The undeniable chemistry between leads Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum is quite delightful, backed up by the fine supporting performance by Brad Pitt in yet another superbly daffy comedic role, a palette of gorgeous exotic locations and a nicely assembled soundtrack. The pacing admittedly sags somewhat in the middle, becoming a little too talky with conversations that don't exactly add a lot, but the film's strong suits contribute much to Adam and Aaron Nee's third feature outing, a terrific date night movie or a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon at the show.… Expand

Sandra Bullock continues to prove that she is a comedic icon. The story has a great message about how true love means more than gold or treasure. Brad Pitt is a great scene-stealer and the highlight of the film. I liked the interplay betweenSandra Bullock continues to prove that she is a comedic icon.

Lost city wasn't that bad for a comedy. The story is derivative of many movies of that style. I mean not really original but some good elements in it. The acting is very good. Good actors who knows how to deliver their timing and lines. JakeLost city wasn't that bad for a comedy. The story is derivative of many movies of that style. I mean not really original but some good elements in it. The acting is very good. Good actors who knows how to deliver their timing and lines. Jake Trainer was absolutely hilarious at the beginning. And Radcliff has a villain is fun to watch. The action is surprisingly, realistic in many ways. The jokes are a mix bag at times but many of them lands. The dramatic elements aren't always setup in a good manner. The music was conventional. I give the movie 72%. I was entertained and it passed the time in a funny way. Go see it for the actors. I think they deserve most of the credits here.… Expand

The Lost City would almost drown in a sea of cliched action-adventure comedy if it weren't for Brad Pitt.

What's up, Streamers? It feels like there have been more streaming options this month than theater options. Once The Batman came out, I guess no studios wanted to put any competition out there. Until this weekend, that is. The Lost CityWhat's up, Streamers? It feels like there have been more streaming options this month than theater options. Once The Batman came out, I guess no studios wanted to put any competition out there. Until this weekend, that is. The Lost City opened in theaters bringing comedy, romance, action, adventure and the return of Sandra Bullock. Here's how it went.

The Lost City is exactly what you might assume it is from the trailers. Sandra Bullock stars as Loretta Sage, a widowed, best-selling romance novelist who is releasing what may be her final novel. Channing Tatum stars as Alan, the cover model for Loretta's romance novels, who is riding high on the fame and worried about it coming to an end. When a mysterious billionaire kidnaps Loretta to assist him in locating a treasure, Alan goes to great lengths to rescue her. Hijinks and a little romance might ensue.

It's a romantic comedy. It's an action and adventure story. The story itself is in no way innovative and you know exactly where it is going the entire time. Therefore, it all succeeds or fails on the strength of the cast, particularly the chemistry between Bullock and Tatum. For the most part, The Lost City succeeds. The leads do have chemistry. It's not necessarily romantic chemistry, but you believe that Loretta and Alan would grow to enjoy each other. There is some good banter back and forth, but not all of the jokes land. Some of that chatter gets a little tiresome. There's really good physical comedy from all of the actors and that keeps the movie chugging along. Plus, there are standouts throughout the cast as Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Brad Pitt all have their moments. It seems like everyone got the memo to just have fun in this movie. Brad Pitt definitely understood the assignment. He steals every scene that he's in. He's very funny and weird and charming. The producers definitely got their money's worth by cast Mr. Pitt.

Ultimately, The Lost City is a fun movie that's not trying too hard to reinvent the wheel. You already know where you're going, so you might as well have fun with it. Is this a rush out and see it movie? Probably not, but it's good enough for a matinee viewing. Get your bowl of popcorn and have some laughs.… Expand

Because it is not only a revival of the genre, but also a new kind of filmmaking based on its classic components.Basically, I think the big problem for great filmmakers is that they don't watch movies correctly!!!!!, before they can start making their own propagandas, before they can make an alien, they can make a Terminator, they can make an avatar, or they can make a Lord of the Rings. Watch the movie like this, Sit Bored 625 times (calculated number according to the main time of this movie). Yeah ,See this masterpiece 625 times and do not be proud. Next, if you go to build a terminator and do not have a billion-dollar audience. ......It is not possible at all. This film should be seen 625 times by any filmmaker, anyone interested in cinema in this field.In my opinion, watching this film 625 times is obligatory for any filmmaker and filmwatcher in this genre (or a film of this power).… Expand

With so many bad reviews, I was kind of surprised how much I enjoyed the movie. The writing and the performances were really sharp from the entire cast and I laughed far more through the entire movie, than I have at anything that has come outWith so many bad reviews, I was kind of surprised how much I enjoyed the movie. The writing and the performances were really sharp from the entire cast and I laughed far more through the entire movie, than I have at anything that has come out of Hollywood for several years. Whilst most of the notes are quite close to a number of similar movies, not least Romancing the Stone (which is acknowledged in a couple of background nods) the movie holds the attention throughout and allows the stars and dialogue to hold the focus with charm and wit in abundance. The Lost City might not be award-worthy but it's certainly far more worthy of your time for a date night than plenty of higher scoring movies, if you just want to smile and laugh for two hours.… Expand

An entertaining Romancing the Stone rip-off. That is better than it has a right to be due to the perfect cast. As well as plenty of laughs. Though I was never feeling the romance aspect of the movie.

Didn’t expect if we need it?

It’s really great movie if still not sure what to watch in the cinemas. Just strolling around and giving this movie a shot. Action-adventure comedy movie like this is really great to lit our weekend consumptionDidn’t expect if we need it?

It’s really great movie if still not sure what to watch in the cinemas. Just strolling around and giving this movie a shot. Action-adventure comedy movie like this is really great to lit our weekend consumption needs – laughter from comedy. Some huge casts are shown up like Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, and Brad Pitt. The movie plot is simple to find the lost city through an unexpected adventurous journey.

The pros are this movie felt entertaining enough through jokes, clear external and internal Hollywood references – citing the movie and using OST music – and actor performances. Practical jokes and rom-com movies typically seem great. Movie narration and jokes seem at a suitable pace. Hollywood references make this movie relatable to the audience. Sorry, I’m not trying to spoil the reference because please just see it lol. Lastly, actor performances are absolutely no doubt caused they are great casts. Visual quality? Just good or Hollywood standards. The cons are the movie plot is too simple and the char's background is too shallow. But actually, these two cons are typical of comedy movies.… Expand

The Lost City is safe, fun, reliable entertainment that even delivers some unexpected moments. The story can best be compared to Romancing The Stone, where a shut-in writer is suddenly thrust into an Indiana Jones style adventure. The endingThe Lost City is safe, fun, reliable entertainment that even delivers some unexpected moments. The story can best be compared to Romancing The Stone, where a shut-in writer is suddenly thrust into an Indiana Jones style adventure. The ending came as a surprise with a rather moving and un-cynical take on love. The acting is well done from a cast of veterans who know what they are doing and have legitimate chemistry together. Special effects blend in well, never being hyper obvious. Soundtrack is reliable, if forgettable. Overall, I recommend it as a safe bet to watch.… Expand
