Hunt for the Wilderpeople - 7.5/10.

A lot of fun. The kid is actually quite great. Kiwis have a great sense of humour.

Perhaps my TV was having a bad day. Or maybe my vision was blurry but this movie takes the award for the worst visual effects in history. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Such injustice done to such a historic event is an utter crime in itself. Acting was putrid as well. Well I shouldn't have expected anything special with Mario Van Peebles directing lol. I would give this a miss for sure. A shark infested ⭐️ one measly star from me

Stunning. Breathtaking. Incredible. The most amazing CG ever. Loved every minute of it. Voiceovers were impressive as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️solid CG encrusted stars from me. Well worth a casual watch

Meh. It looks like a typical 'amazing CG but ****ty story' movie. Basically every Final Fantasy movie. Advent Children also had great CG but damn the story was forgotten almost immediately.

I'll give it a go some time regardless.

I watched a few others and this time the CG and VFX were truly stunning. Story was so so (as per these types of movies). If u have a decent HT setup and watch in DTS 7.1 MA it's a real feast for the ears and eyes

Yeah, that's the one.
I enjoyed it more the second time round.

I've watched it 4 times and I love it more and more each time. Great performances. Awesome cast. Love the camera work. Top notch directing. Only thing I didn't like was Colin Farrell trying to overact his role. Wasn't natural at all. Jamie Foxx on the other hand was brilliant.

Yeah, Michael Mann knows a thing or two about cinematography. Vice wasn't Heat or Collateral, but it was good.
