The movie has a plot with great potential, which gives us great expectations too, but as it goes, it gets desapointing.

Not new. I've seen this. Depp already played this role at least 2 times, with more or less the same story, mafia, police, arrests.... blah blah blah. :/ disappointed.

I find it very hard to describe the feeling I had watching this movie. A combination of boredom and unpleasant feelings, and the worst part is that the majority of it takes place in vacuum space, with Sandra Bullock character in agony. Great role she played, yes, but this is a painful movie in many levels. Have you ever watched films directed or produced by so-called intellectuals, that are rolled in just one room the entire time, or with just one actor? This is an example of it, with the difference of not being intellectual at all.

This is not my type of movie at all, but my boyfriend was dying to see it so I went to see it anyway. I was afraid of feeling the same way I felt seeing "Gravity", a mixture between boredom and agony (strange feeling by the way, can't describe). But no. This movie is unexpectedly thrilling, amusing, and exciting, which exceeded the few parts less unpleasant to watch. And I'm not even a fan of Matt Damon! He did a good job!

It made me laugh, and for that I'm giving a 7. But I'm quite skeptical about the story, how things begun, developed and ended... A divorce may be traumatic for a family, but I don't think, for example, that after a decade of a separation "kids" cry over a "slip" from the parents... Specially at that age, come on! Besides that, it's a funny movie, not hilarious, but funny.

This site doesn't allow me to write just one word, that for me, best describes this movie, so I'm writing this just to submit that word that best describes the feeling I had watching this at the cinema: Painful.

The first movie is, by far, better than this second, and that's a risk of making a sequel. It was not a bad movie, though, and it is entertaining enough.

I don't know why this movie is best rated than "Maleficent". They could have added more plot twists, and less lame and cheesy scenes... Besides that, it is an ok movie to watch just one time in your life, and if you don't get bored enough to watch something that follows exactly the same story that you heard a thousand times.

When I saw the trailer I thought "Here we go, another boring movie that is only based on action scenes, with velocity/vehicles, punches, guns and fight, with no story at all." I was dragged into the cinema without any expectations. But then, it starting to get interesting, to this apocalyptic perspective of the future was added a completely different and surprising reality, and a good bonus of the great action scenes. We must not forget the movie photography, I was impressed. Suddenly the movie ends. Just like that, with no punch story, no consistent ending, it missed a lot. It was like leaving a delicious restaurant very hungry, urging to go to mcdonalds. :(

This movie had everything to be a perfect one, but then... not. Great actors with great performances, great scenes and light, and when it comes to give passion to the story it failed horribly. It is with regret that I think this movie is flat, from the beginning to the end. I'm not going to even comment the end...

Made me laugh, but its ability of doing so doesn't make it great. The plot is not so interesting, and the characters are predictable, and their actors don't surprise much on their acts as much as we already know from them. I left the movie theatre feeling entertained with the chuckles I had, but feeling that I'd just watched a poor movie in its content. I miss Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow), Dean Corso (The Ninth Gate), George Jung (Blow), and even Captain Jack Sparrow! Can't Johnny Depp surprise us anymore with an outstanding act?
