Is Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas just the best film ever made or what?!?

Question

I love it but alot of my friends think its s h i t e

Answer 1

Well no it is not the best film ever made, but it is good enough because of Johnny Depp...

It is supposed to be a true story of Hunter Thompson and I know Johnny worked with Hunter on the movie to perfect the character...

Answer 2

I agree with the guy called Fletch.

As much as it is a good movie, Hunter S. Thompson's writing is quite manic and it's somethimes quite hard to capture that in a film.

Benicio Del Toro was awesome as Dr. Gonzo, and Johhny Depp was his usual reliable self as Mr' Raoul Duke.

Answer 3

Terry Gilliam handled it greatly, and Johnny Depp and Del Toro are just amazing. You really should check out the book, it will bring you a completely new appreciation for the film.

Answer 4

The book is far better. Only Johnny Depp saved the film.

Answer 5

My fiance's brother/and his gf LOVE that movie, I watched it twice but didn't think it was that great. There was another movie they are obsessed about right now...something about a kid who is addicted to drugs (has his arm amputated in the end of the movie) and his mother basically goes crazy since she's taking these diet pills and over-dosing. In one scene the fridge is coming after her. It's a really weird movie...

Answer 6

I really liked it. My BF normally doesn't have the best taste in movies, so I wasn't expecting much when he recommended I see it, but I really did like it. Johnny Depp is an amazing actor...just about anything he touches turns to gold.

Answer 7

I also think it's a good movie, although the book is even better. It's hard to capture the essence of Hunter Thompson in movie-form. I think that movie did it about as well as it could be done. And Depp, of course, was brilliant.

Answer 8

It is NOT the book, and that is where the shame lies.



It prefers to focus on the excesses, rather than what he was covering

Answer 9

A man after my own heart

I LOVE THAT MOVIE

its was the best movie

Answer 10

It's fabulous, a brilliant realisation of Hunter's book which is also great.

Answer 11

It is the worst movie I have ever seen (and I like Johnny Depp). It celebrates mindless drug use.

Answer 12

well then, your friends are morons (sorry)...that's a GREAT flick! hunter s. thompson was one tripped-out guy, and depp plays him perfectly.

Answer 13
