The Beaver - Movie Review by Chris Stuckmann

[@manlyastronaut6984]

I'm watching this in 2016. Chris, you changed. A lot. I mean, A lot.

[@theFLICKpick]

I do wanna see Crazy Old Mel with a puppet, Ill check this one out on blu-ray. Nice review and even nicer sock puppet...

[@tylerolsonfilms]

this was one of the first stockman reviews I ever saw

[@tabalingataqhobela1911]

Stuckmann not Stockman

[@germanmartinez1994]

bring back this look chris

[@pwnshhhop51]

Five years is a long time isn't it?

[@classicmodernfilms7602]

This movie is underrated.

[@ianlawrencesantos3887]

THE INTRO 🤣

[@ChrisStuckmann]

@AnnaBarton10 Yeah I posted it on my facebook days ago haha you must not be friends with me on there.

[@SeeItInIMAX]

I am not sure if I'll be able to see this film in the theatres because it wasn't allowed to be released worldwide due to the sketchy reception it got in art house cinemas. But I do want to see this. I agree with Chris on what he said about actors being directors and the communication between other actors. There are quite a few actors out there that direct and their good at it.

[@MikeBannShow]

i always tell people what you said, separate the art from the artist like when tom cruise was going crazy i said that should not keep you away from his movies, he is so talented and thats the same thing with mel gibson, great review

[@bonzodog67lizardking15]

I just wish Mel's character's problem with the puppet was resolved with a less violent plot device. The ending was tonally off.

[@MH-ys2gd]

i just finished watching the movie and omg i loved it so much, very original, as you said in your review. also interesting that this review is 10 years old.

[@gristlefat]

watching in 2016, took me forever to watch DA BEVAR!

[@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@TyJensenable I am sick of people saying crap about Avatar. The story seems very much like Dances With Wolves but only at first glance as i've watched it more i've appreciated the story more. It has so many sci-fi flourishes that it seems kind of original you just have to look at it in a different perspective. The first 2 hours are kind of slow but there's enough eye candy to keep me moderately entertained sadly that doesn't make it good but the exciting & moving final hour does. Powerful movie

[@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@TyJensenable well that's your opinion. I just think it's much better then a lot of people are saying. Not a masterpiece or anything but it's still great.

[@BambuProductions]

I'm definitely going to check out if gets release here. I agree with your position on judging famous people. Good review!

[@sfighter991]

I've seen the first trailer, and the premise looks really good.

[@TheRocknRollfreak]

Good review! I'm gonna have to wait to see this on dvd though I don't think the movie is coming anywhere near where I am.

[@KubaRoman]

agree with you about judging people! we all make mistakes....just the majority of us have the luxury of not having everything recorded in our lives...but great review! ill wait for the dvd/blu ray release..too many big movies this summer i gotta save up for :p

[@StuffedBurritoEnt]

Very excellent review. I've been wanting to see this for the longest time.. It sucks that it's bombing in limited release. How easily the public forgets how talented Gibson is and the classic films he's made for us. Like you said, We all say stupid things when we're mad and drunk but because he was recorded saying that stuff, he's beneath us all. Bullcrap. I like Gibson, I respect him as an actor and director. I want to see this film.

[@ChrisStuckmann]

@095293003 I can't believe people still do this.

[@broghad8241]

Chris used to be laid back and cool Nowadays he'd cancel Mel Gibson instead of being "non judgemental"

[@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

not all movies today are sequels,prequels,remakes & reboots. There are also a lot tv show adaptions,book adaptions,video games adaption & Adam Sandler type-cast movies LOL

[@shantishanti1949]

The Movie was great in my opinion- 5 out o 5 - I would have preferred a different ending from 1hour 11 minutes onwards but that means 1 hour 11 minutes was just great for me and the last 10 minutes were rushed to fit into cinema timeframes. What it said to me was if your are mentally UNWELL then you better get well quickly...GET WELL QUICKLY as we wont tolerate you being different for long...even if your successful with your difference .... ..fall in line, tow the line, be the same as us or else.....and be like us quickly EVEN if you are harming no one BE LIKE US OR ELSE. This has nothing to do with Mels troubles at the time... it was written years and years before his alleged outburst so has NOTHING to do with it. I wish the ending had the Beaver still present - great insight into family depression and for me the intolerance of those in the family of those that have 'mental illness' or are simply eccentric, different ... the need to get well (be the same) quickly... very Orwellian - we must all be the same, think the same ...

[@jadaaleeshamindexpert7365]

I loved it

[@sergioccs74]

Wow Chris, what a change, you look a lot more presentable now hahaha

[@deathbyinternet8612]

Ray Winston. Winston as in Winston Churchill not win stone lol

[@moviefan978]

yeah i really liked this movie to.

[@willp2877]

I consider myself a very sane person. I'm just a casual movie watcher. More of a music guy than a film guy. Usually movies have no huge emotional effect on me. I mean, I can always enjoy a great film and be moved by it but I mean "The Beaver" had me in tears... punching my pillow. Yeah... Not even bullshitting. Tears. And pillow pounding. Nothing made sense in my life at that moment in time in my life. And it wasn't even because I was moved in any way shape or form by the story. Not those kind of tears. It wasn't like no fucking Good Will Hunting type tears. Its not like i got something out of it morally. My body just couldn't take the tension I had just witnessed. Fuck Mel Gibson and fuck this movie. Fuck it. A hilariocity review would be pretty on point for this 1.

[@devinharbert6071]

Review edge of darkness

[@Violn95]

Man, revisiting these old reviews is kinda sad, given the context behind them

[@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@DAmicoJohnny speaking of un originality.... There were so many gremlins rip off in the 80s(Ghoolies(1985),Critters(1986),Muchies(1987),Hobgoblins(1987). & each one of then had sequels. Other then Critters getting good reception & Munchies usually being referred to as "average" the gremlins rip-offs were bashed. Hobgoblins is widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever. Imagine how many rip-offs there's be if it was made now.

[@projektSoulXpat]

Separate the art from the artist. And yes, if we were being followed by cameras, we'd be doing more stupid and crazy shit. Stop judging Mel Gibson. He already repented and asked for forgiveness. Who are we to judge the man?

[@keydemographics]

174th!! just to show solidarity

[@hayman122]

[@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@DAmicoJohnny yes and let's not forget predictable & inconsistently funny rom-coms....& mindless action movies. Got anymore up your sleeve?

[@snaek29]

Hey.... Been going backwards from 2022 and suddenly I'm hitting you giving star ratings instead of grades? It's thrown off my selection mojo.

[@FallenHellscape]

My god, your hair. Quite different these days.

[@masterofgnargnar]

@095293003 why?

[@petersmith9633]

I may not be a perfect person but you would never catch me saying bigoted things unless I said, "Did you hear Mel Gibson saying..."
