pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

nickywilte David Lynch is a tough act to get into and The Elephant Man is perhaps his most mainstream work. But even a mainstream Lynch film is abstract and The Elephant Man- based on the true story of John Merrick is filled with imagery and allegories that might bore the watcher. Make no mistake- this is a good movie and the performance of John Hurt as the titular character is so good I think it's a joke he did not win an academy award for it. Hauntingly photographed and well acted by everyone from Anthony Hopkins to Anne Bankcroft this is an artistic film and needs a certain mindset to be viewed.

erfanzardehi The movie "The Elephant Man" is one of David Lynch's first experiences and one of his classic works. This is a form of admiration. Fine, fancy and thoughtful framing.The film process is slow, but the slowdown is accurate and accurate.The actors have all come out well and everything is in place. The content of the screenplay is also very nice. He speaks of isolation that exists in all people. An elephant man in all of us humans.

ayhansalamci ''Why are people afraid of the 'unknown' ?'' I was very touched. I liked it the acting of Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt very much. I'm surprised that John did not get an Oscar. We see our prejudice is always a shadow. Unlike other Lynch films at a more understandable level. John Merrick: I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am a man!

martin-fennell Beautifully made film. A movie not to be missed, even if it does not stick to the facts. The opening sequence is pure brilliance. Special mention on the acting side for John Hurts tremendous performance in the lead role, and for Freddie Jone's excellent support. On the other side of the camera, we must be thankful for the direction, photography, and makeup. 10. fav?
