!
