Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

kogrone This movie was pathetic - such a HUGE disappointment. I'm not sure what the producers and directors were thinking???? I don't think they were thinking. Emily Blunt is a GREAT actress but wow, such a HUGE disappointment. NEVER AGAIN! Jack Black wasn't even funny. Why was he even considered? Why didn't they stick to the novel? I don't know what else to say but UGH! The story did not even being to resemble the awesome book. I'm sure the author is rolling over in his grave. So, this was pathetic, disgusting, stupid, disappointing... Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, STUPID! Oh and don't even think about seeing this pathetic piece of - I can't even call it work, because its not a good piece of work. It's a sorry piece of trash. I honestly could not finish watching this and forbade my grand kids from watching it. Instead we went to the library and got the old version, that goes more by the book and is charming and interesting. I suggest you do the same. Please don't waste your time on this trash. Have a nice day.

Python Hyena Gulliver's Travels (2010): Dir: Rob Letterman / Cast: Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris O'Dowd: Here is the umpteenth time Gulliver ventured to the land of little people where discipline is strict. It is a film about imagination starring Jack Black as Gulliver who works in the mail room yet desires the hottie female up several floors. He is soon boating off on an assignment regarding the Bermuda Triangle where he is whisked away in a storm and awakens pinned down ashore as a prisoner to a society of little people. He eventually gains their approval when he saves the Princess from an invasion, as well as save the King from a fire when he urinates the fire out. Director Rob Letterman had greater success with Monsters Vs Aliens but here the editing is terrible and there is sequences that appear broken such as the unexplained escape from "the land where thou man shall not go" as well as Gulliver's discovery there. Black fares okay as the destined hero who goes from mail room to giant hero although special effects are so horrid that it is too evident of Black's placement on the screen. The idea of Amanda Peet showing interest in this guy is perhaps the stuff of adolescent fantasy, and her boating after him is a joke. Jason Segel first appears as a prisoner due to his interest in the Princess and despite predictable elements he steals moments when Gulliver gives him advice. Emily Blunt as the Princess is straight forward and dull pulled in two directions. Chris O'Dowd is amusing playing the commander of the miniature army at hand. This film should travel into a trash compactor. Score: 2 ½ / 10

Daniel Heywood Personally I wasn't that impressed with the film, it was an easy watch on Film 4 so I didn't lose money on it so it balances out.I didn't really relate or believe in any of the characters (fictional or not) and the whole film seem squeezed in towards the end like there should of been 2 films but they didn't have the budget for it.I think Jack Black was right for the role but the film didn't do him justice. Maybe he was expecting something more like his role in 'King Kong' when he read the script?I'm sounding too negative now so ermm...It may be a good film for children if you can be bothered to explain what the Bermuda Triangle is.Dan

SnoopyStyle Jack Black plays up the slacker loser a little too much. He's so pathetic and apathetic at the beginning that it's hard to root for him. Then all the actors are hamming it up. The actors are so broad that I'm laughing at the actors more than laughing with the actors. They are all doing this BIG acting that it just felt too fake. Some physical gags do get a smile. But they are far in between. For a comedy, the only important calculation is how many laughs there are. For this, there just isn't that many. Also Jack Black didn't need to lie so much. The fact that he lied so much made him just so much more unlikeable. It was a bad comedy but not necessarily as bad as the critics says.
