Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
A lot of fun.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
So I wanted to review this because it was a hard one to review. I watched it and there were a handful of really funny moments and yet it was lacking in emotion so much that it had so much potential yet fell so short. Each character as hard as I tried to feel some fort of connection to them I simply couldn't. It's the sort of movie that I continued watching waiting to see what would happen next. Lovely scenery about sums it. The acting was as the script was meant to be I'm guessing...I don't know what the secret ingredient that it was missing but whatever it is really caused this one to flop when it shouldn't have.
I've been a fan of all of Taika Waititi's films for a while now, so when I prepared myself to watch this film I had very high expectations. I was not let down. This movie is amazing, from beautiful scenery and authentic sets, I was totally drawn in. The mood established thought the film is on a level of comedy so hilarious and so balanced with the overal theme that I can hardly handle it. The casting is perfect and all the characters seemed written just for the people portraying them. I love everything about this movie and can't recommend it enough.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople is Taika Waititi's fourth feature film, and arguably his finest one. I love this movie: the New Zealand scenery and cast of this film not only helps with the film's broad yet culturally specific appeal, it tells story that is hilarious, touching and very memorable. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a comedy-drama about family and how social misfits only truly understand each other. Ricky Baker is adopted by Bella and Hec. And things only get more complicated and wacky when Bella passes away, leaving Hec to take care of Ricky himself.The film takes surprising turns when you least expect it to. It's still very much a comedy but one that takes emotional risks for the sake of the story rather than shock value. Taika Waititi based this film off a book, that may have been so niche that it doesn't have its own wikipedia page. It's great we live in a world where a director like Waititi gives life to a story where the world doesn't realise it wants it or needs it. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one such film.If you want a film that provides belly-laughs and great characters, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is surprisingly easy to get into. Watch the film; just see it asap. It's a Kiwi-delight and one of 2016's best movies.
Such a lovely heartwarming film, highly recommend.The cast is fantastic and all the beats are on point.Looking forward to seeing what the director does with Thor: Ragnarok.This film had me glued from start to finish.Sequel?...
