Amelia H Awful. I feel this movie totally misses the point of the book, and it feels they just made this movie to make a movie. It lacks many important components and characters of the book, and they changed Clarisse's character so much it doesn't even feel like Clarisse. She feels like she was created for the male gaze, and its gross, especially considering they had to AGE HER UP for this movie. Fahrenheit 451 shouldnt have been made a movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Gustavo R Michael B. Jordan stars in this Ray Bradbury story by the same name about a future where all media is outlawed. There’s an internet but it is heavily regulated. Future firemen do not put out fires but burn media. Anyone holding books movies or tapes is considered a traitor. Interesting concept but the movie is kind of slow. Good ending though 🍿🍿🍿/5 on Max Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Steven S The overall shots were decent, but the storyboard just don't make any sense. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Eli B We seriously need to start questioning why movie studios always want to completely change the plots of classic books for movie adaptations, because this was a massacre. Every meaningful moment of the book was completely removed in the film - which is strange, because the book was a goldmine of thought-provoking scenes and every interaction had a purpose. The movie, to put it simply, has none of that. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Jace E On the surface, Fahrenheit 451 is not a terrible film. It features two strong leads in Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, the visuals are powerful and the message is needed now more than ever. Unfortunately, the story is underdeveloped, which I think is due to the large stray from the source material.  As someone who read the book years ago, I was surprised by the extent of creative license that the filmmakers took. I’m not saying that writers and directors should not change items from books when adapting them to film. However, when vital characters are cut, entire plot points are changed and the ending is completely different, it is almost disrespectful to the author.  I was optimistic going into the film and there are some positive elements, but as a whole, this film just felt disappointing. Best Character: Beatty Best Quote: “You should try reading before burning.” - Clarisse Best Scene: The Woman on Fire Best Piece of Score: “Resurrection” Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Ian C This movie was a major diss to Ray Bradbury's work and legacy. If you liked the book don't watch this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
