1.5 stars to dreamgirls and 4 to Apycalypto.. This easily crosses the limit of sanity on the part of rediff reviewers. I agree Dreamgirls was overrated but it certainly deserves more than 1.5. And Apocalypto doesnt deserve anything more than 2.5, the only saving grace for the movie being its pace and action. Otherwise its just an ordinary movie lacking a tight script. Rediff's reviews sucks and this chap Raja Sen is a clown.
I think every1 is entitled to their opinion. Dreamgirls is an ok film....it didnt deserve to be nominated to an Oscar though. The actors have performed well...but the script is bad. We have several such hindi films and we people term our movies as bad and our actors as ham actors. If the same is made in english we praise. As far as Apocalypto is concerned the movie is definatelygood for the pace and visuals. Again the script is absent...it is similar to any hindi movie in its scripts. What say they should start remaking hindi movies in english...probably then the remake will atleast win an Oscar.
Following on from his drastic not to mention plain ignorant list of Best Actresses ever, he now turns his nose up at the Universally lauded role played by Jennifer Hudson. It wasn't just the Oscars-she took home the Golden Globes and the BAFTA and every other major award ceremony with real critics and people with taste and common sense. I think Rediff shoudl fire Raja Sen. He has so obviously lost the plot!
I guess everyone are entitled to their opinion. Can you imagine what rating the famous US critic Roger Ebert gave to one of the greatest movies of all time, "Once upon a time in the west"? A mere 2.5/4. But that does not mean Sergio Leone's masterpiece is bad. Infact it's now regarded as "the greatest western ever".
Personally i felt Dreamgirls were overrated. So that't it. Why drag personal details for such a petty issue?
So, the lesson is this. Everyone of us have different viewpoints about a movie. But don't make it an issue for personal attack. Let's disagree..but on a friendlier note. No need to call someone nasty names.
Another thing is that by resorting to personal attacks we lower our dignity. Why should we allow that:)
Is it a Reveiw ? , Does the reviewer know what a musical is. Its one of the better musicals ever made, lyrics are fantastic, delivery is outstanding and the expressions are better than the best. The movie is worth atleast 4 stars. Jeniffer Hudson is incredibly superb. Its a must must must watch movie. a true classic. Bros
This guy (Raja) has lost his mind. The movie is fabulous. Rediff (especially Mr.Raja Sen), has lost the taste of good movies. 1.5 Stars???? You rating your review or the movie? (because your review sure doesn't deserve even 1.5 stars) Guys, dont listen to this jerk. Go n watch the movie. Its brilliant. Deserves the appreciation its received. and for Raja.....grow up or better yet, write reviews for Ekta Kapoor Serials!!!!!!!!
I'm really really really shocked to see this poor review for this wonderful DreamGirls movie.
For those all reading this review, its a masterpiece movie. The performances of all the cast esp. Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Fox, Beyonce has been awesome. You don't see this kind of movie offen. Its a pure Musical and performance role based movie. Unlike Special effects, sentimental stuff.
For a better review, I recommend all to see http://imdb.com/title/tt0443489/ . Must watch for all the music lovers.
Rediff, grow up, Grow Up. I can be 10000 times better then this reviewers.
Now my trust on rediff reviews is over - you guys give Salam-e-Ishq 3, Honeymoon Travels (the worst movie I watched this year!) 1.5 and now Dreamgirls 1.5!! I watched Dreamgirls in US and it's good! The new kid Hudson is brilliant in portraying the role. Knowles is also quite good without being brilliant. Definitely a better movie than Salam-e-Ishq's juvenile hysterionics and monotonous melodrama! Or for the matter Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd's idiotic script!
