Meh. Script was overlong. More glorification of hyper-stylized violence. Lots of sitting and talking. The characters are too simplistic for my taste. It feels redundant. In its favor, some deaths are very unexpected (in their timing). Loved "Pulp" and "Dogs", I always feel mixed about the rest of his canon. Perhaps I will be wrong - the still of Leo at least is awesome. Even I can admit that.

Editing, cinematography, music - gorgeous. Really aesthetically pleasing environments/sets. Some great moments (one-take subway brawl), a strong lead performance. Story-wise, there's a number of inconsistencies, and the final reveal feels silly and lazily inserted.

Photo looks nothing like her!

trailer was magic - felt like going back into the world of middle earth I have such fond memories of.

I expected something melancholy, ponderous, tragic. But it made me swell with joy and happiness and a gratitude for my life.

I think I laughed, maybe twice. Billy Murray is still the dude though.

I love the trailers for all his movies - they make them look to be the fizziest, goofiest, most fun movies... and the end product never actually is.

Only good part - random flash cuts of Watson drunk dancing with gypsies. Silly and enjoyable, whereas the rest of the film just made absolutely no sense.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of the hero failing to kill the prime antagonist multiple times for no discernible reason whatsoever.

For me, everything movies aren't these days. Challenging. Not an adaptation but an original, designed to be a film, script. A film anchored by a vivid female character, and more than that, an anti-heroic one. Writing, performance, direction, photography all anchor this one equally and as such, it isn't, as many films are, just a book told in pictures, but something only achievable in its medium. More please.

Pure fizzy fun - I had the biggest, goofiest smile from start through credits.

Mythical, surreal, mysterious, oh and that soundtrack! I am in love with this movie.

"I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility, and murder."

a movie about a "playboy" who woos one woman and supposedly a few others, off screen. opening scene is awesome, the rest is a downright bore.

Want to say something intelligent, but just can't. Saw it a week ago, still thinking about it. David Thewlis' role = one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Hey! A mainstream comedy with wit, star acting, and intelligence in the department of script, pacing and character. Where are these blockbusters today?

Cast was awesome, Gosling in particular can sell any role and any situation, but so many things (primarily third act moments) were cringe-worthy and operated under left field logic. Some great and genuinely insightful moments and some that just stretch credibility (Marisa Tomei's flip out was way, way over the top and I couldn't buy it at all. Subtler would've been funnier there)

A lot to enjoy and a lot to roll one's eyes at. Far more bearable than "First Class".

Why did guards keep shooting at a man who clearly was unaffected by bullets? Why did one of them fire a ROCKET LAUNCHER INSIDE?!

I can say it now. The best way for me to sum this up is so many "BUT WHY?" moments. I just kept asking why everyone was motivated to do what they were doing, why certain things happened at certain locations, why certain creative decisions were made, and none of it was ever explained to me. Here's a sample: Beast has constructed Cerebro without ever having met Charles Xavier, or knowing telepaths exist. WHY?

"YEAH SCIENCE!"

This is pure imagination! It's inspired, amazingly funny and ultimately kind of terrifying. I loved it!

"You're surrealists!"

how many times is the still going to change?! That said, I quite like the new one!

90-some minutes of comic genius, but the literal last 30 seconds add an uncharacteristic, bullshit Hollywood ending. WHY?

It couldn't be anything other than a film. I love that like TWBB the opening, middle/majority, and conclusion of the film are total contrasts in tone, logic, and method, yet somehow congeal into something cohesive. Pretentious and melodramatic and utterly magical.

Well-intended, moments of greatness, but largely fails to use opportunity for multiple perspective and the ending appears contrived.

I'm sick of the phrase "overrated". What a pointless thing to say. 5 stars - authentic feel for dialect, place and character; wonderful details; sustained sense of genuine danger; captivating lead. Nice to see a plum role for a woman that isn't focused on her looks or relationships to men. Emotional without forcing itself.

I don't remember a single thing that happened in this film...

2 stars for the opening scene alone - it's pitch perfect, and the whole movie dies once Short Round is introduced. Not to say he's the only problem but...
