I saw this a week ago. I was suppossed to see it for a big newspaper article on the Oscars and a friend of mine was suppossed to write the review, but she already had an article on the same page (and, our rules won't allow two articles by the same author on the same page). So, we ended up doing a split job. The deadline was actually Monday night, so we had roughly an hour to crack a 250-300 word review out. I think it turned out decently.

EDIT: Deleted the review. If you want to see it, PM me. Sorry!

NOTE: We both loved it. But, please, try to refrain from thinking of Michael Jackson while watching it. Depp does have a little fetish for the boys in this film, and, with a name like "Finding Neverland", it can't help but remind you of Mr. Jackson.

Hmm, posted a review elsewhere. I will find it later. The film was very good, though. One of the year's best. A-/B+

Definately one of the best films of the year. A-

Are you still searching?

its not playing anywhere near me!!!!!!!!

I was slow getting into the movie, but after I did, it's a magical ride. Freddie Highmore gave the best performance as Peder, while Johnny Depp's subtle performance may be harder to appreciate but nonetheless tremendous. The story is very touching, and I had tears in my eyes toward the end. A-.

OMG What a great movie! I cried so hard! its so well done A+

Excellent movie!

A+

No. lol! Forget it. It was a really, really stellar movie. At this point, I can say it deserves an A- for being pretty damn good. I loved the performances (the only reason it isn't an A+ is because the begining is a little bit too slow. I still enjoyed it immensly)

I was really deeply moved by this movie. How Forster played the story out totally got me. And it probably helped that you had such a stellar all-around cast. Johnny Depp was amazing and Freddie Highmore put on one of the best child performances in recent memory. Another great element was the editing and the cinematography. How Forster combined the realistic and the fantasy sequences (for example the dancing bear) was just awesome. (A-)

Finding Neverland - 7.5/10.

Oh man, this is what kills me. Movies where at first when I walk out I like them a lot, but the more I analyze them the worse my opinion gets. That and the film being rather over-rated only helps. When I walked out I'd have said B+, now I'm thinking about B-. It was entertaining, but too bland and safe for my tastes.

This movie blew me away. The entire cast give incredible performances and the kids are just outstanding. I've never been so close to crying in a movie in my life. Definitly an A

Very good, but terribly overrated. In no way does it deserve to be nominated for a boatload of Oscars, but...whatever. Johnny Depp is quietly impressive, Kate Winslet is somewhat heartbreaking and Freddie Highmore is terrific. However, this is one of those movies that is so sugary sweet and so obviously designed to make you tear up that I was a bit disgruntled. B+/B

You heartless robot

I agree completely, except I would say A- instead of a B. I just don't see why this movie is getting all this accalim.

I'm just going to give this a bump since I got a DVD screener, I'll put thoughts up later.

A beautiful film. Johnny Depp is great in the movie, not worthy of an Oscar nomination but I don't mind. Winslet and Highmore also gave fine performances.

- A-

Wonderful movie. It was a bit slow at the beginning but that didn't bothered me. I loved Depp's and Winslet's performances here. The children actors were very good too. A/A-

i love the movie i saw it few days ago. Johnny Depp again delivering his another great performances. it was an amazing movie. totally outstanding. one of the best movie i've ever seen. A grade for FN

love your from hell av. Depp was very hot as Fred Abberline

thanks


:razz:

its one of his best looking roles.

Just got the DVD, will watch it again as soon as i can, i gave this film an A- on first viewing, i doubt that will change.
