Renegade Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) There was always a taste for the mystic in comic books, 'Blueberry' is a western derived from a comic book and that is a great starting point. It also tries to reach you on a spiritual level specially by showing hallucinations, reminding us of Stanley Kubrick's '2001'. But Jan Koonen should have followed Kubrick's style in what this film lacks the most: clearness, precision, well explained scenes. Instead you see vague and confusing scenes which makes you have to see the film again to understand it. Nowadays, this is not such a problem, but is it worth it? Vincent Cassel is an ideal Blueberry, Juliette Lewis is pretty, interesting and charming as Maria and Michael Madsen is a hateful Wall Blount. If Sergio Leone innovated by creating a showdown of three people in 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' ,Koonen tries to shows us a spiritual, psychedelic showdown. It just does not reach us enough to make it worth seeing.
zero-signal Back in 2004 when Blueberry released, i didn't pay attention. Today i'm very glad that i didn't watch the movie till i had my dmt experience.I'm not comfortable about talking people's choices so i won't tell anything special about experience, every human being have chance to choose which experience to live. After the stunning and amazing experience we got together, all blown up, started to talk about if there is a computer or person or cgi team that could made or even design the same visions we encountered during the experience. We all know Enter The Void, it begins with the main character's dmt trip. it's visuals was OK but no where near our experience. At last we decided that Alex Grey's paintings are the closest possible cartoon copies of the visuals of the trip, until one of us mentions Blueberry. Unfortunately nobody watched it except him.I like Vincent Cassel. Love Juliette Lewis. And I, well... got used to Michael Madsen. Michael Madsen is Michael Madsen in Blueberry once again. Exact same gestures, mimics, talking style and movements. He is like Highlander of mafia guys. There can be only Madsen.Anyway Bluberry has beautiful scenes and smartly crafted motives. It's about greedy little human f***ks and the humans who had the influence of where really we are and respect the place. Just because of those points you can watch Blueberry and enjoy it.And finally, when they reach the gold, the real story begins. Dmt experience is the experience you have to had to enjoy last thirty minutes of this film. I am sure that everybody who took part of making the last thirty minute experienced dmt. the special effects of the trip are most accurate depiction of what you experienced out there but unfortunately they are near no where the actual "thing". While i was watching it, i smiled like i am watching an old private video of mine. So even you won't want to have an experience of dmt just know that there is a meaning and a strong reality about those parts of the Blueberry and judge by knowing it.If i don't experienced something like that i am pretty sure i would give Blueberry 5/10 points. But this movie is a little different with it's attitude, editing. it's absorbing. Like Yuni said in the movie, plants have ability to show you who you are and where are we. Blueberry is a homage to that sentence.One last thing. I think Michael Madsen supposed to be villain of this film. Not even close!!! Something 7500 voters misunderstood about this movie.
endymionng Fans and readers of the Moebius/Giraud/Charlier comic book graphic novels will know that it does indeed have some surrealistic tendencies here and there (especially in "La mine de l'allemand perdu" 1971, which is probably the story where this movie get most inspiration from and "Angel Face"). However I can honestly say that pretty much the only thing that this movie has in common with the comics is the names of some of the characters. This movie is first and foremost a visual trip more related to "2001" or "Altered States" than any western you have ever seen. This is not necessarily a bad thing and definitely a different take on the western genre, but I do hope that there maybe will be a more "literary" adaption for either screen or TV. Story is pretty simple but told with quick cuts, constantly moving panning shots or some seriously weird CGI - In other words the camera is never still, which might make the story hard to follow for some. Still this IS a fascinating movie and the panning long shots are truly beautiful. Depending on ones tolerances for more or less mind altering substances this movie could be even better or awful in the extreme :-). I saw it rather sober, so 8 is a fair judgment in my opinion.
bth2004 This may be the dumbest film I have ever seen! The previews say "This movie breaks the mold of the Western genre". No. This movie stuffs the Western genre into a blender, adds in sci-fi, puts in a drop of porn, hits frappé, and then pours the concoction down the toilet! Who the (expletive) came up with the idea of the spiritual visions that look like a kaleidescope on PCP? These journeys take up a good 10-15 minutes of the movie! With a small bit of voice-over, you're watching a spectral lights show instead of a movie!The most awful thing is this: there is almost nothing in this piece of junk that can identify it as a Western! Yes, the location is in Colorado or something (an assumption because of all the mountains) and everybody wears Western-style clothing, but that's it! There are only like 3 bullets shot in the entire movie...and that's what you watch a Western to see! There's none of it! And for all the talk about revenge, you don't see any freaking revenge being taken! Come on!The only plus is that the acting didn't suck. Several good actors in this thing--Michael Madsen was good, Vincent Cassel and Juliete Lewis did their parts well (with that bit of porno at the end that added absolutely NOTHING to the movie at all!!!!!!), and the supporting actors were good.I beg you all, if you've not seen this movie, for the love of heaven, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! IT IS HORRIBLE! SAVE YOUR BRAIN MATTER AND SPEND YOUR EVENING MORE PRODUCTIVELY!!!!!
