Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

(Flash Review)This was a picturesque little movie that lightly touches a world- renowned magician who exposes fraudulent magicians and fortune tellers. He comes across on young woman who is very clever and needs to spend more time to figure out her illusions. If he can't figure her out, will he believe she is real and of course she is attractive so will a romance form? The story was OK but for me the climax was muted and the romantic angle a bit unbelievable. It was a visual pleasure and the illusions used were….nifty. Decent acting but the story was average and already slipping from memory.

Magic In The Moonlight(2014) Starring: Emma Stone, Colin Firth, Hamish Linklater, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Erica Leerhsen, Eileen Atkins, Simon McBurney, and Catherine McCormack Directed By: Woody Allen Review Hello Kiddies your pal the Cupid Critic here, with a magical romantic comedy from Alvy himself Woody Allen with my future wife Emma Stone and Colin Firth. Chinese conjure Wei Ling Soo is the most celebrated magician of his age, but few know that he is the persona of Stanley Crawford(Colin Firth) a grouchy and arrogant Englishmen with a sky-high opinion of himself and an aversion to phony spiritualists' claims. Persuaded by his friend Howard Burkan(Simon McBurney) Stanley goes on a mission to the Cote D' Azur mansion of the Cateledge family: mother Grace(Jackie Weaver) son Brice(Hamish Linklater) and daughter Caroline((Erica Leershin). He presents himself as a businessman named Stanley Taplinger in order to debunk young clairvoyant Sophie Baker(Emma Stone) who is staying there with her mother(Marica Gay Harden). Sophie arrived ate Cateledge villa invitation of Grace, who is conceived that Sophie can contact her late husband, and once there, attracted the attention of Brice, who has fallen head over heels for her. The film was that of a novelty I like the way it is, the way it feels, I would just be listening to Colin Firth and think to myself I hope he doesn't debunk her. It would go on with many scenes with him and stone and when they were on screen I adored it. It's goal here is to supply that the world is a mystery and I believe it is. In the opening of the picture you see Stanley's Wei Ling Soo performance which he believes is all a set of trickery, he believes in science and prefers to analyze and Debunk those worship God and see's life as cruel, short and un-meaningful. The direction from Woody Allen is taking with that same approach he took with Blue Jasmine where he tried to direct a picture about a sad and non pessimistic character who views life as one tragedy after another and I hope he keeps making films with characters like those I sometimes feel life is that way. Magic in The Moonlight doesn't have that magical touch as some of Mr. Allen's other pictures it brings in an interesting story of wit and charm with the ordains of sadness in life, I give Magic in The Moonlight a three out of five.

I decided to see this movie with low expectations after the initial critiques and hoped that I would still enjoy it since it is Woody Allen and Emma Stone. Unfortunately, this movie is quite boring, nothing particularly funny, nothing particularly touching or romantic, just nice music and sceneries. Performances look a bit fake at times and dialogues get monotonous as well. I cannot understand how a director like Woody Allen, who obviously does not care about some extra bucks, can produce such an uninspiring piece of work. The only good thing about this movie is that at least it is pleasantly and lightly watchable. You can easily watch it while taking your lunch a lazy Sunday noon.

Colin Firth, Emma Stone acting with Woody Allen directing, what could go wrong? Well, the answer is almost everything. The dialogue was slow an unrealistic, and the acting wooden from the start, the plot frankly stupid. It seemed that Firth was just going through the motions as a hansom but cantankerous romantic lead, completely unbelievable and Emma Stone was completely miscast as the female lead. To be fair to both actors they were not helped by the stodgy script. You felt that this could have been made to work but it needed an injection of pace and better drawn characters. Firth plays a magician, because he uses tricks to perform he believes that there is no such thing as real magic or mysticism. He gets asked by a friend to debunk a mystic but then gets fooled into believing she really is a mystic. The problem I had with that was the ease with which he is fooled, with only a few demonstrations of the mystics abilities. Surely a real skeptic about mysticism would not be so easily swayed. The Firth Character is also written as a very one dimensional character who only believes in science which makes you ask the question, what is he doing performing magic in public if he is entirely rational. The problem with the Emma Stone character was simply that she was not believable as a mystic, she showed no showmanship at all, and therefore you believed her to be a very nice person but certainly not a performer of mystical acts. The supporting cast were similarly dire. Towards the end of the film I really lost interest in all the characters as there seemed no psychological depth to any of them. A very silly film and a waste of 90 minutes of my life.
