I saw the greatness of the actor in Walter Mitty !
The movie started off slow and wasn't very interesting. The best part was the last half hour with a bit more action. I was expecting this to be a comedy considering the people starring in this movie, it's more a drama though. Great ending.
I thought the scenery was fabulous but the story seemed to drag and I almost lost interest in the first twp thirds. The last third seemed to pick up and draw me back in but as I said above the scenery was the most exciting of the picture.
Love the movie and very touching,different storie the kind i'll love ,i recommand to go see and myself again to go with another friend during christmas vacation .
Great film what I most enjoyed were thé incredible scenery shots and various locations around thé world...!!
First off an amazing cast. The imagery/background scenery was out of this world fantastic; made me want to travel there immediately. I don't think there were 10 minutes between laughs for me. It was well crafted for a shot story and the sentiment was apt especially in lieu of recent events. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and plan to go back for seconds possibly thirds...definitely a holiday hit
Love the movie! Amazing image!
Ben Stiller wears many hats . .. Not only does he star but he directs & produces. I have to say that he does well in ever capacity. Kudos.
It was a fun movie that would be suitable for the whole family. It might even give you the travel bug!
A pretty decent movie and frankly I was surprised that even my teenage soon whom I brought as my guest enjoyed it. It was strange seeing Stiller play a serious role (well for parts of the movie anyway) but I think he pulled it off decently because I found myself feeling for him during the movie. It was different from any of the movies out there so that is a big plus since its kind of carves a niche for itself, however I did think the day dreaming scenes were a bit long winded at times and bothered on being distracting. Oh i liked little cameo by Sean Penn (hope this is not a spoiler since we see Sean Penn in the previews anyway). I would give it a 3.5 star rating out of 5, but since no half
A really great movie looking at a man who is forced to quite daydreaming and start living. Ben Stiller is excellent and the film is incredibly beautiful to look at, whether in the Life Magazine offices in New York or in Iceland I was just shocked by how great the film looked. Wonderful soundtrack - Thanks for the advanced screening Tribute!
Good movie and great acting.It makes you want to travel around the world.
I smiled throughout the whole movie!
Brilliant movie and fantastic performance by Ben Stiller, he was perfect that role. what i liked about this movie, it made me think and imagine things during the movie and even after movie. We need more movies like that :) !!!
Four stars
A great movie for all of us who daydream of escaping our lot. The spectacular breathtaking vistas in this movie are rarely seen on screen. I plan to see it again when it is released.
It was a lighthearted fun movie, very entertaining and enjoyable for the whole family.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is one of the most engaging and heartfelt movies of this holiday season. Breathtaking Scandinavian scenery is only completed by the honesty and easily relatable predicaments of the main character, Walter Mitty (played superbly by Ben Stiller). A moving combination of charming wit and sincerity of emotions, the secret life of walter mitty is now one my favorite movies in a long time!
great holiday movie!
ok movie
Very entertaining movie to watch !!! Good and happy ending story! I really enjoy it. Thank you...
I loved the simplicity of the story. The cinematography was great. The opening sequence, some of the nature shots, the scene in his apartment - all were shot wonderfully. I really enjoyed watching Ben Stiller play a more subdued role. I really enjoyed the movie a lot!
Armed with an impressive cast of both established and relatively unknown actors, this film tells the age-old story of the social pariah who suddenly discovers a fun side to the world, getting the girl in the process and ultimately learning the timeless lesson, that we sometimes look everywhere for solutions that are right in front of us. Ben Stiller's nemesis is played with comedic flair by Adam Scott. His character, Ted Hendricks, is Walter's villainous boss who terrorizes the film's protagonist to no end. A totally polar opposite character is Walter's love interest, played by the ever-alluring and consistently adorable Kristen Wiig. She is a motivating force behind Walter's exploits and
I enjoyed the movie. Some very good acting and they kept the movie interesting and at times very funny. A very good family type movie.
Overall, I liked the movie. However, I thought the first half hour was unrealistic. But the rest of the movie made up for it.
This is a wonderful love story. We need "Walter Mitty"'s!
This movie is very inspirational and touching at the same time. The acting is good for the most part but some actors can use more practice. It makes me want to go and travel the world myself!
Ben Stiller's performance as a restrained but likeable Walter Mitty, forced by circumstance to give up his dreams to look after his family, is one of the highlights of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. His daydream fantasies of a life of adventure and romance start to become a reality when he finds himself on the hunt for an elusive photographer (Sean Penn) who holds an important negative of an amazing photograph that is meant to be on the final cover of Life Magazine. He follows the trail from New York, to Greenland, to Iceland and then to the mountains of Afghanistan, encountering physical hardship, amazing scenery and interesting people along the way. Kristen Wiig as the woman of his dreams
This movie was certainly different Liked the ending But would only give it 3 stars
Surprisingly entertaining film - great story, fabulous acting.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a fantastical movie, full of gorgeous scenery and a sweet story. Ben Stiller proves once again that he is a talent to be reckoned with. Not only does he direct and produce the movie, but he stars in it too; pulling off both humour, sadness and everything in-between. The movie is similar to Forrest Gump in feeling and we get to follow Mitty as he goes on a journey to rediscover the wonderfulness of life. The film takes us to remote places in the world that you didn't realize held such beauty. If you see one film this holiday season, see The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Phenomenal. I really, really enjoyed this movie.
This was an amazing movie. Don't miss out!! Ben Stiller out did himself. This movie standsout visually and graphically. Wow.
I was very pleased with this movie. Going into the movie, I did to know what to expect but by the end of it, it was a very funny and heart warming film. This film really spoke to mean and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a funny, adventure film.
With exceptional cinematography, this film inspired me to not let fears of my future stand in the way of my happiness. From it's corny antidotes to the exposure to the elements, I believe that this was Ben Stiller's BEST performance yet!
Visually wonderful film that adds an emotional depth into Walter's character. Definitely not what I was expecting - in the good way!
Life if always full of adventure if you are willing to explore. Stay within your comfortable zone will not gain any extra joy. No one can force you unless you want to make a move. That is the enlightenment from the movie.
The movie was one full of surprises. I was worried at first the day dreaming would take up the whole movie, but when the day dreams turned into realities, that is when the movie became exciting and surprising. I loved it.
This movie brought meaning to life and dreams. It was an adventure!
It was a great movie! Loved the "day dreaming" sequences... We all do it!
I have never been a big fan of Ben Stiller, so I approached with some trepidation a movie both directed by and starring His Benness. That being said, from the very clever ideas for the opening credits, through the breathtaking scenery of Greenland and Iceland, the off-the wall fight scenes and the touching romantic moments, I found myself entertained, charmed and amused. Sure, some of the plot twists are a tad ridiculous, but this is a fantasy, an entertainment, and a movie about dreams and daydreams, and so a suspension of logic is necessary. In my case, it was well-rewarded.I plan to take my two teenagers to see it when it comes out during the Christmas holidays, because it is a movie w
It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. An uplifting and inspirational movie. Beautiful cinematography throughout.
This movie was fun, but it seemed kind of random and it was difficult to tell what was real and what wasn't. Some (not all) of the jokes were funny. I don't think I would have seen this movie if I had to pay for it, but getting free screening tickets for it was nice. It was a movie I would personally wait until DVD realease.
This was a very heartfelt movie with a few laughs, lots of adventure and it brought a tear to my eye at the end.
Very Entertaining. Breathtaking Scenery. Overall feelgood movie.
Im absolutely a huge Ben Stiller fan. This movie was no exception.
I would recommend this film to all to see. A uplifting and funny story about life.Ben Stiller was fabulous in this film. Very enjoyable!
Charming movie based on 1939 short story by James Thurber. Subtle comedy made for hilarious moments
It was fun and heartwarming
Interesting concept, very imaginative, loved the images and the scenery plus the music a lot.
