rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nicndere - “The Beach,” is the movie which lasted as long as two hours, and had to do with lots of violence, profanity, nudity, and drug use. Director is Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting” 1996, “A Life Less Ordinary 1997,” and “Alien Love...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Marlowe7789 - In Leonardo Dicaprio's eagerly anticipated followup to the massively popular Titanic, Leo chose the low road and went for a much lower budget adaptation of the popular contemporary novel by Alex Garland. The movie, while visually stunning, does the book...

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 16:53:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pugslyaddams - I fear that Titanic subjected Earth to one fate worse than that Celine Dion song, it ruined The Beach. This movie has won a place in my heart as the most under-rated film of all time.

Danny Boyle had already guaranteed a spot in my heart...

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 05:03:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author djkohn - I enjoyed this movie, I thought it was a very different concept and plot for a movie. This film was nothing like I had expected it to be, I was expecting a more action flick where DiCaprio went to some Island, and basically the natives were restless and...

Sun, 13 May 2001 16:43:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Suzer - The reality is that the best part of The Beach was the credits. I was in seventh heaven when I successfully attained my goal of sitting through this movie. No, I didn’t win millions, but I successfully suffered through the watching. I also...

mvie mu-1094891: The Beach in seclusion.

Mon, 7 May 2001 12:19:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author papito - This is definitely an interesting movie. At the start of the film, you think that it is going to be about a young man finding his own paradise island. But this is no Blue Lagoon.

It is interesting to watch a group of people that come to the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movie_mania -

I don't care what anyone says about this movie, I loved it! I usually avoid the Leo Dicaprio films but this was certainly one of his finest. The only other Dicaprio film I liked was Romeo and Juliet. The Beach was...

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 07:22:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ParisLemon - Upon a second viewing, I have come to the conclusion that this movie isn't half bad. I thought after the first time I saw it that maybe I was just in a good mood, and that I was giving it way too much credit, I mean after all it is a Leonardo DiCaprio...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Stephsmith - The Beach somewhat reminded me of Lord of the Flies,but was slightly different.I think the movie conveyed a message of how far people are willing to go to get what they want.There are ruthless marijuana growers who protect the island that holds the...

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 21:56:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author splitsurround - Danny Boyle’s film adaptation of Alex Garland’s novel “The Beach” is a failure from start to finish. Even worse, I’m not even comparing it to the book, which I never read. Nope, comparisons aside, judged on its own, “The Beach” comes off as a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MoonBeam1965 - This is a wonderful drama about the "perfect" beach and to what lengths people will go to protect their privacy and their happiness.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Desteny - I won't amke any bones about it: I dislike Leonardo DiCaprio. Strongly. But when I saw this movie, even I had to admit that he and Virginie Ledoyen really make it right. It was an incredible atmospheric journey-- to Thailand, to a tropical...

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 20:18:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author astira_1776 - Everyone has fetishes, obsessions, fixations and general attachments they carry around with them, and movie patrons personify this. For some, the movie’s plot must be out of this world, while other times characterization remains paramount.

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 13:35:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BonMasterB - This film is an effort to do the impossible, make a film out of the internal thought processes of the first person narrative in the book. It does it badly to top it all off.

It is a difficult task indeed to come into the world of Richard is a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drgndncr - I'm not a big fan of DiCaprio's, but I do have respect for what he's trying to do with his acting. Remembering him playing Luke on Growing Pains when I was younger and seeing him portray Richard in "The Beach" increases my respect for his...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BARNZ - I rented this DVD and as soon as I got home I wondered why. Then I started watching the movie and I wondered even more. Before I say anything else I will say that I'm glad I rented it on DVD instead of video.

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 15:31:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kittyclaw - Finally a movie with Decaprio that's not crapio. This movie makes a statement about American lifestlyes and ideologies. It really drives home a point about our culture that many people don't want to face. I wont reveal what this point is, you'll have...

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 02:10:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ArchieSicat - It's a great scene where we first get a glimpse of Richard's (Leo) determined nature. Angered by shark false alarm played on him by the French couple, he uses his own anger to propel himself to the shore. No wonder Leo took the gamble taking this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Valerie47 - Ok, I basically knew nothing about this movie when I rented it. I did remember seeing the previews a while ago and just remembered it looked "suspenseful". Well, it was.
