Cowman | 85 96th |
The perfect music video to one of the most important albums in Rock history. There are no real dialogues and there's no conventional plot like most of us are used to, but the story is told through music and beautiful, disturbing and psychedelic images and animations. Thats why i guess it's for fans only.

The animated scenes were amazing, rest was boring, and the music isn't really that great. Yep, The Wall is just pretty bad overall. If it was all animated, this would be rated much higher.

I've seen this movie about 50 times (possibly more). My "favorites" tend to fall into two categories: films I most want to see again, and films I've had my fill of but enjoyed greatly at the time. The Wall would belong in the latter category. There's no surprises left and it doesn't captivate me the way it used to. It's so familiar to me that I can't possibly provide any kind of objective viewpoint.

I wish it had more animated sequences.

Mean teachers, smothering mothers and unfaithful women produce alienation and apparently fantasies of neo-nazism.

An essentially overwhelming experience (possibly more so coming in 'cold' and being largely unfamiliar with the album), this still has moments of greatness, especially in Geldof's quite brilliant performance (the neo-Nazi rally is an incredible set piece). Unfortunately it's all so bleak and ugly, without a leavening sense of humour (or much insight) - ultimately feels like the stream of conscious ravings of a manic depressive. Still memorable, and probably one to return to.

"The Wall" is one of the best music albums I've ever heard, so that's the first reason this film is great. The second are definitely the absolutely stunning animated sequences. The third the story, symbolic, somewhat bizzare, but actually *saying* something. Weird, but unforgettable.

Doesn't quite work as a movie, in spite of the imaginative effort involved.

It's probably better on psychotropics but its still a damn good film on its own with extremely powerful imagery and wonderful soundtrack.

majestic and mysterious...dark and deep...startling images vibrating between rich deep music surrounds this movie in lushness and mind-numbing psychedelica

I tried not to let my love for Pink Floyd skew my opinion of this film, and whether it did or not, this is just fantastic. A wonderful synthesis of stirring music and surreal images. Almost completely devoid of dialogue, this is a pure visualization of the ideas and emotions presented on the album.

Jeb | 85 70th |
The Wall is an eccentric, capricious and unconventional descend into delusion from the mind of one of the most important musicians ever. Impenetrable, cryptic and inscrutably indecipheral, it brings the culminating and surpassing music of a miraculous career of Pink Floyd to a new league. It also includes a wonderful and imperative soundtrack. Absolutely efficient, essential and irresistible gem that needs more understanding and perception from everybody in this world.

janus | 65 40th |
Parker's direction lacks panache, especially during setpieces like "Education". If the protagonist's arc from fame to fascism says anything insightful about fame or fascism it's escaped my understanding. Only the animated sequences properly complement the feelings of isolation, loathing, persecution suggested by the lyrics and music.

If the entire movie was animated it'd be one of the best movies ever. As it stands it's just pretty good. Good thing Evangelion came out thirteen years later and put it to shame.

This is something else. The music becomes haunting when combined with visuals especially in the animated sections that usually show nothing but despair. I think you appreciate how everything has came together with such synergy more than anything.

although I mostly loathe the character limit of the mini-reviews in criticker, what i want to say about the wall is rather short and simple: if I had seen this movie before I had listened to the wall, the lyrics, the visuals and the music would have blown me away. but with things as it is, the movie the wall is nothing but a companion to a fantastic album for me, despite being an absolutely stunning picture.

A really good musical, which tells an interesting story using metaphor and song.

I considered this film the Greatest thing I have ever had the fortune of bearing witness to when i saw it on TV when I was 16. It's gotten less like that over the years but the experience of watching it for the first time I'll hold dearly

The rating is all about music, and imho movie just can't match, and it's not movie's fault, what can match such a music?
