Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
siriusandblackbear It wasn't that bad, it wasn't that great. The alternate ending makes more sense than the real ending, BUT major ick factor. I think I threw up in my mouth a little, to be honest. I can see why they didn't use it. I think it was the original ending and they only half fixed the rest of the movie to make up the difference in time. I would say they wrote it as 25 years and changed it to 15. Horrible job at age progression, makes the movie confusing as it ages some drastically and others not at all. I don't personally believe in reincarnation or possession, and this film sort of blends/confuses the two. Sarah was actually quite good but it's not a role that demands a ton of talent. Check out the alt ending, it works better(keeping that extra 10 years in mind or its criminal) but it'll still make you go ewww.I was generous with stars because others were stingy. If they actually used the creepy alternate ending, 2 stars, 4 since they didn't and it got 6 from me because of how many harsh 1 stars it got.
jt1999 This absolutely horrid waste of celluloid is not only incomprehensible, it's something far worse -- slow. Ten seconds between each line of dialogue. It's that bad. I mean, PAINFUL. Excruciating. Worst direction of a horror film/thriller in the history of filmmaking. The idiot who directed it should never be allowed on a movie set ever again. EVER!!! Gellar mumbles all her lines in her usual monotonous, brain-dead trademark style, as though she's reciting the phone book half asleep. Runs around with sleeves covering her hands in typical, infantile teenage-retard fashion. Sam Shepard's not too bad -- but he's in this sorry snore-fest all of 30 seconds.Watch this film, and then kill yourself. Or do yourself a favor, and kill yourself first. You'll be glad you did.
Neil Welch This film starts off promisingly atmospherically, and then continues with an awful lot of something happening but not quite. There are hints and flashbacks and memories and blokes who look creepily suspicious and something almost happened just then but not quite and is it supernatural or psychological, well you'll just have to wait and see, won't you? Yes, but I fear I'm going to drop off.Thank heavens, the adverts have woken me up.Part two arrives, and she's dropping in to see Dad, and things are almost touched on but not quite. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is playing the girl who is going through this odd almost non-experience has a constant expression as if someone has just farted under her nose. I quite like Miss Gellar under normal circumstances - her character here is unattractive and irritating.OK, it's "The Return", I get it, she's returning to her past to find out what has happened to her in the past so that she....That's the problem here. You know such a small amount that you don't really understand why anything is happening. The drip feeding of information is so slow that it is difficult to maintain interest. Perhaps the payoff will be worth it, but am I really that invested that I am prepared to experience the second half of this film? I'm not going to tell you. Now there's some suspense for you - more than there is in this movie, at any rate!
mina-magdy42 This is maybe considered one of the movies that i highly regretted when i saw it , it is unbelievably slow and the sequence is BORING boring boring , i hit the forward button because simply i couldn't stand sitting all the movie duration watching boring faces wondering around with no reason and useless shots . Not mention that the end is supposed to be more interesting but hell , after all the suffering of watching this movie , u couldn't even enjoy the end coz it is simply SUCKS . people just spare ur time and the most important spare ur heads coz u will have high blood pressure regretting that u saw this movie and wishing that u never watch it at alllllll
