IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

simoneboipelo John form Texan: I know you live in American and race its a big issue over there, but you need to educate yourself and see people for who they are, and not for the color of their skin. What has Obama been president of America have to do with the casting of Zoe in Rosemary's baby.As for the TV series, Rosemary's baby could have been classy. This version was no where near the original but not so bad either. The ending ruined the movie and the unnecessary use of blood and severed body parts. If you have the time watch it. If you don't you didn't miss anything either.

crash881 . I was excited about this mini-series and I really wanted to love the show, but there were so many inconsistencies that make the book and the movie that are just not in the series. Guy is a writer and not an actor. Where is the claim to fame and fortune with him as a writer and English teacher. Tragic..just tragic. The Castovitz appeal was that they were an older couple, who would have thought two grandma/grandpa figures could ever be satanist? Again tragedy, to find the Castovitz are a modern, rich, french couple, who host fetish parties. Terrible...and completely Hollywood. I'm glad Polanski isn't in the states to witness this sad re-make of the masterpiece he created in the 70's.

Cameron Scott I found the movie not as bad as people are trying to say it is. I think people are saying it's bad because they didn't make it exactly like the first film in every single detail or because they expected it to have certain things that it did not. I believe the point of a remake is to make your own version of something, not copy the first film so we all know what'll happen every time. In my opinion, this film did a good job at keeping the main parts of the first film, which is all any remake should do. Outside of the main parts, little things were changed, such as different settings and different groups of people, which original serious fans threw a fit about.Zoe is a beautiful and talented actress and I don't think it was wrong for her to play Rosemary in the film. Zoe is one of Hollywood's new hits, starring in lots of new film, she was perfect for just advertising the movie alone.If you're a serious fan, like you know every single detail from the book and/or the first movie, this film might not be for you in all honesty. If you want to see a modernized version of a film you saw in the past with new famous faces, give this a watch. If you don't know anything about Rosemary's Baby, you should definitely give this a watch. I also thought it was creative how they turned the movie into two parts, I hadn't seen that done yet, but that may just be myself.

wes-connors In Paris, an attractive pregnant woman jumps out of her apartment window, and splatters her bloody body on the sidewalk. Next, also attractive American ballet dancer Zoe Saldana (as Rosemary "Ro" Woodhouse) suffers a miscarriage. She and her struggling writer husband Patrick J. Adams (as Guy Woodhouse) will eventually be "connected" to the couple in the opening scene. They move to Paris, where Mr. Adams gets a professorial job. An unholy combination of providence and happenstance arranges for Saldana to have her purse snatched, which leads to a meeting with eerie Carole Bouquet (as Margaux) and her weird husband Jason Isaacs (as Roman Castevet). The wealthy couple decides to set the younger couple up as parents to a new version of "Rosemary's Baby" (1968)...Many of the changes are plausible and interesting, but they add nothing and bring along a new set of problems. For example, introducing a parallel couple works, but it does make the villains seem less powerful and mysterious. The biggest strength is the expanding of the character played by Mr. Adams, but we jump from him being suspicious (like when he encounters his parallel) to participating wholeheartedly (we guess, from the ending of part one). One of the oddest additions is how Saldana, director Agnieszka Holland and filmmakers give the relationship between "Rosemary" and her attractive sponsor a Lesbian vibe. They kiss several times and Ms. Bouquet even gets to cure a headache by sensuously stroking Saldana's chest...The second half of NBC's two-part TV Movie re-make of writer Ira Levin's classic novel, which was originally directed by Roman Polanski and starred Mia Farrow, covers the "troubled" pregnancy of Rosemary. The interesting revisions introduced in the first half become increasingly uninteresting. The hint of a Lesbian romance between Ro and her sponsor is cast to the wind. Instead, the character seems to go for Guy. Some of the story becomes (unintentionally) laughable, such as the scene where Ms. Saldana chows down on the guts of a chicken. The cat "No-Name" is a real scene stealer. Viewed in a singular sitting – minus many commercials – the film starts out intriguing and drags down as the revisions become predictable. Filmmakers might have been wise to consider an abortion.**** Rosemary's Baby (5/11/14, 5/15/14) Agnieszka Holland ~ Zoe Saldana, Patrick J. Adams, Carole Bouquet, Jason Isaacs
