it's modern, yet feels nostalgic. it's fun, yet keeps you at the edge of your seat. of all the recent disney live-action updates, this is by far the most successful. i loved every second.
cringeworthy first half. the script is horrendous and gives the actors absolutely nothing to work with. that being said i think both eddie redmayne and alicia vikander give stunning performances. i agree with the oscar-bait comments and so wish lili elbe would have gotten the film that she deserved, but alas, the world is not a wish-granting factory. i don't think the movie is boring or poorly made, i just think it is absolutely irrelevant. which - considering the importance of its subject matter - is an achievement in and of itself.
definitely one of the best war films i have ever seen (together with full metal jacket). i felt - like a few others here - a bit let down by the ending, but the 140 minutes before that are pure genius and a cinematic masterpiece if there ever was one.
but please avoid the redux version. the original has a better pace and need no addition.
I agree that this movie definitely lives up to the hype. Don't let yourself be discouraged by the length. These are four hours you will never regret! Both Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh give breathtaking performances, the story is refreshing (even if a bit cheesy and melodramatic towards the end) and the production value is outstanding.
