Nerve

Before you read this, note that I had read the book before watching the movie.
At first, I was like... Dude, no. They completely changed the story line. They changed the main character, gave her a completely different background, even key points about her ([spoiler]especially when they said her brother had died, which in the book doesn't happen, instead she fell asleep inside her car in the garage, while the car was still running, which ended up on her being intoxicated by all the gasses[/spoiler]). [spoiler] Even her first dare was completely different, and her best friend Sydney din't actually sign up for the game in the book.[/spoiler]
However, as the movie went on, I thanked the directors for changing the course completely. It got even better than the book. The outcome was amazing, in my point of view. Emma Roberts and Dave Franco were the best cast I could ask for for these two, and it's nice seeing them playing roles completely different than what I was used to.
The only thing that disappointed me was [spoiler] that while the book has an open ending, which might mean that if the writer ever wants to do it, she can come back and write a sequel, this movie ends with no prospect for a second movie. Which isn't necessarily bad, but I liked this so much that I wouldn't mind a second one. [/spoiler]

I agree with Barbie Klaus... I watched this not long after coming out and was expecting something treacherous. Ok maybe not that bad bc it does have Emma and Dave.. and MGK?? Anyway if you haven't yet taken the time out to watch this film it is worth the view and even not too far out of reach when you need something on but just for substance.

I read the Book this story based on and thought "Why isn't there a movie of that yet?" and 1 or 2 years later Nerve came up. I was instantly hyped and watched it in the cinema. I have to say I really get goosebumps at some parts of the movie. They changed the challenges and some backgroujd Informations but of course the story had the same orientation. As I said I really liked the movie. But the ending in the book was way better in my opinion. In the movie it kinda is pretty boring and disappointed, at least a little bit. Still recommend it, but you should read the book before ;)

Really enjoyed this one. Its not really a typical movie, its pretty fast paced kind of teen movie crossed with an action movie similar to Crank. The soundtrack is a particular highlight as are the costumes and that green dress... wow! The performances are pretty solid as well, there is enough to keep viewers interested throughout the whole movie. I thought the social media bits were particularly well done as well as the stylistic end credits. The Neon cinematography theme of the locations works really well too although the hacker bits can be a bit cheesy. Overall I'd definitely recommend this movie just because its a little bit different.

the plot is kind of whatever to me, in the way that most social media plots are when i've been spoiled by a series like black mirror, BUT like other commenters have said, the actors are all believable and emma roberts is a surprisingly likable protagonist. i've lowkey always liked her crazy bitch roles but i'm glad she's proving to be more versatile. and i love dave and samira so much that i would probably watch two hour footage of a garbage dump if either had a brief cameo, so that helps. this is one of those movies that exceeds expectations if you go into it just expecting a quick, entertaining movie - it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's certainly memorable.

I liked it. Cool story, nice characters and actors did a good job.

Ok, this was a really fun movie, and it makes very smart points about social media and reality shows, the need for internet fame/attention and how teenagers interact with this culture of instant gratification and the protection of a screen name. The dark turn the story takes is yet another reminder that the things we do online may have very real consequences even if at first it all looks like a harmless game and a joyful thrill. (Unfortunately, if people haven't learned this by now, when will they?)
One should note though that this movie also works fine if you just want to ride along and not think at all, you won't be bored!
The one thing to lament is the aforementioned bland ending, which I guess was severely edited for whatever reason, making the whole development slightly choppy from the moment when Vee is branded a traitor. Story runs pretty smoothly until that point though.
All actors did a really good job, and the movie visuals are great, making NYC look a bit cooler and more high-tech than it actually is. Soundtrack does a fine job in fitting each scene just right, and you know, the plot is actually interesting for once. As noted, Emma Roberts did a wonderful job in the lead role, and Vee is a quite likable character!
One particular point that scored high for my personal taste is the fact that violence and sexuality were not exploited, even when this movie could have done it and make it seem perfectly justifiable. There are a couple of scenes in which characters show up in their underwear, but there's nothing even implicit, which makes it quite suitable to watch with younger kids in the room.

Keep in mind my score is really mostly based on personal taste, but I would still say that the overall quality of the movie would reach a 7 if I weren't biased.

Well, I compleatly enjoyed the movie. I like the music in the movie, it fits in perfectly. The screenplay was nice and acting was good, but the ending for me felt rushed. It feels like they could have made it better, but I still liked it! But I don't know how the book is, so can't say how different the book and the movie is. Maybe I should read the book!

[spoiler] And what is it with movies and trailers lately. In the trailer when Vee goes to the cop car, the police officer know her name and seems to be "part of the game". But it was not like that in the movie. And when i first saw the trailer, that part made the movie seem "better?". But well, I guess the trailers now days lie about the movies ;) *cough* *cough* _suicide squad_ [/spoiler]

In itself, this film is great, however, [spoiler] watching the trailers destroys this film, as they literally show the ending... I don't know who thought it wouldn't spoil anything, but okay...[/spoiler]
It fits the scene of today, looking forwards to possibilities of smartphones and literally integrate them into our daily life.
There are, however, things that bother me at this movie, which is primarily caused by inadequate acting and lacking the ability to truly make an ending to this all [spoiler] (the ending is quick and rather dull when I am honest...)[/spoiler]
