A very interesting movie that does have some really good moments. The beginning started off great but as the movie progressives the number 23 seems to become less important. It did have an interesting twist towards the end but was muddled. |

A competent, if forgettable thriller about obsession. Jim Carrey does a good job as the lead - playing two different characters none the less. A interesting, but convoluted plot, keeps it going, but by the end it's just hard to care. |

The Number 23 |
|
The Number 23 is an gigantic mess that takes an already stupid story and adds on Terrible direction by Joel Schumacher, A Dreadfully bad script and a incredible waste of talent. Jim Carrey is painfully miscast as the lead and gives one of his worst performances ever. This movie is ugly, cheesy, unrealistic and very laughable. Jim Carreys Narraration is just awful, but then again so is the final reveal. The ONLY thing that saves this movie from being a complete dud, is Virginia Madsens performance. A Drag. |

Overdoing it...again |
|
This movie should have stopped when Walter Sparrow ripped the wallpaper off and found all of the writing on the wall. There wasn't actually a need to continue; it was a perfect stopping point of intrigue. People would have had something to talk about and make up their own conclusions of what happened afterward, while still having been given plenty of material to have relative closure.
You know how he was, and what was going on at that point...the mystery was over. Everything after that was merely cleaning up the end in a nice and tidy "happy ending", which was horribly unneeded.
This could have been great with an ending likened to Twilight Zone stories. However...Schumacher stays true to his overdoing, and...well...over does it again. |

The Number 23 Review |
|
“Sorry dude, we don’t have that.” So says the punk at the concession when I asked him if they had any breakfast cereal. My evening wasn’t going well.
But I was pleasantly surprised that “The Number 23″ was actually halfly good. I know what you’re thinking, halfly isn’t a word. Just wait. There it is. It’s now a word. You’re welcome.
So there’s something called the 23 Enigma which refers to the idea that everything is related to the number 23: from Michael Jordan to the numerological weirdness of 9/11 (9+11+2+0+0+1=23) to the first and last sentence of this review. However, as the movie suggests, there isn’t any meaning or purpose to this weird phenomenon.
At first, I thought the movie was gonna suck because of the director (destroyer of Tim Burton’s Batman movies). And it s... |
