AUDIENCE REVIEWS FOR HOLLYWOODLAND


 * Jun 17, 2013
   
   I love the noir set up that this film has...you can see how it inspired L.A.
   Noire to some extent. This film tells a compelling story, which is partially
   marred by its length and by the sheer stupidity and suddenness of its
   disappointing ending. Aside from that though, it's a pretty good film.

   Yuck! George Reeves is remembered in a very boring film. Poor guy. First his
   own death and now a second cinematic death. At least Ben Affleck isn't really
   forced to act here. Adrien Brody has no excuse though.

   "Hollywoodland" is not a film that many will have the patience to endure. It
   takes its time to get to the finish, making sure to flesh out its characters,
   and because of this, it moves at a very consistent and very deliberate pace.
   These are the kinds of films that I yearn for. They never seem to be in a
   rush to get anywhere. You can't be impatient. You have to be willing to
   cooperate with the director and the route that he takes. And if you do so,
   there's a good chance you won't be sorry.

   This is a slick period piece with some great production values that concerns
   the final days and mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of actor
   George Reeves, the original Superman before Christopher took over the role
   for the films. It looks at Reeves, but mostly follows the efforts of a
   private eye determined to figure out the truth behind what really happened
   and why. The concept and set up are great, but the results are unfulfilling.
   This one is really trying to swing for the fences and place itself amonsgt
   the ranks of Chinatown (possibly) or L.A. Confidential. It's a noble try, but
   it doesn't quite make it. The performances are actually pretty decent,
   especially from Affleck and Brody, but the story is meandering, plodding, and
   not as gripping as it needed to be. It's a bit of a bore, and doesn't really
   provide the insight I was hoping it might. I dug the technical side of
   things, and there are some good sequences, but ultimately this is just an
   unfocused bore.
