O Homem Água

This is my kind of movie. Child escapism movies mixing with fantasy is where my heart is. I will re-watch The Neverending Story, Mio in the Land of Faraway and Bridge To Terabithia any day of the week. I hold those movies in my top 10 of the best movies ever made.

But this movie doesn't close the deal. It's never truly fantastical or emotional or magical. It has the ingredients but it doesn't take me away on a magical journey.

I had high hopes for this movie.

I wish it had delivered.

We have two children, ages 7 and 11, and am always looking for PG (not PG-13) rated family movies.

I was drawn to this movie because the actors, and they were fabulous.

I thought the violence at the end/climax should be less for PG, but other than that, I was really happy with this movie.

Thank God someone is still trying to make good PG movies!

This is basically a Disney-like story with a dying parent, an innocent child on a quest, and a strong morale towards the end. People here are harsh in their reviews, but it's a nice sunday night movie for 8 year olds. My kids weren't too bothered by the slight plot holes, but liked the adventure, the idea of the water man and what he turns out to be.

This was a good movie with a good message. It's geared for a younger/family audience but that's not a bad thing. The movie has a point at the end of it and that's better than most movies these days. Worth watching in my opinion.

Let's start with the acting, absolutely fantastic very likeable characters especially the 2 young leads. The story was predictable but that's Underrated if its predictable and has a happy outcome sometimes that's what we need. Sometimes I love a simple story done beautifully and shot in a beautiful setting. It's so sad that people have become so NEGATIVE that they give a beautiful film like this a 1. Sad!! If you have a family and want to watch a beautiful film its EXTREMELY family friendly. My wife and I saw this together just now and we both have great big smiles...
