3 separate people today for this movie. 2 stayed an hour. One saw the whole movie and demanded a refund. I'm now even more curious to see it. The trailer was so charming and fun, how could it be THAT bad?
shareIt's not for people who are not intellectual.
shareI never understood the logic in asking for a refund if you don't like a film, but on the other hand, I'll sit through almost anything. I've seen many films that are worse than this – most films are, actually. But this was still a disappointment coming from the Coens.
shareI hated it too. It was just terrible. I couldn't wait for it to end.
shareIt was one of the worst movies I've seen this year. George Clooney should be embarrassed to have been in it. Josh Brolin was OK. I watched in to the end, but it took two tries. This is the first movie of the Coen brothers that I didn't like.
sharethis movie might not the best coen brothers movie, its a multilevel satire that doesnt have a punch, but its still exactly 4827 times better than all superhero/transformers/regurgitated junk we see all the time
shareNot a bad movie at all, but sort of an acquired taste. If you're not familiar with classic Hollywood, I could see a lot of the jokes not making much sense. But if you're a fan of older movies, it's a pretty damn solid flick.
shareThis discussion reminds me of the time my friend an I saw Tree of Life. The ticket clerk said no refunds for that movie. We look at each other and said what the heck, lets see it anyway. About halfway through the extend "history of life" sequence I whispered to him: "I see why they mentioned refunds." We both hated that pretentious piece of crap, and vowed that if we ever receive a "no refunds" warning to turn around and walk out.
Oh, and we both liked Hail, Caesar.
The only way that someone should get a refund after seeing the end of a movie is if it's playing on two screens and the idiot customer went into an earlier showing and was too stupid to realize it until the movie ended a mere 45 minutes later. That happened once at a theater I worked at. Guy was kind of a d**k about it. Maybe he had number dyslexia, if that is a thing, in addition to being slow on the uptake.
Just watched Hail Caesar! and enjoyed it. I've seen enough Coen bro. movies to know that I'm probably going to like it, but if I don't (can only think of two that I didn't care much for), then so what? I've wasted a couple hours of time and an hour's worth of wages (if at the theater) in worse ways than watching a subpar film. And the money from my ticket may help finance a future movie that will be the next Big Lebowski.
Thit and thpin!
It ISN'T bad. It just isn't to everyone's taste. Personally, I love it and I've seen it three times. I'm probably going to watch it again this month.
But why on Earth would someone deserve a refund after watching the whole movie? Isn't there a theater policy about a time limit for refunds?
