Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The room is bad, but at least I can laugh at that. This movie has some great actors which got me to want to see it, but man it does not deserve the 6/10 that it has I think. I actually rate this lower than the room because no parts I could laugh at and it was so slow and nothing saved it for me. I felt like I was in the movie theater watching this for 3 hours instead of almost 2. I remember very little from this movie because I tried to block it from my memory so hard.

A basic concept executed perfectly by talented director's the Coen's imagine a brilliant action packed world in 'Hail, Caesar!' Feeling constantly shifting and lively this allows the brothers to flex their style and show the brilliance the two are capable of with ease its brilliant. Conspiracies, controversies, dance numbers and difficulty this film is brilliant

I am tempted to give it a higher score simply because of how I love the way the Coen Brothers craft their movies. This one has that classic touch of theirs: the scenes are meticulously staged, the dialogue is precise, the humor and commentary is perfectly delivered, each shot feels like an illustration, and the casting is on point.Despite all of this, and many memorable moments throughout the film, it just seems like it was aiming to be so much more. Maybe that part was just me. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy its ending for it drove home a message that I think is quite important to live by.

A rambling shaggy dog story set in Hollywood of the 1950's ... a movie star (George Clooney) is kidnapped off the set of a Biblical epic he's starring in. There are a couple of distinct but related subplots, and all of it ties back to studio exec Josh Brolin trying to put out all the fires while considering a better job offer from Lockheed. Every once in a while, the Coens make a film simply because it amuses them and allows them to exercise their love of classic Hollywood. This is one of those. They stage multiple scenes from films being made by this studio ... musicals, westerns, comedies, epics ... and each is a meticulously recreated pastiche of a 50's film. If you're on their wavelength, it's immensely rewarding. If you're not, it's a bunch of stars gathered together for a plot that ultimately goes almost nowhere. I'm in the first camp ... I loved this.
