Reviews

angelamarymartin For months, I waited with anticipation for HBO's adaptation of my favorite book Fahrenheit 451 to make its début; I was a huge fan of the book-obviously seeing as it's my favorite-and I also quite enjoyed the first 1996 movie adaptation when my teacher shared it with our class in 2011. Naturally, the 1996 lacked a few things, but seeing as the technological capabilities were limited then compared to what we have now that is to be expected, so when I heard HBO was doing an updated movie I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to see all of the things that had had to be left out in the 1996 version and when it popped up on my Hulu account to watch I was definitely excited...until I turned the movie on.The cast wasn't anything close to the characters in the novel, nor were the personalities that they portrayed onscreen. The story itself-to me at least-seemed to be changed and even dumbed down for the audience of todays generation and that saddened me alone. I could have stomached most of the movie if they had stayed true to the original plot. To me they have utterly destroyed one of my favorite books.Long story short, if you genuinely love the book and want to see it come to life on the big screen, don't watch this. If you're looking for an action/thriller sort if thing that seems to barely have a decent storyline and you've never read the book, then you're good.

erdemkocer-20426 I can't believe how bad this movie is. Of course I was expecting changes in topic. But this movie took it into new level. The effects, characters and story were just bad.

rohan-mahey Wow. Just wow. When I saw the trailer for this I was intrigued. So I went to dig a little deeper (I do this with every film/TV show) and see if it was an original concept or based off a book. It was based off a book and had a film which came out in the 70s I believe. When it came out on in the Uk I watched it. But it was so confusing. I understand movies the first time round or if needed I'll watch it again. But really this was so bland. Michael b Jordan does an ok job of being a cop/firefighter?? I don't know it was just boring. Michael Shannon and Michael b Jordan looked like they didn't want to be in this movie or TV movie. That's it. I'm calling this a TV movie. It got to a point where I just changed it halfway as the story didn't make any sense. The plot is rubbish. They should've just saved their money and made something else. They have stupid things like making people take drugs to forget stuff. Like how stupid is that. I hated this movie overall. I would advise that all of you people wouldn't see it either.

andreea-21632 The plot absolutely dull from start to finish, nothing to do with the book at all. What a shame...
