First 20 minutes are ok, another hour is just extremely boring (and so not scary!), hardly kept myself from falling asleep. Actors are ok, decorations are ok, but the script of the 'scary part' is absolutely awful, honestly speaking I wouldFirst 20 minutes are ok, another hour is just extremely boring (and so not scary!), hardly kept myself from falling asleep. Actors are ok, decorations are ok, but the script of the 'scary part' is absolutely awful, honestly speaking I would prefer some kinda family drama with two main characters of this film.… Expand

MR JONES is so lazy in its story telling that it doesn't even bother giving any exposition, making it next to impossible to tell what the hell is even going on. It's more like a collection of scenes rather than a unified whole.

I don't want to waste more of my time reviewing this "movie", so I'll go straight to the point. The first minutes of Mr. Jones are quite well done and the main leads are likable. Unfortunately, it falls flat after the second half because it becomes very confusing, the whole plot is difficult to follow, the film turns out dull and uninteresting. This is one of the worst found-footage films I have seen, and I have seen a lot. Seriously, the last 30 minutes are a torture but I gave it a chance because I love found-footage movies, I saw it until the end credits. Sadly I didn't find a payoff.

Mr. Jones (the dude, not the film) is terrifying, he is creepy and in some scenes he gave me the creeps, but the worst thing about this flick is how that is the best thing about it. Another issue is that the characters became atrociously stupid in the second half and they started to make brainless decisions. I just read the plot line on IMDb, it's so freaking awesome!, maybe with another director it would have been great. Moving on, the final act is very strange, these dumb characters begin to hallucinate, then they leave the found-footage style and after several minutes of boredom, it finally ends.

Mr. Jones ends up being confusing, boring and a disappointment. There are only a couple scenes that I liked, but they don't make any sense. One of these scenes is when the guy goes down to a weird place underground and he finds a dead baby. Anyway, Mr. Jones had potential but it was so boring, tedious and it lacks of character development. I really like the camera work but the characters are dumb and the plot is confusingly strange. In conclusion, Mr. Jones has a few scary moments and good acting, however the film wastes its creepy villain in a confusing, uninteresting tale. [F+]… Expand
