Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Olivia Duda The movie didn't seem very professional at the beginning. I thought it would be pretty generic, but the idea of the play within the movie is what made it up to an 8/10. The main character realising what he was planning beforehand, and the fact that the school didn't end up being massacred is what made it different to all the other movies. Although I didn't think the main character's backing away from his initial motives was obvious enough, it might be what made the ending unpredictable. It was a great thing that they only revealed the play after Trevor decided to stop everyone else doing the shooting. If they revealed it beforehand, then we could've guessed he would stop it, but I was pretty certain the shooting was still going to happen.
WalterSoprano I have to say the main character in this film reminds me a lot of myself. Depression, bullying, and suicidal thoughts are things that plague me to this day. But strangely enough this is the only film that comes to mind as far as something I can truly relate to. The whole film showcases a compelling story supported by great acting and writing. This film is something that should be shown to high school students because bullying is a very largely ignored problem that could lead to things such as suicide and mass school shootings.This is definitely one of my favorite films but not many people would understand the true feelings expressed in this film. If you are majorly depressed this film comes to be almost life changing. I will keep this film in my mind and heart to keep going and I more than highly recommend this film. That isn't all I have to say but for now it's enough thanks for reading my review.
giraffffffffe The movie gave a very realistic perspective on teenagers in high school in todays society and the issue of bullying. It was terrifying to see how the victims of the bullies suffered and were abused the sad part is its happening every day. The movie addressed the issue throughly and gave empathy towards the viewer to feel for the victim. The protagonist was beat and constantly under attack as the public viewed him as the criminal within the community when in fact he was the one being victimized which was only discovered in the end. It was very eye opening and surreal and had a good plot and potential. I found myself drifting through out the movie as it seemed to drag on a lot and i guess i was expecting more especially in the ending.
the_teapot I like this film because it shows the "other side", and tries to go to the root of the problem of school violence, not just deal with its consequences. It's easy to see kids who commit violence in schools as monsters, but it doesn't help the matters much. This film gives a different perspective on those very individuals. The reasons why young people slip so badly into antisocial behavior go so much deeper than "oh he's just a bad apple" and this movie has made a good job at showing that. Not that those who have committed mass murders should be forgiven just because they were such martyrs, but perhaps preventively, the American educational system should think of a different approach towards misbehaving teenagers, and look more into removing the causes of their frustration, rather than just try to whip them into good behavior with punishment. Classical disciplinary measures like detention, suspension and expelling tend to only worsen their isolation, which only reinforces their hatred of life,(and not just their own!). I believe many tragedies could have been prevented if the society had done less frowning upon children who have a hard time fitting in, and I like the fact this film hints that if you give a young person so full of anger and frustration a bit of respect instead of contempt, it may significantly change the way they see life.
