October 13, 201410 yr Saw the movie this weekend. It was f***ing amazing! I loved Amy's character SO much. Everyone gasped when she hit herself with a hammer even though it was incredibly obvious that she would do that. This reaction made me laugh. Oh and I loved the bloodbath scene <3
October 14, 201410 yr This was fantastic I thought, very intriguing from the outset.. once it kicked in with Amy and all her crazy it was brilliant. Shame about the abrupt ending but still a solid movie. I only got halfway through the book it bored me to tears, very rare I prefer the film to the book!
October 14, 201410 yr "Abrupt ending"?! The film carried on for about fifteen minutes after what seemed like the conclusion, just like Dragon Tattoo. Not complaining though, the last hour was wildly entertaining. I really need to see this film again. The bloodbath scene as mentioned by Panel was f***ing awesome.

October 17, 201410 yr :( This name change needs to happen. Also, this was the best film I've seen this year. So many jaw dropping plot twists and turns and unexpected moments.
October 17, 201410 yr This film was nuts! Loved every minute of it. Although the ending was an anti-climax, imo.
October 17, 201410 yr I loved this film and it's possibly my film of the year! I just love how there wasn't one basic plot but it kept carrying on where most films would finish and it showed that it cared about it's characters as it wanted to show the aftermath of each twist and turn and they react to them.
October 24, 201410 yr "Gone Girl" is definitely one of the most hyped films of the year! It's based on the novel of the same name of Gillian Flynn who also wrote the screenplay of the film. "Gone Girl" was the opening film of the 52nd New York Film Festival and received very positive reviews. The extremely well made official trailer, which was created for the promotion of the film in cinemas, on television and the Internet, persuades the viewers to go watch this movie whether they have read the book or not. It has already screened in my country's theaters for a fourth week with great success. "Gone Girl" is based on the disappearance of a young woman on the day of the 5th anniversary of her marriage. Her husband is considered as the main suspect for being relaxed and calm after the unfortunate incident. I can tell that "Gone Girl" was exciting until the first half of the film (the cinema hall had an intermission). There was a great deal of mystery about the disappearance. Ben Affleck didn't persudade us 100% if he was either innocent or guilty, and the plot kept our interest every minute. From the second half and then, things were revealed immediately and the story became literally a bit of a stretch. David Fincher is the director of the film and we are used to disappoint from him at the end of his films, such as The American version of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Panic Room". Although in this case it was not his fault because the book's events evolve in this way. The writer wanted him to make an exact adaptation of the story. It would have been excellent if the overall duration was less than 149 minutes, and the movie ends shortly after the second half. It was no way predictable but it was excessive and I found the end quite frustrating. With this kind of concept, the writer could make the difference but unfortunately succeeded it in a totally different way. The plot became so much more controversial than our minds could handle. The performances were very good by the two stars although Ben Affleck seem to play himself. He usually has this half asleep look. On the other hand, Rosamunde Pike was incredible with her role and reached the top of her career with this film. Apart from "Pride and Prejudice", I had seen her participate in mediocre films such as "An Education", "Surrogates" and "Wrath of the Titans". However, the character potrayed in "Gone Girl" as Amy Elliott-Dunne is one of the most intriguing roles for this year. As for the supporting roles, they were just there for me. Nothing special can be said or written about them. On the positive side of the film was also the well prepared photography and the atmospheric music. Trent Raznor with Atticus Ross collaborated for the third time to undertake the music of the film work of Fincher. Something tells me that they will be nominated again on the upcoming Oscar. "Gone Girl" is already a commercial success at the Box Office. It overcame the barrier of $100 million and it will do even better now that the Oscar nominations have happened. With such hype created, I'm sure that it will have multiple nominations on the upcoming Oscar. It's adored by critics and already much discussed by fans who watched it. It has received a very high average score on IMDb (8,5) and it's already included in the list of 100 best movies of all time. Personally, I wouldn't give such a high average score because I didn't like the second part of the film. Nevertheless, it was a well structured work and I wouldn't be impressed if this movie won all the categories it is nominated for. However, it doesn't deserve to win in the "Best Picture" category this year. Although some people (critics and fans of the movie) try to convince us of the opposite.
