Wes Anderson films are usually great. This one however, isn’t so great. The Darjeeling Limited just doesn’t develop the characters well enough to care.

This movie hinges on whether or not the characters are cared about, because it is dialogue heavy.

While there are some emotional attachments here and there, the overall story isn’t all that great, but the comic timing and precision line delivery puts this film in great company.

The visuals are stunning, and the comedic relief is fantastic, along side the pacing.

However, the characters seem poorly developed, and the story just doesn’t really fit the overall beauty of the film.

This movie is not that great, but upon a second or third viewing, you might change your mind. Wes Anderson made me love Rushmore and The Life Aquatic, but this time around….it just seems stale.

Here’s the official Trailer…which is a lot better than the film…although not the most popular of opinions.
