pretty good

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2014)

When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was really excited. It looked like an modernized terry Gilliam movie with spectacular visuals and imagination. And on that front the movie succeeded. Every shot in this movie is just gorgeous, Ben stiller's directing really gave this movie an almost dreamlike feel.
But sadly this movie also contains flaws (in my opinion).
First of all, although all the shots and dream-sequences look spectacular, they don't always fit as well in the story, some scenes seems to be just there as an excuse to go crazy, which is fine, but they feel kinda unnecessary as they don't really add much to the story or characters, I mean Okay we know Walter really, really likes the girl, you don't need 5 dream-scenes to establish that.
secondly Adam Scott's beard is hilariously bad
and lastly, it can get kinda cliché at times.
I know it seems like I'm bashing this movie as there are more cons than pros. But I liked this movie, I just feel kinda divided, because it looks beautiful, there where some funny moments, but it just feels like the movie is trying to be deeper or more meaningful than it is.
So yeah Walter Mitty 7/10
It's a fun, gorgeous movie, just don't take it too seriously, and if you do, nothing wrong with that, I agree with the message the movie's portraying, just feel its kinda too simple for something as complex as life.
