  but overall a fairly ordinary experience and sometimes boring for me.

    • 3D was the only choice in my podunk town and it was OK but unnecessary for me... - PhilJ 15:43:40 11/29/11 (0)

      I did not get the whole "dog in the lap effect" critics touted either.

    • How about a lead boy that could act instead of just mooning with those baby blues? And what was that subplot - tinear 14:23:05 11/29/11 (1)

      with the archivist all about? Booooring. And Kingsley was miscast. From despicable to kind just isn't in his repertoire. Sasha? Horrible character. Ridiculous.
      The whole thing was a conceit for Scorcese to "instruct" us about early film. As such, it even sucked on that level. It was about FX, not real film. If I saw that friggin' shell hit the moon one more time......
      You're partly right: I did wish for the automoton to come to life. As it is, it was the only interesting character.

      • you may as well stop watching movies if you hated this as much as you're pretending - Jazz Inmate 23:43:04 11/30/11 (0)

        Maybe the 3D got in the way for you. I saw a 2D showing. You seriously must have an empty heart if this film didn't move you or you couldn't appreciate the theme of fixing things and lives that are broken. It worked on so many levels.

  Not sure I would call it a masterpiece but it is a really lovely little film with a great deal of complexity and nuance.
