AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

djbs99 I was appalled, cruelly disappointed at how flat this movie was. I've always been an avid Disney fan. As a kid I used to devour Mickey and Donald comics and cartoons on TV. I find his movies magical. How could anyone depict the genius that the man was in such a dreary, drab fashion? There is absolutely no drama in the script or in the direction. The man himself is so terribly ordinary you wonder how such a man could have invented a whole new grammar of films, animation. Surely some of his craft, the humanness, joy of his movies would get reflected in his personality? But what comes across in the movie is a pedestrian character whose romance (I just read up after watching the movie that Walt and his wife were married for 41 years) is so incredibly facile, one dimensional and completely unromantic that I kept waiting for that one sublimely soulful moment that would make me realise what he saw in her - but we get absolutely no insight into their relationship just as there is very little camaraderie between his fellow animators though we are supposed to believe they are like a family. In short I have yet to see a movie which had such an exciting subject and such a dull, uninspired, shoddy treatment.

ajoyful It was somewhat interesting to learn of the struggles Walt Disney went through in his early life.It made me want to read more about the story.They made some interesting choices with casting.It's always good to learn about how people struggle before they become famous.Wholesome story.The sets and costumes looked very realistic for the vintage times.I learned quite a bit watching the movie.It would be nice to see a follow up movie and take up where they left off.I liked watching a good moral story such as this.

mrnicklabahn This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I've never written a review before, but I felt the need to because it was so horrible. So bad, don't you dare click play on it on Netflix if that's the same way you came upon it as I did.The acting. The acting, the acting, the f******* acting is so bad. I seriously had to look up if this movie was supposed to be a satire because there's no way the acting could be this bad. I could drive to my local elementary school, grab 3 special ed children, hand them a book about Walt Disney, and they could put together a better film. I swear to god it's the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie.Now I did give it 2 stars for a reason. Because it should be labeled as a comedy. It's very DRY humor, very dry. But if you happen to be on drugs or high, I could see this movie being entertaining for you. I watched it all the way through out of boredom, and because it was kind of funny.

gracekirkby I actually had to stop watching half way through because the film was so painful to watch. I think my biggest mistake was watching "Saving Mr Banks" the night before watching this film. Walt Before Micky certainly tried to recapture the magic so easily conveyed in Saving Me Banks yet failed miserably. Not only were the portrayals of these real people wildly inaccurate, the acting was completely wooden. Everything about the script, direction and acting screamed inexperience and was reminiscent of a school production. I am very disappointed as this could have been a charming film in much the same way Saving Mr Banks made the history of Disney come alive, alas this time around it failed miserably; hopefully one day a remake will do this story justice!
