    Means nothing
    One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

    Unfortunately all Oscar winning movies were bad in the recent years but this one is by far the worst one.

    The spry is meaningless, the comedy scenes are made in very embarrassing way, the actions scenes are extensively ridiculous.

    No story at all and the main idea of the movie is handled in the worst way you can even imagine.

    It worth less than zero but the is the minimal rate we can give to a move an this movie deserves it but I would say if there is a rate less than zero this will be the first movie to put in this category.

    I am not exaggerating if I say this could be the less meaningful movie I have ever seen.

    Everything, Everywhere Discombobulated
    I actually sat through this overlong picture twice and still had difficulty making heads of tails of much of it. We have Bruce Lee, Rod Serling and George Lukas all thrown together to come up with something that, in my opinion, should have been better. In all fairness, let me say I'm not a big fan of Sci Fi and movies over two hours. So perhaps my review isn't completely fair. It seemed to go everywhere, in all directions, hence its name,, in a discombobulated fashion. I gave 'EEAAO' six stars because of the excellent performances of Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Kwan and Jamie Lee Curtis in probably her best role to date. Despite their participation in this messy film, 'EEAAO' didn't do it for me as it obviously did for most of the viewing audience. It should have been shorter and less convoluted.

    Editing masterpiece
    This film has clever editing. For starters the editing pace is much faster then normal - even in a slow paced dialogue scene at the start. Why? Because the filmmakers are training and preparing the viewer to the chaos that is about to come and the editing pace is only getting faster. By the time the action starts the viewer has gotten used to the fast editing and can enjoy the film. Well deserved Oscar for Film Editing, thank you Paul Rogers. Other areas and topics of the film are equally noted and the film won seven Oscars in total, including Best Picture. If you haven't watched this yet, I can totally recommend.

    What a mess
    I find this movie Highly overrated, I had big expectations due to the 8+ rate. But after having watched the movie for half an hour I got bored already. The first scenes are pretty good, the introduction, the family and the busy chaos is drawing you into the movie but when the multiverse thing starts it is getting bad, the movie itself becomes a chaos with tacky and cheap scenes which make no sense at all. This movie is from that moment onwards really a mess and especially the fragmented and bad storytelling makes that I lost interest. I find this movie worth no more than a 4. Also I regret to have spend al, that money for the tickets.

    Tried to Watch This Movie Twice
    Tried to Watch This Movie Twice. Failed both times.

    It's beyond stupid. This second time I was most disgusted with the fake Jackie Chan husband explaining the whole point of the movie because they couldn't figure out some way to actually make a decent movie. There's a name for this in movie making when the actor talks the plot instead of the movie showing the action. Basically, it means it's a crappy movie.

    And his high pitched voice is like he's pretending to be gay or something but it's his real voice. I love and respect Michelle Yeo's acting but this is not anything close to a real movie. Got to 37 mins this time, and could not hold back the nausea any longer.

    I suggest reading more of the 1 star reviews and taking heed, as they explain my perspective better than I'm going to take anymore time. You have been warned!

    Perfectly imperfect
    I get why some may find this isn't for them. However, to me this film works on several levels for different audiences. It can be deep if you want it to be or a movie that has people with hot dog hands. I enjoyed it tremendously even with its quirks and even agreeing that there are things this film does completely wrong. I think this adds to the statement it is trying to make. Appreciate it as it is not as you would want it to be. Yes it's a mess and that's the point.

    The cast is outstanding. Quan and Yeoh work well together and show range. Stephanie Hsu holds her own and steals many of the scenes.

    Love saves the many universes
    It's the worst movie I've seen in a long time. I honestly don't understand those who recommended it to me so much. In a family drama disguised as a multivessal conflict. The big villain is simply a teenager with acceptance issues. A family that has to resolve their common conflicts or all the universes collapse. And how is the great multiversal conflict resolved??? Of course.... With the force of love!! ....My God, kill me! Two long and tedious hours of exaggerated and meaningless fights that end up dizzying or boring, I don't remember what happened to me first. The over-the-top performances are in keeping with the style of the film. I believe and I reiterate that it would not be so bad if they took away 45 min.

    All that flash, No substance
    This film is just noise on the TV screen with a very mediocre plot.

    The next generation may have a low attention span, so it feels like they have catered for that. They have tried to juice up the plot with a feel good experience, but it it feels like it they are just jamming it down my throat.

    The film pace is completely wrong. This film leaves know time to feel, and imagine. I guess it goes with the title.

    The only thing they have done of interest is cast a older Asian lady as a protagonist in a big budget pile of garbage.

    Save your eyes for something that's worth savouring.

    Best film of the year it wouldn't make my top 100.

    One of the best movies ever!!! Instant cult classic.
    Leave your judgements at the door and buckle your seatbelt. I couldn't stop laughing after watching, just remembering parts. I watched it again and got even more out of it. Amazing acting - I would have trouble selecting my favourite because all the leads were phenomenal. Original characters like Deirdre Bobeirdre will be cult favourites - way to go Jamie Lee Curtis!

    This is a deeply moving story with many layers, told through humour and imagination. If you are easily offended and rigid in your thinking perhaps it is not for you, but I'd encourage opening your mind and taking a journey. You may see the world a little differently.

    A Mess
    I watched this film based on the 8.1 rating and some of the rave reviews and I am astounded at such praise for this mess of a film.

    It started out fine as Michelle Yeoh and her husband are called to an IRS office in a dispute over the taxes they owe on their laundry.

    Jamie Lee Curtis is funny as the IRS auditor who is making their lives difficult.

    Early on the film turns completely bizarre with Yeoh entering an alternate universe with a series of nonsensical scenes and endless kung fu encounters with numerous villains.

    A giant bagel is at the center of the story and it left me scratching my head in bewilderment.

    Please take my advice and save yourself from two hours and nineteen minutes of nonsense.
