SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Devoid of substance, devoid of talent and devoid of meaning. Like a pile of dog poop on the floor in an art museum. Everyone pointing and saying "Oh the commentary on modern life is so substantial!" while it was just a stray dog shitting on the floor. This movie was such a pile of dog shit that with all the big names in it a lot of people thought they must have been too stupid to miss the meaning and depth. So they pretended that they movie had depth and was meaningful to not seem stupid in front of others. Then their friends went to see it, thought it sucked but were afraid to be seen as too stupid to see it so they pretended to love it. But their instinct was right, it was horrible. Too bad they were too insecure to admit it. I think most of the movies that come out today are like that. They really do suck but people are afraid to be seen as too stupid to see the depth and meaning. Just go with your gut people. Admit the movie was horrible and you will find plenty of people agreeing with you.

It was a good movie but...............==Warning I have taken a two bits from someone's review==You would expect suspense, twists, intelligent plot misdirection and all sorts of thrilling viewing? No. This film tries to be a lot more intelligent than it actually is. Like Atlas (Eisenberg) says, "Always be the most intelligent person in the room" or something similar, this film thinks it is being intelligent but actually it's not challenging enough. It gives too much away, isn't as unpredictable as it should be (really, you couldn't see that ending coming?) and just isn't as clever as it promises. The tricks I really wanted explaining weren't... the ones that were more obvious, were explained. The ending actually isn't a denouement, as it's been laying clues all along - and anyone who's seen a lot of films can see the "twists" coming a mile away. I focus on the twists and reveal because as a heist movie, the end is the big reveal. But it has more or less handed it to you on a plate already.The actors were good. Morgan Freeman and Woody Harrelson stealing the show, of course, with Dave Franco doing a bang up job with some incredible physical acting, stunts and so forth. I'm afraid Jesse Eisenberg didn't convince in his character and was annoying after a while, Franco rather underutilised really. Isla Fisher was good but clearly the "glamour" rather than a serious character, which was a shame as she was good.

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't waste your time you would be better off watching sponge Bob.

Nobody here? Spoiler warning: The movie is s parable of the 2008 financial crisis. The opening "bank robbing" is the General Societe, the Englishmen stands for the AIG in London and the head of all even looks like Timothy Geithner. Morgan Freeman is Obama. But while this gives the movie some depth and a bit to laugh it's full of simply unbelievable story telling (remember the trick in the FBI cell of one of the magicians who was cuffed and managed to free himself while cuffing the investigator? While this scene is later in the movie analyzed (because of course there is a camera in the cell) one asks herself why this analyzing wasn't done immediately? I for sure would want to know asap how this could happen if I were an agent ...) But then again, look what "errors" happened under the FED in real life... Apart from that 2008/Wall-Street analogy the movie has it's boring action sequences (oh yeah let's crash some cars again), fast video like cutting ... an average movie.
