Imagen Barth Simpson writing "NEVER LISTEN TO CRITICS!!!" 200 times on the class board

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2017)

This movie was perfect from beginning to end. i literally didn't find anything wrong with it. it was dramatic, entertaining, brutal adventure. I really can't put my finger on to why this movie was panned by critics. I watched hundreds of films in the last 25 years and "the beach" is a stand out. Leonardo DiCaprio is charming as he always, the other actors and actresses are amazing as well. Actually, the whole concept of finding this community of European travelers on a deserted island in Thailand surrounded by drugs farmers was gripping and compelling. I never read the book but I'm sure it's great as well. Friends, don't listen to ignorant reviewers, some of them are just mean and the others are industry workers. Not every reviewer on the internet is legit. Enjoy the beach!
