a few hours I will never get back

I am very happy this was free with my Prime membership on
Amazon, would been very upset to have paid for this.  Very disjointed in the way it was written and many parts very unbelievable but then we are dealing with someone that is trying to make money off of their sad life so I guess the expanding of events is to be expected.  Again, glad it was free.

I saw this movie under the title "Street Zombies" in the previews of another Z-grade horror film.  The preview included a man shooting up drugs, and his head subsequently exploding.  I thought this movie would be so bad it would be funny.

I have never been so wrong in my entire life.  I sat through each minute of this movie, both hoping it would get better and counting down until the end.  I literally had to look at the back of the DVD box multiple times to see how close I was to the movie being over.  Unfortunately, each minute that passed was a minute wasted and a horrible minute of filmmaking.  And it kept on getting worse.  Towards the end the "protagonist" fathers a goblin-like child that starts speaking as soon as it exits his wife's body, and he turns into a mass of amorphous goo for no apparent reason.

I think playing "E.T." on the Atari would be more interesting than this, because you know once you get to the pit it is over permanently, unlike this movie.

I feel like an hour and a half of my life was wasted.  I could have spent my time doing better things, like reading a book, playing with a dog, or smelling my own flatulence.  I think the latter would be far more intellectually stimulating and interesting than this movie.

I stumbled into this on the first day of its release, thought the idea of an Airline sim would be fun (being a huge fan of the Railroad Tycoon series), downloaded it, fired it up and, well, I just can't spend that long at a time listening to the same irritating characters with irritating voices saying the same irritatingly inane things. So, my biggest complaint is the fact that I can't just bypass all of the talking heads to get stuff done.

And that's really just the start of my frustration. It actually gets worse from there. The UI is spectacularly irritating, what with clicking on the floor to move and the umpteen dialog box steps needed to do anything. Oh, and the stupendously odd routing mechanisms for the planes.

I can't actually weigh in on much of the game play. I found it so frustratingly awful that I never really got that far into the game. Next time I want to spend two hours having as much fun, I'll just hang out with my mother-in-law and listen to her talk about her cat.

So, $30? I'd happily offer up another $30 to have not wasted the time with it. Seriously, no video game experience has elicited this negative a reaction from me. I've had some that, well, just weren't that much fun and didn't get played much. I've had some that didn't work at all and while that sucks, I was spared this sort of torture. I've never had anything so stupendously awful as to elicit a negative review on Amazon.

Oh, on the upside, the download process from Amazon was splendidly speedy and efficient.

I'm not even going to get into the story.  Suffice it to say it bounes back between 3 different cities and 3 sets of characters.  I've been struggling to finish this book.  It has now become my mission to finish it, as painful as it may be.  What could be described in a few sentences goes on for pages and pages and pages.  Any wittiness is lost in the blah blah blah of the endles  WORDS.  Cut to the chase man and get this slow as molasses story going!  I don't care about the story.  I don't care about the people.  I don't even care how it ends.  I just want to finish and be done with it.

I was hoping it might be an exciting set of whodunits.  I got maybe a few pages into the first book and couldn't read any longer. In just those few pages was more violence, viciousness and just plain ugliness that I knew I had to stop reading or suffer horrible nightmares for heaven only knows how long.  Unless you are into that kind of stuff, I strongly urge  you to avoid these books like the plague.

try as i might i could not finish this book - i have begun the novel at three different times in my life, and this is the third and final try - i cannot do it - i do not like nor care for the characters nor do i like or care for the purpose - there is plenty of narrative that goes no where and very little actual movement once the story does start - the beginning is always great and then it goes from 200 MPH to broken down on the side of the road for me, which is a shame, because i know that this series will stand the test of time, just not on my book shelves.

When I go on a trip I like to take along a novel set in the place I am visiting. Finding one set on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia wasn't easy but I was happy to discover 'Every Day Every Hour'. My happiness was short-lived, however. Soon every day, every hour was torture as I read this dreadful book. Luca is six and Dora is three when they fall in love. (Yes, you read that correctly.) When Dora is six she moves to Paria with her parents. Luca remains behind in Croatia. Both know something is missing in their lives. That something is each other. Luca becomes a painter. Dora becomes an actress. Luca visits Paris where by happenstance he encounters Dora. Their love is re-kindled. They are soul mates meant to be with each other. But these two are star-crossed lovers. I will say no more to give away the plot to those who can't figure out the story after page one. It is all so predictable.  If I wanted to read something which brought to life the exquisite beauty of the Dalmatian coast I did not find it here. The writing is simply bad. One simple sentence after another until the mind rebels. Nary a complex sentence or thought can be found here. Worst of all Luca and Dora are completely unlikable. Luca is such a spineless, unfeeling jerk one wonders what Dora can possibly see in him. Dora is haughty and self-involved. All I can say is avoid this sappy love story. It is one of the worst books I have ever read. I considered leaving it at my local library bin for others to read but wouldn't want to inflict it on other unsuspecting readers. Instead it will go in the garbage bin where it belongs.

having wasted close to 3 hours of my 29th birthday on this movie, i walk away feeling as if my every child hood fantasy has been raped ... god damn you Michel Bay, god damn you Stephen Spielberg.

I agree with my fellow critic, Mr Martin.... worst movie ever made.  All I could think after watching this movie was "that is 2 hours of my life that I will never get back."  Bad acting, bad special effects, bad script.  The only good thing about this movie was when it was over!  DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!! Set it down and run far, far away.

I figured going in this movie was going to be bad, but how bad was yet to be seen. I watched almost 30 minutes of this terrible movie and could stand no more. I seldom stop watching a movie after I have started, but this was an exception. I don't think even children would enjoy this. This was a waste of time, money, and talent. Avoid this horrible piece of work at all cost. I would not even watch it when it comes to TV.

I just rewatched this and remembered why I had never done so before.  This movie is so overwrought with tension that it goes from edge of the seat anxiety to detached boredom, thus proving it's possible to overdose on thrills.. There really isn't anything close to a movie here.  It's like a Disney ride gone on the fritz so that you get stuck too long in each area.  The number of hours I'm willing to devote to watching a handful of paper-thin characters grapple with a DMV length queue of CG animals was not equal to the task.  The payment for the two hours of my life I deposited in the discard pile was an end we all know is coming, and no one is going to like it.  And of all the crimes committed by Jackson and company here, none are quite as unforgivable as the very last line.  It's as if the goal here was to create a subtlety vacuum and at the very last minute they had concern that somewhere in the fourteen previous hours a tiny sliver of dignity may have escaped the clutches of the film makers so they threw in Jack Black's sign off as a way of salting the earth.

I'm wary of arranged marriage plots. Sometimes they're done wonderfully and sometimes they're done not-so-wonderfully. I like Tracy Brogan enough so the fact that she was an author I'd read before, coupled with the mostly positive reviews I'd read, caused me to push away my doubts and go ahead and buy it anyway.

I regret it. Like others, I'm the sort of person who is compelled to finish a book, no matter what. I literally couldn't finish this one. I've never been so bored in my life. I drudged through half of the book in three days, a positively snail-like pace for me, since I can normally read a book this size in about five hours. I just put the book down and I literally cannot tell you who the hero's name was. I think it started with an M... maybe. I remember the heroine's name was Fiona, but that's only because she was such a shrew and so opposite in temperament to the hero, who said that he wouldn't take anymore of her shenanigans and then completely crumples underneath her harrowed visage at every turn when she does something stupid and he has to rescue her. He feels guilty for something that usually is never his fault and I couldn't read long enough to get past their antagonism towards each other in order to find if I'd like their relationship together when they do like each other. I haven't read a couple so unable to coexist together in years and that says something for me, considering how many books I read in a year.

This is one story I wish I hadn't picked up and I'm sorry to say Tracy Brogan will not be going on my automatic buy list. I'll be returning this for my money back. It's not worth the 4 dollars I spent.

This book was a complete disappointment and I wish I could get the hours of my life back that I wasted on this book.

I'm a huge fan of the original movie and even though I had heard bad reviews on this movie, I was hopeful I was wrong.  Sadly, this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.  It's two hours of my life I will never get back  Don't waste your time.

I would love to have the two hours and $2.99 I spent watching this movie back.  What a horrible waste of time watching this movie.  The fake accent of Renee was nerve racking to say the least.  Unfortunately I love Hugh Grant and Colin Firth as actors and they should be ashamed to have their names attached to such a horrenduos movie.  Do not waste your time and money on this movie.  Even though it was only $2.99 for me to rent it was a total waste and I wouldn't watch it again for free.

This book has just been a horror to read (I have yet to finish the damn thing) but I persevere in hopes that it may somehow redeem itself or kill me off in the process and put me out of my misery.

It starts off simply and then moves along at a struggling pace then the story seems to round in on itself and repeats scenes and themes.

The main character Lotto is annoyingly humble, does not want his magical powers (and moans about it often).
He is always confused about something and you basically want to put a boot up his backside to get him moving.

 The other characters all meld into the same "tutor" "friend" "father figure" category with the exception of the love interest who is equally as annoying as the main character and just makes you want to back hand her.

Save your three bucks and your sanity and move on.

Wasted my money, I couldn't even get half way. So annoying
