Movie Reviews of Of Mice & Men
Movie Review: Steinbeck would have been proud
Summary: 5 Stars
What a jewel this adaptation is. Sinise's performance is deeply moving and his direction exquisitely skillful and intuitive. John Malkovich's performance as Lennie is simply lovely; it couldn't have been better. The chemistry between Sinise and Malkovich feels both comfortable and natural and serves to underscore the wrenching heartbreak of the ending. Moreover, the novella is so lovingly paraphrased and filmed that one can't imagine Steinbeck being anything other than supremely pleased.Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was excallent, it had the basic outline for a great movie. With humor and drama and some adventure this movie came to a stop in a sad but respectful way. Leanie, played by John Malkvioch, did an excellent job as well as George played by Gary Sinse. A must see for viewers of all ages. Well done by Sinse and the rest of the cast. Staying true to the book and making the ending much more then what it was. Deeper and having a purpose behind it that most people understood.Movie Review: The Way It Was Meant To Be Filmed!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent film version of the John Steinbeck novel. Malkovich and Senise capture the essence of their characters and instill in them a true sense of reality as Lenny and George struggle with the times in which they are trying to survive and the developmental disability afflicting Lenny. You will hurt with them and hope for a happy ending which you know will not come. I consider this much better than the Burgess Merideth and Lon Chaney version and a must see.Movie Review: A Paragon of a Classic Film Adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not agree more with the excellent reviews given this film adaptation. This movie impressed me by how well it portrayed the original novel; presented the various movie sets; and cast the actors. Sinise and Malkovich play their roles perfectly. Ray Walston (god bless him) plays his part so well it choked me up for a while. Who needs to go see the play when a movie such as this brings it to your home screen? I am glad I added it to my collection.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I have not read Steinbeck's book of which this movie was made from, I can't attest to its accuracy. From what accounts I have read of the depression and from Steinbecks other book "The Grapes of Wrath", this book also accurately depicts the hardscrabble existence that many poor people went through. All the actors played their parts very well. It is an excellent film, and I'd rate it right up there with "The Shawshank Redemption".
