Natalie K @nkingsleigh056 Dec 21 I have very found memories of reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen with my grandfather when I was about 12. If you have read the book this movie makes sense as it follows Paulsen's story telling style perfectly. However that style doesn't translate well to cinema. See more Keagan D Mar 4 Eragon was better than this trash depiction. It may have bad acting, but that movie actually TRIED.a See more Giani C 07/26/2024 The movie I kind of liked a while ago, but now when I think about it, it feels pretty slow and hardly any music. I like more survival movies much better. See more 06/05/2021 This hurt to watch. It is a boring mess that makes no sense. Even though the movie is free on youtube, I feel like I should have gotten a refund. See more 03/25/2021 movie is boring. Really don't recommend watching See more steve d 07/10/2020 weak adaptation covered in cheese. See more Read all reviews
