With a 6.6 average rating, it's hardly 'hated' by all. I gave it an 8, only because 7.5 wasn't an option.
The ending doesn't sit well. The whole town meeting him at the train station just felt really hokey. I think if he was accepted back in town more gradually, it would've come across better. Like he meets Adele, she accepts him back, and then the townspeople gradually show up at the theater to greet him and watch the movie.
On another subject, it probably had the worst movie poster I've seen in a while. -

The Majestic
fell into various cliches or simply corny moments for it to be a good film. It was a mixture between light-hearted and overly dramatic scenes, if
The Majestic
had chosen to be more serious then its ultimate theme would have been conveyed better.

Because it makes no sense from the beginning. I would have gladly gone along with the idea that the whole town PRETENDS he is Luke the dead son just to make Martin Landau happy and keep him alive. But the idea that they all, like sheep, just accept it? Even the girl who had her first kiss with him (I have a feeling the role was written much more cynically but the actress didn't pull that part off).
It's really awful, guys. No way around it. -
