Movie Reviews of Tom Jones
Movie Review: Worst "Best" Picture Oscar Winner Ever!
Summary: 1 Stars
When you think that "Lawrence of Arabia" preceded this and "My Fair Lady" followed this it boggles the mind that something as terribly bad as this film could ever be mentioned in the same breath as those two brilliant all-time classics of film. I thought that "Gigi" was the worst film ever to win the Best Picture award until I saw this. Much of this film reminded me of the typical Benny Hill comedy and we all know just how "well" those jokes have aged over the years.
Not only is the film itself extremely mediocre but so is the dvd; the picture quality is extremely poor as this hasn't been restored at all and the sound quality is just as poor in mono. I only hope that the book itself is a lot better than this waste of plastic.
Highly NOT recommended except as a cure for severe insomnia!
Movie Review: Read the novel instead
Summary: 1 Stars
4 Oscars...1963 must have been a very bad year, and the Academy people never read Fielding. Or never read, period. The novel is brilliant and funny, the movie - not much so. They managed to condence a 900 page book into 2 hours and still make it boring. 27-year-old Finney looking 35 plays Tom Jones? Come on! As for DVD quality, think of home videos of the same period.Movie Review: Fell Asleep
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't see how this movie could have won any award at all. Wasn't really funny, or romantic or true to the period it supposedly was set in. Fell asleep during most of the last hour and was glad when it was finally over.
Don't waste your time. Looking forward to watching the other version of this novel.
Movie Review: Waste of time
Summary: 1 Stars
It was so awful that I had to watch half of it in fastforward. Although supposedly a period piece, it couldn't get itself out of the 1960s. It felt like a bad skit from saturday night live. Poor acting, unconvincing story line, flat characters, etc. I am truly amazed that this film won an oscar. Unbelievable.
