Understandably when watching this one feels much is missing, and that's because it is. What's left is the impression of a great film, which no doubt would have been a masterpiece had Welles been given the right to edit as he saw fit. The studio enforced ending is one of the worst endings in film, and indeed a crime against good cinema. Nevertheless, what remains is still a powerful portrayal (I could watch the Holt-Moorehead relationship all day) of the downfall and disintegration of a family.

Underwhelming and disappointing. There are some nice shots, but a lot of the acting is pretty hammy and the central themes, shoved down your throat, just do not grip, possibly because I couldn't bring myself to give a shit about what happened to any of the characters. The notoriously incongruous ending does not help, of course, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy the lost original much better. Would probably repay repeated viewing.

it comes as no surprise to the knowed that this familial fuckfest is another turgid turd from orson. it's bearable only for its aesthetics and quick-moving plot (for a change), but i'm still unconvinced the big O shouldn't have preferred the frozen peas business instead of bothering with this faux-brained neutra-piece. "great shading", i would add, if i were quoting my high school art teacher. one extra point for george's hatred of cars.

Perfect as it exists. We have to trust the hired gun editors were able to trim the fat from Welles' behemoth, because the film proceeds with great care towards its nihilistic ending. The real ending, I mean.

The script is well put together, the cast turn in fine performances, the cinematography is great, & there's a lot of really clever attention to period detail. However, this failed to "click" with me on any level whatsoever, so there isn't a whole lot I can say about it. I found the characters very flat & uninteresting, the family drama bland, & the pacing unbearably slow. I do still wonder what it would have looked like had footage not been lost.

A promising start that seemed like Welles was going to delve deeper into the distinctly American hedonism he explored in Kane gives way to a whole lot of melodrama that hardly feels like it resonates with anything in particular. I love his spoken credits.

It starts off so promising. I was really intrigued with opening narration and the set up, but the story just didn't really keep my attention. Plus George was an exceptionally annoying screen presence. I understand this was edited by the studio and probably accounts for the stiltedness of the story, but it's a little perplexing to me that this is considered one of Welles' masterpieces.

Can't help but wonder what was cut from this film. Even as-is, this has all the ingredients I enjoy: rich people problems, annoying prideful person gets his comeuppance, period movie, generational family drama. I agree with Orson Welles that the happy ending was stupid. Fav scene: heartbreaking one of mom not getting to see her love at her deathbed.

The current 'butchered' version of T.M.A has greatness in it, but that tacked on 'happy' ending is totally counterintuitive and out of synch with proceeding events, which plot a clear downward trajectory for the titular family. Nonetheless, it's a finely acted eulogy for a bygone era, a sentiment evoked astonishingly in its opening montage that, combined with the dulcet tones of Welles' narration, communicates a tremendous feeling of nostalgia, sadness and loss.

Really stiff. Oozing of high pride and unconventional emotional response by Hollywood standards. Framed claustrophobically in dazzling elegance only matched by that of Josef von Sternberg, as if the presentation is more important than the personalities in it, also very unlike Hollywood. Orson Welles delivers a very self-centered project, where his vision is what it has to present. The downfall, and he loved downfalls, is magnificently done, but it only serves as the motion in his atmosphere.
Oct 26, 2018	felipelahm	90 _95%
Family saga through the eyes of unspeakable heir, a man who just spends money - no career, no dreams, just pure greed. Gold is the ruin. He kind of falls for the daughter of Morgan, an inventor of automobiles, as his family starts tearing apart with deaths and the advance of technology. He also makes everything so his mom never marries the man she always loved - Morgan. So profoundly sad and ahead of its time. Third act is a mess without anything about the family's decay the city's modernization

REWATCH: 73 -> 83. Now I see how great this could have been. It is a shame Gregg Toland didn't do the cinematography and it is - above all - a shame that we will never see the original ending. And still, this is a surprisingly powerful film. The story is really really magnificent (haha) and Welles did very well with his adaptation. Could it have been greater than Kane? Possibly, I'm not quite sure. The story is. The movie, I think, could never be as great as Kane without Toland.

I'll be generous and blame it on the mutilation of the final cut by RKO executives, but, (as one character would say,) By Jove! What a tediously boring mess! Granted there's some downright beautiful camerawork and long-takes, if anything, Welles knew how to compose a shot, but everything else about this: the story, the characters, the pacing, the editing, the sound, the acting; is completely uninteresting and unremarkable.

Looking from today, it's terribly dated and has no subtlety at all. We have a Stavrogin-like character, George, who indeed has to be hanged because he tries to stay as an arsitocrat against a bourgeois. Some long shots and the self-reflexive part at the end don't suffice to make this a significant achievement in cinema. I don't have to endure this arrogant bastard George and Welles's overconfidence that he tells something revolutionary. No Orson, it's too pretentious and dumb. I don't buy this.

I was going to come on here and complain about how uneven it felt in regards to pacing and random jumps of time and I find out the studio took control of the editing and chopped it to shit. It's hard for me to rate. There are things that I liked but it's not a movie that appeals to me in the first place and I don't want to dog it too bad because the studio famously took a dump on it.

Orson Welles' juxtaposition of an industrializing America and a deteriorating family in The Magnificent Ambersons works on multiple levels. The adaptation of Booth Tarkington's book is the first, but Orson's direction brings it to a new place, specifically with the lighting and use of shadows that he so eloquently cultivated in Citizen Kane. Tim Holt (George Minafer), Joseph Cotten (Eugene Morgan), and Agnes Moorehead (Fanny Minafer) all give great performances, elevating the movie even further.
