Today is 2018 and I just bought my own copy of this and haven't watched it yet. I saw this only once--in 1994, and I've never stopped thinking about it. Maybe, Maybe this can be compared to Pulp Fiction, but only because the viewer has the "assemble" the story. This is NOT a scrambled sequence like PF, but the message is understood by recognizing the similarities of four different "skits." I think the worst part is the narration, which I understand from iMDB's Trivia was added later by the producer, not the director's choice. I don't give ten stars because I genuinely consider Average should get 5, only very rare spectacular movies get a 10 from me.

Only reason it didn't get a 9 is that I have a hard time with Robin Williams playing serious roles (sorry). "Isomnia" was one of his better serious roles. But he is very sympathetic in this movie. And the movie itself is very near perfect. A great story. I came to IMDb to check on this title as I couldn't find it on Netflix. Shame on Netflix!

Well, lets see. aha ha, right, Being Human. Well lets start with saying that this was the most outrageously boring film in the entire world. I would rather eat popcorn staring at the wall at home. Robin Williams is my favorite actor, but this is my least favorite movie. It started so peaceful, the trailer was nice, the cover was interesting, but the movie was like walking through thick goo, it takes you ages to get through, and you are not comfortable. Now what a movie ay? If you want a story, read a book. There was not much music, practically no good effects or camera moves. Costumes were alright, the dialogue was good but tedious, and plus, no real excitement through the whole thing. Lets just say, it is a bit different hmm? The story is meaningfu but i would understand it more on a book. While you watch it, you don't concentrate on the movie but the things around you. You start counting your teeth, or the tiles on the floor. You bite your nails and do whatever you do when bored (e.g. eat). It is truly a movie for your home with a hot meal and while its raining. But, watch it anyway, it may be appealing to you, but no matter what happens, prepare for a sleepy adventure!!!!!

In Being Human, the movie title should explain to you mostly what it's about. This is not so. If the character William's is portraying is human, then we might as well call ourselves droids. His stiff way of acting and terrible forms of expression harm the respect one holds for him as an actor. Sure the script is bad and it should have stayed as a book or whatever, but whoever wasted their money to produce this tape of diaster was simply not aware of exactally how bad this movie is. And yes, if you analyze it to death I'm sure you can find parallels and connections to human responses to different situations, but for the regular people who just want to enjoy a movie, don't bother with this one. Nothing to enjoy. And if you happen to notice that Ewan McGregor's in it, yeah, definatly not worth sitting through to catch his evil glare and two one liners. I'd rather see a role where he actually gets to use his talent. This movie sucked. I'm sorry to rest of you who thought is was under rated, but honestly, I think you're just a Robin Williams fan justifying a bad choice.
