    It's alright

    The movie is honestly, pretty much OK. Interesting premise that I, personally, haven't seen before. It just needs about 30 minutes more of world and character building, kinda like a Snyder cut.

    Good but not great, but still worth a watch :)

    *spoiler free* look, if you want to watch a film and be immersed in it's world, this is it. They're some things that could of been done better/explored more in this movie, but for the most part, it is a good movie! The cinematography, setting, acting was great!! (not a massive fan of Daisey Ridley or Tom Holland, but they did a great job!) I went in with low expectations and I came out thinking wow, that was a breath of fresh air and I'd recommend it!! Certainly needs more appreciation and less hate!!!

    Thank you for reading, stay safe everyone :)

    alright

    The movie is not good nor bad. Feels to me like this could have developed into more than one movie but they crammed everything into one. Plenty of things left unexplained (from plot to characters).

    Much better than those negative reviews say.

    I'm flabbergasted by the extremely negative reviews for Chaos Walking. That you don't find it a masterpiece I can get but that you were not even remotely entertained by this movie remains a mystery to me. I was actually enjoying this quite refreshing story. It's fantasy and so I don't expect true or plausible stories. The acting wasn't bad at all and that from the entire cast so there again I don't know what's wrong with those eternal unsatisfied reviewers. If you're not too picky and like a fantasy story that has not been done before Chaos Walking is definitely worth a watch.

    It's fair but only just.

    The premise is ok. Mads, Tom and Demian are all good, despite only getting glimpses of the latter. The whole things comes together alright but it's just not well done enough to warrant a higher score. Daisy Ridley puts in another mannequin like performance, and she is carried like luggage by Tom for most of the film. She just doesn't have "it". Honesty, I've seen CGI characters with more range. It's ok but that's about all.

    • How long is Chaos Walking?Powered by Alexa
    • So I know that this movie was adapted from a book but I was wondering, does this movie follow the events of just the first book in the Chaos Walking series which is called, The Knife of Never Letting Go, or the events of all the books in the series?
