Gulliver's Travels (2010)

This movie was pathetic - such a HUGE disappointment. I'm not sure what the producers and directors were thinking???? I don't think they were thinking. Emily Blunt is a GREAT actress but wow, such a HUGE disappointment. NEVER AGAIN! Jack Black wasn't even funny. Why was he even considered? Why didn't they stick to the novel? I don't know what else to say but UGH! The story did not even being to resemble the awesome book. I'm sure the author is rolling over in his grave. So, this was pathetic, disgusting, stupid, disappointing... Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, STUPID! Oh and don't even think about seeing this pathetic piece of - I can't even call it work, because its not a good piece of work. It's a sorry piece of trash. I honestly could not finish watching this and forbade my grand kids from watching it. Instead we went to the library and got the old version, that goes more by the book and is charming and interesting. I suggest you do the same. Please don't waste your time on this trash. Have a nice day.

Chris O'Dowd and Jason Segal had the worst English accents I've ever heard. You honestly don't have to be Irish or Amercian to get the English accent right like why did they have to make a balls of the casting?! Whoever had the idea of creating a remake of "Gullivers Travels", needed their heads checked! It was just ridiculous in casting them in the first place, they should've got better actors besides them. I like Chris O'Dowd and Jason Segal but at the same time, they weren't just suited for their roles! Emily Blunt's character sounded like such a whiny spoiled b**** that needed a reality check. Emily Blunt is a good actress but she just didn't suit the role well or did a good job. She would've been better off if she wasn't involved! Omg we go onto Jack Black, he was poor enough as Gulliver. The scene where he peed on the burning castle was the lazy way to get the movie entertaining. That was just wrong and weak.Everything involved in the movie was awful!

I can't even call this movie mildly entertaining. As a child, "Gulliver's Travels" was one of my favorite novels and comic books. This movie took a classic and completely slaughtered it. It's a shame to think that kids that have not seen or read the original version will think this crap to be the true storyline. Shame. This movie is not supposed to be a comedy. Fine if one attempts to throw a "twist" to the original version, but this was no twist. It was a complete destruction and insult to a historic classic. What an unnecessary account of this story. Adding further insult to injury, is featuring Black to star in the movie. I thought Ted Danson was bad. Black manages to bring this classic story down to new levels of low.

I love jack black and would happily watch him in anything but it seems the more I analyse this film, the less appeal it offers me. Firstly, I love the fact that Gulliver rips off every classic movie made and pretends he's done everything. But I just expected much more wit from black. I know it's not his script so he didn't have much to work with, but after such hits as school of rock? You know it should been better basically. I like Chris o d but felt his whole robot fight thing was boring. James cord en, Catherine Tate and Billy Conolly aren't given enough to showcase themselves. ESPECIALLY Tate who I feel could have brought some much needed British humour. That guy from how I met your mother and the five year engagement was pathetic in trying to Be noble and all coy around Emily blunt. Also someone should decide which period they are dressing for, we go fro, potentially Elizabethan to Georgian to modern day. It is all mix matched and by the time they finished that end song I was glad to run out of the cinema. Good for families, but from an analytical view point, it ain't no biggie for sure. Ta x
