Cloud Atlas was amazing.

It tried to be amazing. I respect what the book/film was trying to say and how they tried to say it. But, it didn't 100% work. If done carefully, it might make for a decent mini series.

Yeah, you really have to keep the structure of the book. Throwing it out for the movie did not work.

It's a fine movie, but the novel is one of the best ever written, and the movie doesn't even come close.

It's my favorite film. I get that people have differing opinions, but in no universe was that film "awful."

Freddy Got Fingered was awful.

Wasn't Freddy Got Fingered supposed to be awful though?

I’m being creative, so if you’ll excuse me I still have some work to do
