George Thomas

I don't know what to make of this film. The book was so much better. The earlier film may have been so much better. The ending seems to ruin the movie for me.

It is so bad it is fun to watch.

This is not a movie for people addicted to adrenaline bang bang superhero nonsense. This is for people who have some sense of themselves and what life can be like for some of us.

A person without faith might actually be moved by the priest's messages. Then as the vampires sang Nearer My God To Thee, this atheist recalled his days in Baptist Church and the power of that tune moved me. The ambivalence in much of the movie caused me to hesitate about its message. Could it actually lead people to Faith? Sometimes all of the sophomoric discussion bored me to tears. Young people can be interested in such philosophical rambling, but an old guy like myself who knows that such rambling has nothing to do with the emotions that drive all human actions and thoughts, it was boring.

I liked the movie. At times it reminded me of Federico Fellini.

I think Eastwood did not know what he wanted to achieve in this movie. The jumping back and forth in time lost my interest. I was disappointed in the structure.

Silly show. Many of us in those days were busy fighting a war or trying to stop the war, end Jim Crow and foster civil rights to watch such a truly mindless show. However, I do recall catching one or two episodes.
