Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) by Wisertime — 06 Apr 2014

Seems to appeal to the Wes Anderson Die hards. I haven't seen all his movies. Rushmore was decent, but not as great as people make it out to be. Some fans calling this his best...well if that's not an endorsement for seeing more of his work.

I found it dull and boring (and it really takes a lot to bore me at a movie..though Gravity was boring too). There were no laughs whatsoever. Too much "style", no substance. Didn't care about the characters at all and the ones I might have, were hardly on screen. Dull, repetitive, silly, stuipid, over the top, over hyped, tired. I couldn't wait for it to end. Tries to be serious, political, funny, silly, artful, homage and fails on all accounts. Ok it looked ok, the makeup and wardrobe was very good, but that's about it. Ralph Fines was good, but not his best work. People giving this 10's are hipsters or out of their minds.
