    I don't get all the hate. It did have some funny moments, and a few poignant moments. No, not a great movie, but certainly not awful.

    No hate here. I enjoyed it. But some people will lack the patience to sit through some of it.

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    I think the way the movie was promoted led to a lot of that. It's one of those movies where they show all the good stuff in the preview and you're left wanting more when you watch the whole thing.

    I certainly didn't hate it, but it was disappointing especially given the cast

    I enjoyed Walter Mitty quite a lot. It was very enjoyable and my kids loved it too.

    My older daughter liked it, but by two younger kids (8 & 6) got bored and fell asleep during the movie.
