Hail, Caesar!

Ok so I am currently watching the movie about Julius Caesar. (It isn’t this it came out in 1970). It’s really good just like the book, but it’s no where near as good as Romeo and Juliet. (I reviewed this because the movie I’m watching doesn’t have a CSM review).

Personally, I thought Hail, Caesar was great. It was smart, witty, had George Clooney, and was satirizing old movies. The movie was almost entirely clear of bad content, though the few inappropriate remarks were as subtle as the humor. That is what Hail, Caesar's main problem stems, the humor being so subtle, that sometimes you may be left woundering if your just laughing because you think something was meant to be funny. I found the movie to be quiet absorbing and witty, but many people may not find this movie interesting in the least. I would give it four stars, some may give it none. Hail, Caesar is for (whether it was meant to be) a very select audience. If you like O' Brother, where art thou, chances are you will like this movie, (though its advertised cast of A list actors is mostly just Josh Brolin and some George Clooney).

Ok so this movie was good but only because of what was underlying. What happens in this movie is just a cover for what its really about. It doesn't really make alot of sense unless you get what its actually about. The content would be G if it weren't for a couple of D**n's and small talk of a baby born out of wedlock. This is a great movie but I suggest watching it with your kid and discussing it with them.

Hail, Caesar is a great funny look into the golden age of Hollywood, set in the later years of the fifties. It follows a busy working class man named Eddie Mannix, whom covers up all the scandal and gossip at a film production company called Capitol Pictures. All the film is, is a day in his life. Expect a lot of great acting, set pieces, writing, and yes quite a few laughs. I feel that the audience disliked this movie due to it's affluent use of the fifties vernacular, and culture. In simpler terms, most people probably just didn't understand it. You will like this film if your a fan of the fifties, lived back in that time, or just want to watch a more laid back, different kind of film.

Hail, Caesar is an entertaining take on Hollywood. The actors are great, the music is enjoyable and Roger Deakins' cinematography is great as always. It's nothing special, but it's good. Grade: B.

The movie is good, and adults will definitely like it, but I recommend it for older teens, because the humor and dusicussion topics are intended for adults, and children will probably be bored and confused, because it is the kind of movie that will make certain people fall asleep.

The only gripe with this film that I have is that Scarlet Johanasson, Jonah Hill and other talented actors have a grand total of like 6 scenes.

I went to see this for my birthday last week and it was okay. Even one of my friends who does not like many movies enjoyed some parts of it. The movie definitely had its funny moments.

The trailer made me want to see this movie, and it is a Cohen brothers film, so why wouldn't I? I had high expectations, and the movie was very well made, but it lacked excitement and up-beat-ness... It was funny but for more mature audiences, (not that the humor was inappropriate, just more of an "old people humor" type movie) So anyways... to conclude the review, it was "ok"... "Oh brother where art thou?" was defiantly more exiting... See it if you are it to good film-style, but not if you HATE boring movies.
