Vertigo (1958)

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A San Francisco detective suffering from acrophobia investigates the strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. Despite it's styligh direction and Hitchcock's "mad" eye on making something beautiful but also very well written and watchable 'Vertigo' is missing on the suspense level and that's disappointing because especially on the department of acting and cinematography the movie is just beautiful looking but it takes alot of time to get where it wants and the ending was very meh. (5/10)

If I had a time machine, I would have loved to travel in time and have dinner with Alfred Hitchcock. If then why, Stan Lee must have been inspired by the cameo roles of Hitchcock in his own films that he decided to peg it. This is such a classic and to see Mr. 'Nice Guy James Stewart out of his usual mister nice guy roles, this is a good movie. There is such élégance to the ladies and gents of the late fifties early sixties, and James as an acrophobic guy who fell victim to Kim Novak's charm and was the fall guy to masquerade a criminal scheme is very humane in his portrayal. And for a bombshell, Kim can act. For all those who have the patience for traditional suspense, this is a movie one should put in his or hers to watch list.

An incredible perfect blend of background music, camera work, fascinating story, acting, suspense, and mesmerizing romance.

Although I prefer Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954) and arguably the best movie of all time Psycho (1960) there is no denying that Vertigo (1958) is another masterpiece by the master of suspense. Classic James Stewart is at his best and delivers. Hitchcock's typical style of rarely letting the tension up works perfectly since the movie is paced excellent and gives every character a time to shine. But what makes Vertigo so good is that the plot is completely unpredictable and in the beginning the story feels so bizarre. It's another one of Hitchcock's gripping thrillers and probably his most though-provoking. Like "Rear Window" this is barely missing the full points: 9/10
