The Beach Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

xavierramos-79857 This was the first film Di Caprio made after Titanic and as such you could only imagine the expectations especially from the fangirls back then. It was huge. What bout the movie? Well it is a Danny Boyle film many forget and he is a class act. The Beach is based on a book of the same name and has some stunning picturesque locations(Thailand) but there are no redeeming qualities among any of the characters and the film just sort of...trudges along. You can watch it but there's nothing much to recommend- both Boyle and Di caprio have done far better work.

michiostermann The movie the beach was made in 2000 by the british director Danny Boyle. He made his breakthrough with the movie Trainspotting of the year 1996. He is responsible for many other good movies, for example 127 hours with James Franco, 128 days later or the very succesful slumdog millionaire. For me Trainspotting will be always Boyle's best movie. I have seen the beach approximately 1 year ago and i have to say that i wasn't dissappointed about this Drama film, even if the movie can't compete with the best movies of this british guy. Honestly the plot is not so exciting to watch this film more times. But an typical loosening Boyle atmosphere and easygoing Performance by a young Leonardo DiCaprio are enough for me to feel entertained. Leo is one of my favourite actors and i enjoyed it very much to see him in a not so mysterious role like in his younger movies Inception, Shutter Island or The Revenant. (Excepted The Wolf of Wallstreet) Finally i have to say, this film improved my mood and that's the most critical thing for me to recommend you this movie, especially if you like Danny Boyle and Leonardo Dicaprio movies in general. In the end i give this movie 7 from 10 possible stars.

nat-dalby It's just ok. Not terrible by any stretch of the imagination but no masterpiece either. DiCaprio is as strong as ever (and manages to look younger than he does in Titanic despite it being 3 years after) and the classic Danny Boyle trippyness makes its way through. The upbeat ending clashes with the rest of the film and in general it's rather tonally confused.

Floated2 Having not read or being familiar with the novel of which this film is based upon, I had a clear view and non-bias judgment based upon the film in a viewing. The Beach is somewhat looked upon as a forgettable or lesser known film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and a lesser Danny Boyle film. This is for obvious reasons. The film did poorly in the domestic box office but was able to make up its budget due to the foreign market (perhaps due to DiCaprio's starpower, since the Beach was his first film after Titanic). The film has an interesting premise and somewhat decent plot, but it doesn't reach the proper levels that it could have. Not knowing how much is adapted based on the novel, it is more difficult in judging. However, the film is quite bland when watching despite its scenery. It felt more so like an early MTV based film than and actual mature Danny Boyle film. Leo plays an interesting character but besides him, we don't seem to care about the rest, and that hurts the film. The final 30 minutes or so fall downhill as it becomes tiresome and tedious in a bad way.
