Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Chris Smith I am older and Hank was gone by the time I was born. I warned there were spoilers, but anyone who knows anything about Hank, already knows about his drinking problems and the problems with his personal life. I gave the movie a 10 because I thought Tom Hiddleston did a fantastic job and had Hank's moves down pat. I thought his singing was great. I was very disappointed that I Saw the Light and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry was not included in the soundtrack since Tom had especially done a great job with the latter. I thought Elizabeth did a great job as Audrey. I do realize there were issues with the screenplay, but I thought in general, it gave the viewers an idea of who Hank was. My in-laws saw him in person and I was introduced to his music when I moved here with my husband. It was quite a shock coming from New Orleans.

eddie_baggins Frustrating. That is how I would describe this unfocused and sadly unengaging biopic of legendary country singer Hank Williams, the man responsible for such memorable ditties as What You Got Cooking and Cold Cold Heart.At one time or another spoken about as being a likely contender at the Academy Awards, Marc Abraham's film that features an outstanding and deservedly acknowledged performance from British superstar Tom Hiddleston, I Saw the Light became a true non-event upon release around the world, making a paltry $1.6 million at the worldwide box office and a fate even worse here in Australia where it has been dumped straight onto home release without even the slightest bit of fanfare around, which is such a shame considering the material and tools at Abraham's disposal.William's story from that centres on an incredible rise to fame from a relatively sad upbringing is completely mishandled by Abraham with the film rarely, if ever, offering up much lead in or background to Williams bar an impressive meltdown at a music festival where Williams addresses the crowd under extreme duress. It's nigh on infuriating that we're never really allowed inside this talented performers mindset or history and makes the film feel as though it's at arm's length away at all times.This feeling of disconnect can be laid almost entirely to blame on Abraham as Hiddleston who has still perhaps been at his best as Loki in The Avengers before this film rather than the over praised Only Lovers Left Alive, The Deep Blue Sea and the overrated BBC series The Night Manager makes this role his own from the word go.As the camera slowly lingers in towards Hiddleston performing an impressive instrument free rendition (Hiddleston performs all his own songs here as well as playing the guitar) of hit William's song Cold Cold Heart to an intently concentrating audience, you forget that you're watching the British actor and feel as though you're instead witnessing the complete re-embodying of Williams. It's a turn that deserves a much better movie even if he gets solid support from Elizabeth Olsen as William's long suffering love Audrey.I Saw the Light is a real missed opportunity to not only tell the story of Williams but give Hiddleston the film his performance deserved and while the die-hard fans of Williams may find this film better than us Williams outsiders, it would be very hard to find many other reasons to watch this soulless film other than to see Hiddleston deliver the acting turn of his career so far.2 electric garage door buttons out of 5

adonis98-743-186503 The story of the country-western singer Hank Williams, who in his brief life created one of the greatest bodies of work in American music. The film chronicles his rise to fame and its tragic effect on his health and personal life. I don't even like country western music and yet this movie did work for me it's not Oscar material or the greatest biography because there are better movies out there like Ray from 2004 for example but i think Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen do shine a lot and the songs are pretty good and they even built an accent although the movie does have issues they could do some things way better like his addiction to drinking and they could built some characters better also the story is not 100% completed because they skipped some years and the whole thing with him and his wife arguing every day was annoying also the fact that he changes women like shirts gets pretty old at some point too but overall it's a nice pretty good film and if you like any of this actors you won't be disappointed and i really don't blame them for the flaws i blame the writers but just think of Loki and Scarlett Witch married with children and singing that's all 7/10.

capone666 I Saw The LightThe number one threat to a country music star's career is their successful transition into pop music.Unfortunately, the cowboy crooner in this biopic didn't live long enough to employ auto-tune.Repetitively rejected from the Grand Ole Opry for his youthful inexperience, Hank Williams (Tom Hiddleston) wasn't able to strike a cord with promotes, fans, and later Hollywood, until he started composing ditties inspired by spats he had had with his singing partner and wife (Elizabeth Olsen).But just as those hit records were rolling in, Hank's dalliances, hard drinking and drug use derailed his meteoric rise. Although Hiddleston is able to embody the honky-tonk hero in appearance and essence, his vocal range is lacking that hillbilly twang. Meanwhile, the laborious script and ham-fisted director are more concerned with chastising him for his faults than celebrating his triumphs.Incidentally, sex with Minnie Pearl was not the cause of his death.
