Summary: To the man who said it "stunk"
Comment: Obviously you did not really read Lolita. The depiction of Humbert in this film was brilliant and Jeremy irons did an amazing job. Here are a few reasons why you know nothing. 1. You read Lolita because someone told you to and they also told you what to expect. 2. If you expected someone to be able to include every aspect of a 309 page novel in a two hour movie, your expectations are far too high. They included the key elements to capture the true feel of the novel. 3. This movie should be praised for Dominique Swain's performance alone. She played the part perfect. 4. Get off your "Nabokov-knowing-high-horse." I think that you need to make a movie based on a Nabokov novel before you can say anything negative. Try "Despair" out and we see how far youg get.

Summary: This movie stinks
Comment: Anyone who has actually READ Nabokov's Lolita understands the character of Humbert Humbert far better than Adrian Lyne did and much better than Jeremy Irons. This movie (and screenplay) captures next to nothing of what Nabokov was attempting to tell. Instead of a witty, sarcastic, intelligent, and clever book on the timeless (and ageless) nature of love, you get a sappy, sentimental, two hours of Jeremy Irons weeping and moaning that adds up to nothing more than a movie that, if it hadn't been for the subject matter, would have been a movie of the week- AT BEST. Gimme a break. This movie stinks.
Rating: 5
Summary: Beautiful and Haunting
Comment: Having just seen Lyne's film of "Lolita," I must say that even though I am a devout Kubrick fan, I admit it surpasses his weak 1962 film by a longshot. Jeremy Irons brings out all of Humbert's excruciating obsession; The young Dominique Swain is a lovely Lolita who perfectly captures her seductiveness and childishness at the same time. The film brims with wonderful moments; you almost feel guilty for feeling so good about a movie that deels with such subjects!
