I know what you mean. I liked it less than I thought I would too. It's full of good ideas though.
Great movie. With situations that go beyond the realistic, it is a funny and very inteligent movie.
Far better than I remember it being when I first saw it. Crazy as fuck in the best possible way.
Geniale. Un film che ha una delle idee più forti che mi sia mai capitato di vedere in un film e riesce a emozionare, a commuovere e a far ridere.
One of the most strange and fascinating movies that i saw. Spike Jonze, one of my favourites directors gives to the audience an complete "indie" excelent film
This film would be worthless with out the theological questions it raises. A new type of possession! Not by the Devil and hid daemons, but other men, and women. They, for some reason must fight over the miserable corps of John Malkovich. Why are they not happy in their own skin? And where is God in all this? In the punishment!!!
I enjoyed this in theaters 13 years ago. Re-watching the new Criterion Edition tonight really drove home how BRILLIANT it still is. I haven't particularly enjoyed anything else Spike has directed since this, except "ADAPTATION" and that wasn't as strong as this. I'm really glad Charlie Kaufman is directing his own insanely good scripts now (o hai "SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK").
I just love the atmosphere around the characters, something so obscenely normal about it. Great.
One of my favorite movies ever. I watched it a for the billionth time on the airplane last night, and I was still blown away by how incredible this film is.
The idea was great at the start, but... everything goes downhill later on... such a waste of a story.
this is some kind of really really crazy shit that mess with your brain sometimes
I can't believe the creator of Jackass directed this. This strange magical realist fable was quite delightful and entertaining if not a tad pretentious. I enjoyed it, though, it's a great deal of fun; especially when Malkovich sees himself.
it's a very interesting movie & also a nice idea - i totally prefered the second half of the movie & the absolute best scene is, when Malkovich is seeing himself..!
