It's a decent video. Nothing that incredible. I guess I'm in the minority on this one.

That was shit. The effect they used was more annoying than cool.

Love the video. It's one of those you'll keep coming back to and noticing different things each time.

It looks like a tribute to this: But not well done. They went really overboard with the overlay. Very underwhelming, especially after Hello and the last single not having a video at all. Also, Adele's facial expression throughout the whole thing is rather...stank?

Got bored halfway through the video. Love her and like the song, but Hello and Rolling in the Deep remain her only good videos.

What a terrible video. Why are they afraid of investing in her videos? SHE'S BRINGING CASH TO THE LABEL!!

This is literally getting 100k views every half hour. 150k actually. It looks set to do around 8 million first day - although I suspect it'll be higher as views are usually always catching up and a large portion of the world's population (Asia) is currently in school/working so when they get home and Europe/Africa wake up we'll see some higher figures. :)

~50k likes and ~315k views in the first hour (views may be higher as they usually need to catch up). :)

I actually like the video. It fits Adele for me, and it's interestingly weird.

Still love the song, but that video was a cheap, hot mess.

At first I thought it was that the layering effect was not well done, but on rewatch I think it's that the layering doesn't work as well with a busy fabric pattern and a mean mug (she looked mad as hell when this song is supposed to be about letting go of an old flame and being at peace with it, so it looks even creepier when the scowl multiplies and starts getting blurry). I did kind of like it toward the end when there was so much layering going on that the swirling of her dress almost looked like a flame in motion.
But it's Adele so of course she's already #13 on iTunes, mean mug and all.

The video is cool. Nothing groundbreaking, and I suppose the song might have used a different "happier"-looking treatment, but it's fine. At least she's not wearing black.

Wow the video is painful on the eyes to watch and looks so cheap. They could have done better it has no reply value I just wanted to turn it off. It's like waking up on your grandma floral couch with a bad hangover.
She also looks like she didn't want to be in the video

Really, Adele? As if screwing up WWWY's promotion wasn't enough, you then release the worst song on the album as the next single? I guess 25 isn't going diamond, then. Should've been the much better Water Under The Bridge or River Lea.

Video was poorly done...annoying visual layering on her face. It looked like they had $20 to spare and a kid went wild with special effects. The worst video ever made.

I got headache from the video. The random screenshots from it will probably rather meme worthy though.

I agree with the people saying the video is legitimately painful to watch. At least it gave it an iTunes boost..
