BAMF

You know when I first saw the trailer for this I was thinking that it would be a The Matrix wannabe. I was dead wrong. There is a lot this movie has to offer. It has a cute love story. The characters are interesting and quirky. The plot is really well done. For Ben Stiller I think this really rose the bar for his career. As I think for most of the movie I was only thinking it was just Ben Stiller ... read more

Zoomed out can be cured if you dare the reality.

As we know that Ben Stiller is a fine actor mostly in comical roles. But no one ever used better than himself in his own directions. Yes, most of his great performances and movies came under his steering of the ship. This is the one more movie where he exposed his creativity in filmmaking as well as acting.

'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' was anticipated to be one of an Oscar... read more

The cinematography of this movie was beautiful. If for nothing else, watch this movie for that. Loved the story, but I saw the ending coming from a mile away. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it a ton. Feel-good movie through and through.

"A timid magazine photo manager who lives life vicariously through daydreams embarks on a true-life adventure when a negative goes missing. An incredible movie and totally different from the original which was in itself fantastic. Visually, this movie is perfect with its breathtaking cinematography and unobtrusive special effects. Many scenes, particularly those showing Walter skateboarding in Iceland, or climbing the Himalayas, were very memorably shot with unique camera range and angles. The s"

Clichés that belong to garbage (24 movies items)

"Greeting someone who didn't greet you This is a teen-flick regular, which apparently bleeds over elsewhere. This is when the crush of the main character says "hi" to the main character and they say "hi" back only to notice they greeted someone else. I believe the aim's to illustrate how insignificant a character can start the movie off that someone will just look through them like they aren't even physically there. It's an effective way to garner sympathy for the protagonist, but also a remind"
