The Fly Audience Reviews

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
cheryllawrence-41883 David Cronenberg is an artist and the Fly is one of his most amazing efforts- This is a remake of a much older film but Cronenberg gives it sufficient touches to be considered the maker. The atmosphere is amazing and the city of Toronto has never had as much presence in a film as it has here. Jeff Goldblum as the crazy scientist who starts transforming into a fly is great here as is Geena Davies as the reporter turned lover. Special effects are outstanding and you can possibly squirm when Brundle starts to undergo all the physical changes. The end is tragic and moving. Though there is enough body horror at show here The Fly woks as a touching story which will appeal to a broader audience. This is a great science fiction film and not to be missed.
christopherhodges-91529 One of the most mainstream David Cronenberg films the Fly is considered a cult classic today and rightly so- featuring a stunning turn by Jeff Goldblum and ably supported by Geena Davis(who were married back then) the Fly is a remake of an earlier film but is a massive improvement. The city of Toronto is as much a character as the people it features some stomach churning scenes. Kudos must go to the puppeteers and make up artists who do a stunning job.
eagandersongil "The White-Headed Fly" of 1959 wins a remake at the hands of the great and stylish David cronenberg, long that had everything to be more a movie trash movie, or worse, to be a total joke, but the excellent direction of Croneberg removes all The risks of the film being bad, despite an absurd script, we have a movie style, transgressor and that goes from this comedy to suspense going through a good dose of science fiction. It tells the story of Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a scientist who can find a way to teleport, and in the middle of his experiments he ends up merging his DNA with a fly, and ends up transmuting itself in the insect during the film. This is the script that Croneberg takes in his hand and the ciarra, and makes the trash, a cult. The rhythm of the film is completely linear, although the film is extremely short, it is well solved in what it claims to have, but it has a problem, it was not enough to develop the characters, numerous subplots are created, and none of them is solved. The film pincel deal with a moral about the human ego and the pursuit of professional accomplishment but ends up dealing with love, which is the same regardless of physical appearance, but it is nothing that we have not seen in 500 other films, which we We have not seen in 500 other films is his art direction, which is wonderful, with great and salve highlight the fly that is terrifyingly realistic in all its phases, spectacular work, all hi tech side of the film, which although it is cliché to Season, is very well worked out, and his gray photography does not let us lie that we are seeing a movie from the 80s. Just as jack nicholson already seemed crazy about this first scene of "The Enlightened One", Jeff Goldblum already seems a strange being from this The first scene of the film, this is not bad, its performance is good, and the same fulfills its role, the dramatic charge is more for Geena Davis, and she can handle and develop this load, not brilliantly, but Competently. "The Fly" will not be on the list of best movies, but its boldness and transgression are notorious, and the work of David Croneberg will always be remembered.
HughButtsworth David Cronenberg's The Fly is one of my favourite horror films. It tells a multi-layered human story with believable well-motivated characters. It is set before the introduction of CGI and utilises prosthetic makeup for the creature effects. There is no better effect than that of Jeff Goldblum's acting though. His fast speaking and twitching become utterly convincing as he gets more and more fly-like in his journey. I watched this film again recently and was happily appreciative of how well it holds up today. It has hardly dated at all.
