A great movie but a huge deviation from the book.

The movie was interesting, but kept me wanting more, not in a good way. I felt the movie never got to where it was wanting to go. But overall, it was entertaining.

Enjoyed this movie very much.

I took the time to read the book a week before the movie was released. This should not have been done. While the movie followed a competent story line, it just did not pull the viewer in to see the characters as developing real relationships. Not Depp's best work, nor Thompson's best screen adaptation. But good enough to see a drug and booze-induced trip through the Caribbean. Which everyone really wants

Huge disappointment! Johnny Depp's great character acting ability is certainly not displayed in this movie. I wish he would do a serious movie for a change.

You gotta love Hunter S Thompson!

Not as good as Fear and Loathing but still an amazing performance by Johnny Depp.

This movie was incredibly boring - I wanted to leave after the first 10 minutes, but I went with someone else. I wouldn't even recommend it for a rental. You keep thinking the plot is going to develop, and it never does, so you're wondering for the whole movie It goes nowhere. I do not recommend this movie at all.
