It wasn't what I expected after seeing previews of the first story. But, I am glad I watched it.

Wagon train bit was heart wrenching but life is often, if not always, ultimately that way.

Great acting, interesting and intriguing stories, and beautifully filmed.

Harry Melling was brilliant as was Liam Neeson in another tragic bit Good to see Tyne Daly as well. She was great in a small part. Hell, all off the actors were great.

The last story was my favorite. Too me, it was perfection. An entire movie in itself. Many of the stories could have been their own movie.

I love watching Coen brothers' movies.

I enjoyed watching it, but damn there were a lot of absolutely asinine moments and ridiculous events.

I knew it was going to be stupid going in, so I told myself to ignore all the stupidity and enjoy the movie.

Parts were good. Statham is always fun to watch, and the other leads were quite good, except the actress who played his daughter. Maybe not her fault, maybe her dialogue and and her role in the film.

The Megs were actually well done as well as the other critters. And the action was quite fun at the beginning. And the overall production values were quite good to excellent.

Parts were amusing, the dislogue was mostly fun. But, it kept getting more and more ridiculous. Both the stunts and the actions characters takes.

For example, three Megs were chomping up tourists in a harbor. Meanwhile, his daughter was in a life guard tower watching the events in horror. She spots a lady struggling 100 feet offshore. She apparently has time to climb down the 40 foot tower, get to the beach, find a surfboard, paddle out to the women before she drowns or gets eaten by one of the ravenous Megs. And of course they don't chomp her as well.

The way he kills the Megs is preposterous, but fun if you can manage to overlook how preposterous.

It's hard to do, very hard to do. If you like Sharknado movies, this is a couple steps above those:)

I don't know what the critics who gave this poor reviews watched. Ewan McGregor did a great job. As do Albert Finley. I loved how they matched reality to the stories the dad told.

I found it very moving, amusing, clever and unique. If you have an imagination and heart, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie. I think kids should all see it, it will give them more compassion and understanding of those who think and look different.

The actor who played the giant died too young and will be missed.

The direction was great as were the costumes and visuals. It was just a delight to watch. I need to put it in the queue to watch again.

Way too much CGI. It's overwhelming and distracting. Probably just as well because the dialogue was poor.

The actor who played Kang was the only good thing about the movie. However, he has to be one of the dumbest 'supervillains' on screen.

Why didn't he just take off their suits when he had captured them? Or even just kill them. But no, he had to 'Doctor Evil' it.

In addition, the idea he didn't notice a million fricken ants in his domain is absurd.

Further, why he could build that huge empire but couldn't figure out how to shrink the power source without her is also absurd.

And Kang was somehow able to get away from a million ants, but couldn't beat Paul Rudd in a fight.

The dialogue was atrocious and making Michael Douglas look young was well done, but disturbing in an odd way.

I feel it actually made me dumber for having watched it.

Wahlburg did an incredible job. Unfortunately, he won't be recognized for it as critics hate religious movies.

While some details in the movie are not accurate, the salient points are.

His brother died very young, he became baptized at his girlfriend's request, after a brutal accident he decided to become a priest, he developed a rare and devastating muscle disease, he had a crisis of faith but overcame it the church balked at ordaining him, but ultimately relented. He became a parrish priest but his body kept deteriorating. He ultimately went to a nursing home where parishioners visited him in great numbers.

You don't have to believe a lick in God to recognize the bravery this man showed in achieving his goals, and while dealing with a devastating issue.

If his choice wasn't to become a priest, rather a football coach, or some such, we'd see Oscar mentions.

Critics need to look passed their animosity toward religion and judge a movie on what it is.

This really happened to this man.

I am a big Sandra Bullock fan. And I like Channing Tatum as well. Both are very likable actors.

The movie was enjoyable, but the romance was a bit forced and not very believable.

His transition from a bumbling ditz to a hero is also a big stretch.

But, the acting is good. Radcliffe makes an surprisingly good, bad guy, and all three stars Bullock give 100 percent.

It's worth the watch, I probably expected too much. I may actually enjoy it more the second time not having any preconceptions. It did have some very good scenes, amusing as well as poignant. A few too many eye rollers though.

It simply didn't have the charm of Romancing the Stone, in great part because the romance between the leads was not believable. She is a good looking woman, but not such that someone like him would be enfatuated with. Nor was she particularly charming or nice, to make up for it. At all in fact.

I loved this movie. I laughed out loud at a number scenes. It isn't meant to be taken seriously. Ringo and Dennis Quaid were great. It had a simple but fun plot. Lyle Alzado in his prime made a great big bully. Barbara Bach id of course a looker. Shelly along looked good as well. Nice job by her. A scene of them singing was catchy and clever.

The bug landing on Ringo's face was a great scene. And the stoned T-Rex wax worth a good laugh.

If you enjoy a bit of slapstick you will have enjoy this movie.

Dang, have they increased the number of characters necessary? My ADHD is already kicking in.

People giving this 1s or 2s are missing the point or taking it way too seriously.
