Branded (2012)

The movie gives a clear message about current marketing standards. It is one of those must watch movies that speak about the society in general, things happening around people about which they are unaware of.

I would rate this movie more, but it was pretty slow and gets uninteresting in the middle. But by the end of it, you have something to think about and relate to the stuff happening around you. As for the movie itself, it is one of those "Dark" movies where you find yourself losing the appeal for the movie as it continues. But surely, characters have been sensibly selected and over all dialogue delivery is good too. However, it lacks witty dialogues which I was looking forward too seeing the trailers.

Fmovies: It's several kinds of stories layered on top of each other including love story, spy story, critique of consumer culture, mystery, schizophrenic story, with an ending that is a bit magical realist. Keeps you wondering and guessing throughout. Great characters and story-telling draw you in and you care about them. Definitely worth seeing. I went into this film with no preconceptions other than a sci-fi take on consumer culture. Found the film very enjoyable and well told. Setting the film in post-Soviet Russia with an onslaught of American consumer capitalism was a nice angle to the "genre" of consumerism critique films. Frankly, I don't think the director quite knew what genre of the film it was but that's okay. Was a very fun ride.

This is a great little movie that has a very relevant message about what we put in and on our bodies. Hopefully it will make people more aware, but honestly I doubt the ignorant masses will watch this movie.

Judging from the low ratings on IMDb, I can officially call the movie "BRANDED" highly underrated, and a must see film for anyone who wants even a glimpse of responsibility for what we put in and on our bodies that leads to so much disease, war and suffering.

A unique perspective, full of detail, a hero's journey to find substance in a world gone mad.

Great imagery, dystopian atmosphere and what the world is like that most walk through simply unaware, and not wanting to care.

Branded fmovies. The movie comes a bit slow but after 10 minutes it delivers its purpose and keeps you watching tensed until the last second !

We really enjoyed the movie and it had for all of us important messages.

Its indeed interesting to know that its done by Russians and not Hollywood. I can't imagine that this story would find a studio there.

I really don't understand all this haters here who don't give it even a 2. There are far more worst movies and this is definitely a good one.

I give 7 for acting, 6 for plot 5 for effects, 8 for the message !

Please, give it a try, its funny and straight !

This movie brings to light the undeniable fact that we are ALL hugely and subconsciously affected by advertising. We think we are in full control of our likes, dislikes - and purchases. But we are not. For a bit of a lark take a look at Derren Brown on Youtube to see just HOW susceptible we are. I am SICK of aggressive and jarring advertising blaring me in the ears and eyes on a daily basis and this is a movie that tries to bring this to the fore. Personally I am getting seriously bothered by the fact that I cannot go anywhere without being bombarded with a visual message of BUY MEEEEE!!! I have to ask myself, is it fair that I, in my public space am forced to be subjected to advertising just about everywhere I look? NO, it is not. It's bloody rude! Finally a movie that tries to remove the veil we have over our eyes, that tries to expose the manipulation we are all subjected to on a daily basis. It's food for thought and I sincerely hope somebody chews on it. I give it top marks for the message.

I just saw _Branded_ and came here to IMDb and was shocked at all of the negative reviews. Other reviews go into the plot and so forth, so I won't do that here. I guess I can understand some of the criticism: the pacing in _Branded_ is uneven, at times a bit slow, which probably doesn't sit well with contemporary movie audiences who want 90+ minutes of non-stop action. But if you can appreciate the pacing involved in telling a good story (think Kubrick or Lynch), then I think you'll appreciate _Branded_.

I think this movie will become a cult classic ala _Liquid Sky_, _Repo Man_, or _Idiocracy_ - it is that rarest of things, a film with an original tale that is well-told. I've not seen a trailer for the film, but I get the idea that the trailer does not accurately reflect the movie itself, which may lead some to disappointment. But if you watch _Branded_ with an open mind and just open yourself up to the story, I think you'll find it a memorable and enjoyable experience. I fancy myself to be something of a connoisseur of quirky science fiction and fantasy movies, and I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
