Very best movie i ever watch

An Exercise In Nonsense

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I didn't expect to see something unbelievable when i started watching this movie. It was already clear from the plot summary that the film is kinda light and relaxing. So i just sit back on a sofa, turned it on and eased off. And it worked! The movie was just simply funny. Sometimes that's all you need to have a good time. Besides i would say that Matthew Mcconaughey played spectacular like he always does. Yeah, the plot and actions of characters are very naive that's for sure, but look at the bright side - you got stunning landscapes, cool cast and a cheery mood. That's not bad after all. So i would recommend watching it, especially if you had a tiresome day or you are on a date. In first case the film will restore your mood and energy, in second - sustain a pleasing atmosphere and add fun

Like "Underwater" from the fifties and "The Deep" from the seventies, "Fool's Gold" is a film about diving for lost treasure in the Caribbean. At least, it's supposed to be the Caribbean, although most of the shooting actually took place (for climatic rather than financial reasons) in Australia. One detail apparently borrowed from "The Deep" is that the heroes are searching for the "dowry" of King Philip V of Spain, supposedly lost off the Bahamas in 1715. (Actually, a "dowry" is a payment made by the bride's family to the groom, not vice versa).The film also combines elements of a genre which was popular in the thirties and forties and which has occasionally been revived in recent years, the "comedy of remarriage". The main characters are Benjamin "Finn" Finnegan, a professional treasure hunter, and his ex-wife, Tess. The two are thrown together by chance during Finn's search for the wrecked Spanish galleon "Aurelia"; Tess is working as a steward on a yacht owned by Finn's millionaire patron Nigel Honeycutt. And, of course, they find their love for one another being rekindled in the course of the action. This being a thriller as well as a romance, there have to be other people in search of the treasure, and these include a local gangster named Bigg Bunny. (Not, I would have thought, the most frightening alias that a ruthless villain could have chosen). Another detail borrowed from "The Deep" is that the heroes are all white whereas the villains are mostly black. When I re-watched "The Deep" recently I assumed that this sort of thing was just an example of 1970s political incorrectness, but it seems that you can still get away with it in the 21st century.The critics' comments ranged from "an indifferent mess" to "a cheesy, familiar bore" via "excruciatingly lame" and "stupid, slack and sexless". Male critics in particular seemed to object to the fact that Matthew McConaughey spends much of the running-time shirtless and bare- chested. Kate Hudson even ended up with a "Worst Actress" Razzie nomination. And yet I was unable to join in this near-unanimous chorus of disapproval; not for the first time I found myself warming to a film which the critics generally hated. Yes, there are things wrong with it. Hudson will never have quite the same charisma as her famous mother Goldie Hawn. The cliff-hanging (or should that be plane-hanging) finale was a direct plagiarism from at least two Bond movies, except that in the Bond movies it was done better. Donald Sutherland tends to overact and plays Honeycutt with the sort of fruity upper-class British accent that the British upper classes generally abandoned circa 1960. (The Canadian Sutherland was presumably cast on the basis of the common American view that, as Canada is still part of the Queen's dominions, all Canadians must therefore speak the Queen's English with a British accent). I felt, however, that the critics who disparaged the film so much were taking it too seriously. It is not a comedy in the sense of a film which regales us with one hilarious joke after another, but it is generally light-hearted and does not take itself too seriously. (In this it is very different to "The Deep", which took itself far too seriously). The photography of the tropical scenery is attractive- another way in which it scores over "The Deep", where the scenes shot on land seemed just as dull and murky as those shot deep under the ocean. McConaughey and Hudson were never going to win any Oscars, but they make an likable couple, and there is an amusing contribution from Alexis Dziena as Honeycutt's airheaded daughter Gemma. There is nothing deep and significant about this film, but why should there be? There is, after all, a place in the cinema for films which simply seek to entertain rather than to make a profound statement about life, and entertaining is something which "Fool's Gold" does rather well. 6/10

What the 2008 romantic comedy Fool's Gold lack in originality, it makes up for with its star-studded cast and heartwarming, however cliché, story line. With the big names of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, who had previously won over a nation with their portrayals in the 2003 hit romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, this movie would join the list of feel-good date night movies directed by Andy Tennant, such as the movies Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Hitch (2001), and more recently The Bounty Hunter (2010). Set on various tropical islands, the story of a recently divorced couple setting out on an adventure to try to find a lost treasure and finding their lost love along the way; Fool's Gold gave viewers a welcome escape from the dreary world of February in the US when it was released. The comedic elements, like the scene when Fin, McConaughey, is almost blown up and is catapulted 40ft out of the water to land on the competition's nearby boat and is completely unharmed, add a light, airy feel to the film, while the adventure and action of the treasure hunt and the protagonist's continuing close encounters with their ill-meaning competitors make the film enjoyable for even the most devoted of action film fans. While many argue that the film is completely unoriginal and riddled with cliché, there is still something to be said for giving people what they like and what they, which is a feel-good romantic, comedic, adventure. The first half of the movie is the set up for what becomes the hunt for a sunken Spanish treasure fleet. Fin, McConaughey, and Tess, Hudson, get divorced and through their arguments we learn a little about their past and also their passion for treasure hunting. When Fin runs into trouble with some debt, the added element of urgency surrounding the hunt is perfectly timed; treasure hunts can never just go as planned after all. Various other plot points add to the tense need for their ventures to be successful, such as Fin's shady deal with his debtors and an old friend-turned-rival trying to beat them to the treasure. With sword fights, planes crashing, and boats exploding, the special effects also don't disappoint on their believability and keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. Amidst all the added excitement and drama of the treasure hunt, Fin and Tess manage to reconcile some of their differences and come together again on the one thing that they both love, the thing that brought them together in the first place: treasure hunting. Hudson and McConaughey's obvious chemistry and convincing portrayal of their character's emotions and changing attitudes throughout their adventures make the characters come alive and pull the viewer into the story as only great actors can. Overall, the cohesion of the film and the introductions of all the different elements are perfectly timed throughout to create a nice blend of emotions in the viewers and keep the attention of the whiniest kids or sleepiest elders. Good movies come from good plots, good acting, and good direction, and that is exactly what this movie achieved. An instant classic for date nights and slumber parties, Fool's Gold has a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. Continuing to follow his favorite recipe time and time again, I suspect this is not the last or greatest feel-good, romantic, comedic, adventurous date night film we have seen out of director Andy Tennant.

FOOL'S GOLDI like this movie. I had seen it before in the cinema and liked it just as much the second time around.The film stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. These 2 work so well together... they were really good in How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days and now they work really well in this too. It is kinda like the new generation of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere back in the Pretty Woman days.Kate Hudson reminds me so much of her Mum, Goldie Hawn. They are both great actresses and can both be funny. Matthew McConaughey is a good actor. He is great in comedies, but he can also do serious acting. I think the best film he has made is A Time To Kill.This film is funny, but it is not a laugh out loud comedy. There are some funny moments, but I do not remember actually laughing out loud... but this film is still really enjoyable. The story is good and there are some good characters in it.I preferred HTLAGITD... it is a better comedy and more funny... but this is still a good movie. If you like films that you don't have to think too much about and are fun to watch with a bit of action and adventure... then this is your film.I will give it 7 out of 10.I hope these 2 do more films together. It is a winning combination.For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204
