Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The movie is awesome. An inspiring movie. From the start to end, you can relate yourself to the lead character. Mr. Ben has done a very good thing by giving us this movie.Everyone wants to escape their boring life and for a guy who has taken his job seriously and with love, the pursuit for the cover is perfectly justified. I am going for a job, boring of course. I wanted to be an actor. Now I have started pushing towards the thing I love. Loved the movie.
Ben Stiller is Walter Mitty, a man who looks as if he does nothing, is nothing and is perceived as nothing. Except for during his little fantasies in which he is a hero, but during these weirds moments in which he dozes off, others write him off.Until he finds a goal in life, which puts in him adventurous situations by accident, which transform him in the man he always was. A unique individual, an adventurer, a dreamer who fulfills his dreams and finds the appreciation he needs and deserves. But the appreciation doesn't come from other, but from himself.What the movie does brilliantly, is make the watcher feel connected to Walter Mitty and feels with him. You'll find him goofy, but likable. Your respect for him will grow with every minute, and at the end of the movie, you'll love him. Maybe you even recognize your own milestone moments, mountains you have climbed, seas you have sailed, so we all are bigger than we are perceived, as long as you have that respect and confidence from within.Props to Ben Stiller. Jim Carrey had his Truman Show, Will Ferrel had his Stranger Than Fiction. Ben Stiller's Walter Mitty should be in that group.
This movie has changed my life. Back in Turkey I wasn't even thinking about going abroad or want to see something that I haven't seen. That movie gave me an opportunity to have a look from different perspective to my life and the others.
So ever since the Meet the Parents movies I never thought I would like Ben Stiller again. This movie has changed my mind. It is really hard to pinpoint an exact reason this movie makes my Top 5, but it does. It may be the coming out of your shell fell to this movie or the music placement in the scenes. Every time this movie comes on I find myself watching it. I really wish Stiller would do more movies like this one. The comedy that he does is good at times, but this movie was by far his best to date.
