Movie Reviews of Mysterious Island
Movie Review: An Insult to Jules Verne
Summary: 1 Stars
--Please do not make the same mistake as I made - THIS IS NOT JULES VERNE!-------------- By the way I rarely give one star reviews.... and I do A LOT of reviews on Amazon.
I realize that this is a remake of the 1961 version of the story. However, I am amazed that Hallmark could ruin one of the best adventure stories ever written. Why feel they need to start adding enormous insects, snakes and rats? Why completely change the characters - one of the charms of the book is that the characters learn to work together and create a harmonious existence.
Things that I hated
- The computer graphics are at a high school level. One that comes to mind is of a burning ant butt... it is comically done...circa 1942
- Is not even remotely similar to the book
- Captain Nemo appears in the first 15 minutes. In the book he appears at the end showing that he is the reason for the survival of the characters.
- What is with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" appearance?
- The characters are not faithful to the book.
- There is "treasure" on the island
- Giant bugs and animals are everywhere.
Final Verdict -
Unwatchable as a movie but putting "Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island" in the title borders on fraud. Absolutely, one of the worst renditions of a book that I have ever seen. I couldn't make it more than halfway through this so called-movie.
