Movie Reviews of At First Sight
Movie Review: Dissappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this DVD on a whim, sight unseen from the $5.99 bin on Val Kilmer's reputation as an intelligent and entertaining actor. After viewing it with my wife we both agree with the general feeling of the reviews listed here. It SHOULD be a better movie. It SHOULD be a captivating story. It HAS a terrific cast. So, why is it so boring to watch?
I respect Val Kilmer's acting and his integrity as an actor. Most critics seem to agree that he is an "intelligent" actor. Why is he so miscast in so many things? Would someone please write a script specifically with the talents of Val Kilmer in mind... please?
This story tries to be many things from a story of independance to a love story, but fails pretty miserably at all that it attempts.
Like many of us, I was introduced to his acting in the low budget, now cult icon film "Real Genus" (naturally, I have reviewed this film also) where as the young, smart mouthed, fast talking College senior he literally stole the show from Gabe Jarrett who got top billing and was virtually never heard from again. I'm sorry to say that overall it has been his best (high profile) vehicle to date, though I personally thought it unfair that he was universally panned as Batman.
Good Luck with your own dreams.
Movie Review: good story line, poor delivery
Summary: 2 Stars
Good story, but kilmer and sorvino were weak. Compare to Meet Joe Black, which evoked incredible emotions due to the acting. At First Sight was slow, boring and gave me nothing to look forward to from scene to scene.Movie Review: You have got to be kidding me
Summary: 2 Stars
Ten minutes into this movie I was fast forwarding to see how it ended, it was boring and unimaginitive all the way through.Movie Review: Ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
What a stupid movie. Val Kilmer obviously has no idea how a blind person behaves and has no ability to portray a blind person. Kilmer and Sorvino have no chemistry. The entire story never rose above uninteresting and laughable. I think this film is an insult to blind people, as it portrays them as naive idiots. Spare yourself and avoid this stinker. If you want to see a good film about the blind watch A Patch of Blue,Wait Until Dark, or even Dancer in the Dark. These films portray the blind as strong, intelligent and also importantly, interesting.Movie Review: Terrible acting
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this DVD with the hopes of it being an excellent drama film that would capture me, and help me relate to the characters. It didn't.This movie almost seemed like an episode of "Friends" if Ross was blind.. The acting isn't believable. When Val Kilmer is mad about getting surgery on his eyes, it seems as though he's just talking - no emotion involved.
I suppose I can understand how the easily entertained can like this movie, but if you truly want an excellent drama film about someone overcoming a handicap, buy Forrest Gump.
