Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
yairvillarreal So to start this film is a unique one and definitely had some fresh air for you to breathe with its original story. It follows a teen orphan introduced to this new environment, received with open arms. Hunt For The Wilderpeople is a hilarious comedy that blends in well with its heartwarming moments.
michaelbrooks-36441 Wow. The most fun I've had watching a movie. The jokes never miss, and are absolutely hilarious. It even hits you in the feels on two seperate occasions. The cinematography is wonderul, the visuals of the new zealand forest is stunning aswell. For the love of god, see this movie!!
morrismatalon I just saw "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" (2016) and it was absolutely wonderful. All the performances were good. I didn't hate the kid and Sam Neil was very good as Hector. There was a very believable bond between Ricky and Hector, and when they had the "get mad at each other and leave" scene, it didn't feel forced (partly because of the subject matter) and I loved that it didn't go on for too long. All the cinematography was fantastic. It was very funny and I love the kind of dark sense of humor that the movie had. I think this had a great soundtrack! and it's not just great songs that already existed and wasn't composed for the movie (though there was a lot in there), also the composed music is really good. It gives off a very mysterious feeling. All the characters were very likable, and not stereotypes (except "psycho sam"), and it was great. I wouldn't give it a 10/10 like some people are, because it has some problems. There was some stereotypes in the movie, (An example being "psycho sam" being the conspiracy theorist stereotype) I think there should have been some more time devoted to the relationship between Ricky and Bella, and I think the plot was kinda predictable. But, I still think this movie was very fun and enjoyable, and I'll definitly recommend it. i give this a 8/10
jessica-horsecrazy I honestly did not want this story to end. This is one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. Original, entertaining and deeply heartfelt--prepare for a sucker punch in the feels! Taika's masterful work just gets better with every film. Shout out to every actor in this movie for doing a flawless job.
