La La Land : 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Just watched La La Land. I LOVE musicals, but there is nothing original nor interesting about this. What a let down considering all the hype, awards and nominations. Sorry to say, but I cannot recommend this to anyone. I found myself constantly looking at my watch to see how much time was left and waiting for it end. I only found one good song was decent and that alone is not enough to make a musical and the sad thing is that as soon as it ended I couldn't tell you anything about the song. Even as it was the best song, it just wasn't memorable.

Wait for it to get on Netflix and put it on when you are having trouble sleeping

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I agree! I went in there with huge expectation which probably didn't help my cause, but was really let down by the blandness of the film and it's generic story..

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I went there with expectations it would be good and thought it was great.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

That's what my wife said. She couldn't believe how terrible it was. She was really looking forward to it to. Alas..,

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Some find joy in it, others find boredom. Some find it vibrant, others find it bland. Life is wonderful.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I found this movie special, easily best movie of the year for me.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Well, the year is young :-)

I thought it was great. 2016 had a lot of good movies so not sure it was the best, but certainly better than many that have been hyped as the best.

I haven't seen Manchester By The Sea yet. I never saw it hit theaters near me.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I haven't seen Manchester By The Sea either, looking forward to it.

2016 had a lot of good movies????!!!

I thought movies in 2016 had a lot of potential as many movies were thought to be greatful and enjoyable but they never did use it wisely, one of the worst years in the history of movies.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

How can you saw that you can't recommend the movie to anyone?

Not everybody has the same taste in movie as you, and you didn't comment on the quality of the movie just that you didn't find it interesting and that you didn't enjoy the songs.

I often found myself saying to a friend .. oh i like it but i ma not sure you will like it or vice versa.

It's almost arrogant to feel that because you didn't like it then nobody will like it.

sorry but it bugs me when peoples say that, i am always thinking "hum sorry but i will decide on my own if i like this movie or not thanks you"

I would rather have someone describe to me what the style of the movie is and tell me why he didn't like, rather than just say that it's not good and i shouldn't watch it.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Personally I find it "arrogant" that you expect people to read your comments with all the typos and misspellings. I mean, what you have to say is bland enough without trying to figure out WHAT you are saying. Perhaps you should read more books and watch less trash like "La La Land."

Just my luck; I finally get a stalker and it's an ugly gay dudeIgnored. Have fun living in your mother's basement.

It's fine if you aren't actually a boxer. It's wrong to pretend to be an expert. Also, I don't think you know what stalking means.

The truth hurts now does it ..

Yes baby; the truth hurts; almost as much as your butt hurts when you are taking it from behind

Come on, you couldn't have come up with a better and more original insult than that .. well that's rather disappointing.

Let me see what kinda insult would fit your level .. oh i know ..

You know who told me that it hurts from behind .. your mom after i left her place yesterday.

Mother jokes, reverbz? I didn't realize that I was dealing with a child. I guess I should have known; and why is a little kid watching movies that are meant for older gay men? I placed you in my 'ignore list; for ignorantYour parents should be monitoring your online activity.

I love La La Land and have two of the songs on it from Amazon - Mia & Sebastian's theme, and The Fools who Dream..

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I was bored to death and none of the songs was remarkable.

I would recommend The Last 5 Years. It had some things in common but it was original, fresh and had great amazing songs.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

It was a great deal of effort for NOTHING.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Watch it again. I hated it the first time too. The second time I really liked it. No joke.

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

I thought the same thing after I watched this train wreck. It was a waste of two hours.

(Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.)

Re: 128 Minutes I'll never get back.

Why am I or anyone else supposed to care about the OP wasting time. Can I suggest a good therapist?
