Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Clevercell Very disappointing...

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Console best movie i've ever seen.

HotToastyRag If I weren't honoring Anthony Quinn as Hot Toasty Rag's Star of the Week, I never would have sat through The Old Man and the Sea. As it was, I had to give myself a manicure and a pedicure while watching it just to save my sanity by not giving the movie my full attention. I'm not really a Hemingway fan anyway, and this story is far from my favorite. In it, an old man goes out to sea to try and catch a fish, even though everyone tells him he's too old. He's out there for months, waiting to catch a fish, talking to himself and annoying the pants off the audience. As a side plot, that I supposed was written to help audiences not start screaming-but for me, it had the opposite effect-Gary Cole and Patricia Clarkson are on-again, off-again lovers in town who sometimes talk about Anthony Quinn's futile boat trip but mostly talk about their very boring struggle between needing to find themselves and wanting to stay together. Gary just didn't know what to do with the terrible lines he was given, and Patricia did her usual delivery of, "In using an annoying monotone, I'm actually showing how profound these words are." Then of course, there's the young boy, Alexis Cruz, who idolizes and believes in Anthony Quinn, even though he really has no reason to. If you actually like this story, feel free to disregard my review. Perhaps this is a very well done version, but since I can't stand it, it drove me crazy. I didn't like Moby Dick either. I preferred All is Lost. There's much better acting, hardly any talking, and no irritating side plots.

lmiller_10 This was not a film worthy of Tony Quinn. It pales when compared with the Spencer Tracy version. The Quinn effort did not follow the book except a little. People were brought in for some unknown reason who were not in the book and didn't add anything to the story line. The original was a LOT better and followed the book almost to the letter. I realize that the original version was become hard to find, but I bet a look on ebay, Google, or Amazon would turn up a copy. I think that you would really enjoy it. I have a copy of the original Spenser Tracy version and plan to watch it with the book in hand to see how close it is to the book

elyria106 Warning: Movie Details revealed:I'm a freshmen student who watched the movie Old Man And The Sea I think the movie's graphics weren't all that good. The plot was good, but the graphics were horrible. Every thing looked fake, especially the marlin. Other than that the movie was good. They didn't make many changes, and the changes they did make, made the movie better not worse. The actors did their job pretty good and they were convincing. For example when the old man was out to sea looking for the fish and talking to himself he was saying things with a lot of feeling. Or the part when he was saying that he had to kill the fish even though he loved it and respected it. Then when he was asking himself if it was right to kill the fish he put enough real emotion in there to convince the person watching that he was actually there. The actors looked like I imagined they would look. Except one, the daughter Angela. They stuck to the book and how they said stuff and what they said so it was actually a good book in terms of the plot, if you can get over the fake graphics than it's a fairly good movie.

caseychaseme I had to watch this movie in high school as an assignment and I thought the movie 'The Old Man and the Sea' was a pretty good movie. It seems like other people really don't like the movie. People find it boring and stupid and hate the dialog. I admit the dialog wasn't too good if you actually listen to it. And even though I nearly fell asleep while I was watching the movie, it didn't look like a horrible movie. They changed a few things from the version of the book I read because they gave the old man a daughter and didn't say anything about the lions on the beach. And I didn't really understand Ernest Hemingway's part in the movie except that he was there. It didn't make sense on how much the old man kept talking to himself and the fish and the birds and whatever else he spoke to.I'm not going to try and spoil the movie but I can tell you about how he went out to sea and hooked a marlin. Then came the boring parts. Then there was bleeding, struggling, cramping, hurting, eating, killing and guilt. If you watch the movie, you might see what I mean. Overall the movie was good. But I kind of had my eyes closed so I don't have any detailed parts. But my eyes were open enough to tell you the movie. That is if you like fishing, sharks and crazy old men and I'm guessing that no one likes that stuff.I don't think I said too much to tell you the whole movie and spoil everything but if you did want to know the movie, read someone else's comments.
