Beethoven's 5th (2003)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Too much of everything

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I did not like this movie at all. compared to Beethoven's 2nd, this was just pathectic!! I mean there is no connection at all, who is this girl and how does she get Beethoven. Even Beethoven looked way younger... more like a 7 or 8 month old puppy. And don't even get me started on the special effects!! i mean the ghosts looked like something out of a movie made in 1999! The best in the movie was the dog.. he should get all the credit for the movie. I mean yeah the actors and everybody tried but they could have done a much much much much better job than this. If anyone wants to watch any movie in the Beethoven series the best one is the 2nd one, if you ask me... Don't even think about watching this one...

This is an unfortunate combination of G-rated, wannabe "Scooby-Doo" and, perhaps, wannabe Disney.It's not the fault of the cast: goodness knows, between the dog and ALL the cameo appearances by people you know from TV who form the central 'character pool', and the 'quaint' town/landscape, it's ALL so wonderful. Indeed, should have been so.And that's the catch. There is a complete lack of real or perceived threat. Imagine "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" without the bears. Think about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" without the Evil Queen. Contemplate "Scooby-Doo" without ANY frisson of fear...I know that 'B5' is just one more in a sequence of sequels - but surely SOMEONE could have put some 'oomph' into the script?The occasional (jokey) reference to "Scooby-Doo" doesn't work at all. And Beethoven's legendary "eve-of-destruction" behaviour is as muted as the rest of this stinker. He just burps for goodness sake. Doesn't even fart!

This Movie sucks! It is the worst creation in a movie since never! The acting is horrific, the cast: ugh! and the only good part is the dog. The rest is horrifying! How can a movie be so bad? This is the worst of the worst. NB. I rated this thing 1 because there is noting lower, this thing should be rated -99999999999999999999999999 (Absolute crap) because this movie (thing) is. I mean what on earth is the relevance with Beethoven and ------- (Something which I am NOT going to tell you as it spoils the movie and I hate spoilers) So if you liked Beethoven's other movies you will hate this. If you are a first-timer to Beethoven then after you see this you will think all the others suck. Don't think like this! Every Beethoven before this was to an extent good.

I've seen the movie and i think it was very good in fact i was there at universal studios at the time working as a guard on Beethoven's 5th i guarded on the part when the police officer chases the big truck i was standing at the top of the hill.we were there from 630 am that day till 530 pm i remember it was a good experience for me to be there .the cast was real nice .i would not change that day for anything .i even own the movie till this day i watch it all the time .they had a lot of dogs to play Beethoven in the movie set they even gave me free food and we hung out on the set and i got to talk to the kids in the movie they were real cool. to anyone who reads this i would like to hear from you.thank u.............
