Pretty mid. If you haven't read the book, you might like it. If you have, you will hate it. In the book, Estella seems like she should cause a boner. In the movie, she made me feel disgusted.

After the 1946 amazing version of this classic novel, I feared this film would not be as worthy. However, this movie is a delight, with amazing cinematography, plot and acting.

A fantastic take on one of my all time favorite books. Not to be missed.

This is a good, old character drama. The story is mildly intriguing and there are some interesting characters present. Its a fairly typical Victorian set period drama I suppose, with some sentimentality, the odd surprising moment and so on (I haven't personally read the Charles Dickens book its based on). The music is a bit cheesy I suppose (although that can be excused given its age) but for what it is, its good. I'm not sure I'd expressly recommend it as such, no.

Ralph Finnes is always good doing creepy loner

This movie is a terrible bastardization of Dickens' story, complete with zero character development whatsoever. Casting is all wrong, save Ralph Fiennes's portrayal of Abel Magwitch, and Olly Alexander shining as Herbert, though he is sadly made a far less important character in this adaptation. Helena Bonham Carter seems perfectly cast as Miss Havisham but falls flat in her interpretation of the character. An entire major plot point and villain was left out of this movie, and we are never given insight into the development of the friendship between Pip and Herbert which was a substantial factor in Pip's development as a protagonist. Skip this, read the book instead if you have not.

It was okay. A bit boring to be honest, but I'm into high-action movies

It juggles a few too many plotlines too at once and the pacing gives off the impression that the film is mich shorter than it really is but production and costume design, the performances of the cast and Mike Newell's direction make this adaptation of the Charles Dickens tale a good one that doesn't feel unnecessary.

Worse thing I have ever watched

Mike Newell's polished adaptation of Charles Dicken's bildungsroman about a young man's dramatic rise to the rank of gentlemen in a Victorian society to learn the true meaning of nobility continues to withstand the test of time with its many compelling characters and unexpected twists.

I saw the movie first, read the book later and I must say, I am really glad I did it that way. I am not a person that reads often but the book was really difficult. Some sentences were really hard to understand whereas in the movie, you can hear the intonation of the actors and understand the meaning of some sentences and words.The book and the movie, which came out in 2013, have a couple of differences but none of them are to big to lose the plot. Apart from the difficulties with the book-version and the differences between the movie and the book, I really liked the story. Normally, I am not the type of person that enjoys a movie with too much romance but I have to say,I wasn't disappointed I watched it!

Not for me. Fell asleep..

Not a great movie; I understand the novel, appreciate the artistry and command of the story-and still managed to not enjoy it. This movie is the same way; the cinematography, music, acting and sets are all solid. Yet this movie founders. Move on; pick another flik. The names in this have done better.

With plenty of modern filmmaking touches to spruce up an old-fashioned story, this remake makes for a rich viewing that acts as a tribute more than a fresh revelation.

By my unassisted self The bad habit of living When my baby intelligence was receiving the first distortions from my parents' wasting hands What wind blows you here? If I had turned myself upside down before drinking the wine could not have gone more direct to my head Throughout life our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we despise the most When he subsides into affection he calls me Pip and when he relapses into politeness he calls me Sir May I ask you a question? Yes and I may decline to answer it. Put your question. I never told you. You have never told me when you have got your haircut but I have had the senses to perceive it You hit the nail on the head Moths and all sorts of ugly creatures hover about a lighted candle At last the old woman and the niece came in - the latter with a head not easily distinguishable from her dusty broom What can you do? I can eat and drink... if you'll find the materials. They may be of the same blood but, believe me, they are not of the same nature

Enjoyable tale that takes audiences on an adventure through time

Excellent character moments bring to life Dickens' heartfelt, troubled friendships and romances. The contrived tangle of secrets, however, I found less than convincing and distracting. Overall, worth seeing and easy to so since it is on Netflix, but you may want to read the novel or see the classic film version if it's your first foray into this Dickensian forest of storytelling. .

A solid adaptation of the Dickens' classic with Ralph Fiennes claiming the best role as Magwitch.

Easier than reading the book, but not nearly as enjoyable.

wow, classic treatment of how to cut a novel down to fit into a movie. very well acted. but it lacked the humor/satire that one could sense in the book.
