Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2014)

Before seeing the movie, I didn't expect much. I thought this was going to be just an ordinary Hollywood - Ben Stiller Style - Comedy. But it's definitely not.
"The secret life of Walter Mitty" is a perfect mixture of Action, Adventure, Comedy and Romance. Some scenes are as funny as we know it from other comedies with Ben Stiller, other scenes are very touching and emotional and not little scenes are absolutely thrilling. I really liked the ending of the movie, it was quite moving.
The only thing one can criticize is that especially at the beginning of the movie it's quite difficult to tell the difference between Walter Mitty's daydreams and the reality. Fortunately you get used to it after two or three of his daydreams and don't get confused about it anymore.
The actors are doing a great job, especially Ben Stiller as Walter Mitty and Kristen Wiig as Cheryl Melhoff, Walter Mitty's love. Their relationship feels very natural and they work really well together.
The directing by Ben Stiller is flawless, the music is great and the camera work perfect.
I'd also like to point out the outstanding editing. There are so many fascinating and well-planned match cuts, it's a pleasure to watch the movie.
"The secret life of Walter Mitty" is highly recommendable - you can expect 114 minutes of extreme variety and amusement.
