Excellent adaptation.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Outside a movie premiere, enthusiastic fan Peppy Miller literally bumps into the swashbuckling hero of the silent film, George Valentin. The star reacts graciously and Peppy plants a kiss on his cheek as they are surrounded by photographers. However as Peppy slowly rises through the industry, the introduction of talking-pictures turns Valentin's world upside-down. The Artist is a good representation of the early 20's and early 30's unfortunately however is also a pretty slow and painfully boring movie that the best perfomance was from the little dog. (3/10)

Go figure why this "mistake" won the Oscar for 2011 best picture. The Yo-Yos in Hollywood have s$%t for brains no doubt about it...it's all about who you sleep with anyway. War Horse was the best movie by far that year yet it got nothing. Years from now we will look back, laugh, and list the win as one of those memorable gaffes committed by Oscar voters. When I saw the film, one question kept popping into my mind: What's the point? Who cares about the silent movie era and it's stars? Why must we sit for 2 hours and watch something paying homage to an era that we'd rather forget? Dreadfully boring. Pointless and stupid.

There's no there, there. Dirt simple story you can see coming a mile away, so it's all about how they tell it, and it's told poorly. Pointless scene setting takes forever (that breakfast seems to have taken 1/3rd of the movie), important points skip on by. Acting and most photography is unimpressive. Too many straight on one shots. Too much mugging for the camera, too talkative, when it's a form that requires expression and movement. And too much feels like a gimmick. A silent movie it ain't. The two sound interludes make no sense. I expected it to become a sound picture with the advent of sound in film. That might have been interesting, and a way to show how the world changed overnight.

love the idea of this film! the film tells a wonderful story with no vocals, it takes the world back to a time of silent movies but i thought it was to serious for a modern day silent movie missing the comical aspect. i thought i could of watched this film on fast forward and still of completely understood the story line (that wasn't that great) at some points it was hard to keep concentration. There was some great performances and can understand why this film took 6 Oscars and is very popular with many people but was not for me. 5/10performance 6/10 originality 6/10 direction 5/10 story 5/10 ending 6/10
