Nicholas Nickleby Reviews

Feb 24, 2024

If you havent seen this, do it now. An absolute knockout of a script, unbelievable stacked cast, gripping, heartwarming and romantic story.

A nice movie about doing the right thing always, no matter what, in principle is what we should always do. Good cast by the way.

Great story, stunning cast, but a TERRIBLE actor in the leading role. It's like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone all over again!

The scenes were obviously superimposed and looked so unreal. Comparing this film to Martin Chuzzlewit BBC series, there is no comparison. I stopped watching it after an hour as I was totally bored senseless.

this is everything you want in a fun, early 2000's adventure film. Based on a novel by Charles Dickens and filled with stellar performances by Christopher Plummer and Co. This is the kind of movie with the kind of sincere m, convincing acting that is all too rare these days.

Charlie Hunnam is very good at adaptation of English literary classics!!!

Charles Dickens' elegant storytelling taste in humble episodic narratives emphasizing the goodness within in our hearts and how it can stir unexpected impacts as connected to social commentary deserves a respectfully maintained legacy for generations discover how verifiably timeless his tales are. This particular story of his most early works reflects the above realized statement accurately, and the adaptation is faithful with a good cast fulfilling the characterization, namely Charlie Hunman in the titular role and Jamie Bell's continuous display of fragile innocent youth, while the execution is rather formulaic of pure coincidence and characteristically derivative.

The best version of the classic Dickens novel, but with such a cast, how could you go wrong?

This is my favorite adaptation to-date (2019). Hunnam and Bell are believable as unlikely friends who forge brotherly bonds. All of the cast inhabit Dickensian characters and transcend the usual artifice. The camera work is brilliant and the story moves at a brisk pace.

Jamie Bell, Charles Hunnam and Anne Hathaway's performances lift this film to the 5 star category.

Despite a (necessarily) rushed plot and a couple of bland leading performances, Douglas McGrath's filleted adaptation hits most of the right notes and is stuffed with superlative cameos. It would have benefited from more savagery and less whimsy, but when you have performances of the calibre of Christopher Plummer and Tom Courtenay you're pretty well home and dry. A very good introduction to Dickens' marvellous novel, only bettered by the RSC's phenomenal nine-hour version.

definitely worth the watch + great abs

Jamie Bell's performance of Smike was beautiful, sensitive and not overacted. The rest of the performances were excellent but not so convincing... Particularly NN. Worth seeing.

Loved this adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. Christopher Plummer portrays an outstanding yet understatedly evil Uncle Ralph-indeed, I think his work here ranks him among the best villains I've encountered in any movie, 온라인카지노추천, or stage roles. And with Nathan Lane as Vincent Crummles, Alan Cumming, Anne Hathaway, Miranda Richardson, Jamie Bell, and others chewing up scenery and spitting out lines, my chief complaint is that 132 minutes isn't enough.

Faithful adaptation of Dicken's novel, the movie is enjoyable and pleasant to watch, especially during Christmas holidays.

I thought it to be a relatively good adaptation of the Dickens Novel. Love the actors. They are suburb. Tom Coutenay is always excellent! Especially his Dickens characters

Good adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel. The story of a young man, Nicholas Nickleby (played by Charlie Hunnam). His father dies, leaving him, his mother and sister to fend for themselves. They seek assistance from his father's brother, Ralph (played by Christopher Plummer), who helps them. However... A great tale of survival and resourcefulness and good vs evil. Also, how when good but weak people band together they can conquer any evil. Solid direction. Not overly ambitious, but works well. Does drift in parts though. Good performances from the main cast, generally - Charlie Hunnam, Christopher Plummer, Jamie Bell, Jim Broadbent, Romola Garai, Tom Courtenay, Anne Hathaway. Edward Fox is his usual irritating self, though in this case it is appropriate for the vile character he plays.
