I love this movie. Great story and lots of action and excitement with a dramatic climax. Mel Gibson has recently turned psycho, but this movie is one of his best performances.
Another of my all-time favorite movies. I can watch it again and again. So many awesome scenes and stories going on. Love how it was edited and then all pieced together.
I had no idea what this movie was about when I finally decided to rent it. It's a good movie that becomes a great movie when you put it all together at the end. I don't think any other movie had me thinking about it so much after I've turned off the television.
If you liked Braveheart or if you are a Mel Gibson fan, you will enjoy this movie. Historical innacuracies aside, you have all the components for a compelling story. This is one of my favorite movies.
What's not to love about a good mafia movie with Robert De Niro in it? Liotta and Pesci were both great too. I'd read the book Wiseguy before watching the movie so I enjoyed seeing the story unfold. Lots of variance from the book, but action-packed and worth watching.
Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt both appear in two of my top ten favorite movies of all-time. I saw someone else describe this movie as absorbing and would have to agree. Very dark movie with a shocking ending.
Great Film. If you haven't seen it, you are cheating yourself. Serious, funny, sad, determined. It takes you through every set of emotions while taking a journey through the life of Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks was simply brilliant.
The most stunning opening sequence of any movie ever made. Great camera work throughout this film. Tom Hanks is convincing as a war-hardened captain. Nice supporting cast. Go get this movie.
What a cast. Great acting. Awesome ending, which seems to be a huge measure I use when judging a film. If I am still thinking about it the next day, then it is usually a good movie. This one was great.
"Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend."
"All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down."
Maybe my favorite western of all time. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman are all fantastic in their roles.
Ethan Hawke was very solid in his role as a genetically flawed human. I don't think this movie is for everyone, but I certainly enjoyed it. Like the synopsis says, it is a thriller, part futuristic drama and cautionary tale.
Great action movie. Awesome idea for a film. I am guessing that if everyone was rating this movie after watching it for the first time it would get even better rating. The cast was excellant and the CGI/special effects were amazing.
Wow, this movie stunned me. So different than mainstream films. Perhaps better to know ahead of time that you are watching the movie in reverse for those who easily get confused or lose interest. DVD extra's allow you to watch the movie in normal progression.
The story is a little weak, but just like Hero there is amazing martial arts choreography and very good cinematography. I am madly in love with Zhang Ziyi.
"You don't need proof when you have instinct."
The movie is told through a series of flashbacks from each of the criminals. It is violent and brutal so bring a strong stomache and the ability to listen to some cussing. It's just kinda out there and I've enjoyed watching and rewatching it.
Great plot twists. My favorite movies are the ones that at least begin fairly unpredictable and then take twists and turns. By the end you have it figured out, but it's an entertaining film. Josh Hartnett took it up a notch with his role.
It starts off a little slow, but shows the relationship between four friends before they ship out for Vietnam. This movie hooked me on the abilities of Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro. If I wasn't such a tough guy, I might have cried at the end.
Tom Berenger's best role ever. William Dafoe was pretty good too. Typical war movie in some regards, but compelling story and great acting.
Sad to see ignorant people use movie reviews to spew their political beliefs. Please, get over yourself.
This might be one of the best movies I had never heard of (happened to be on HBO). Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor did fantastic jobs with their characters. I believe the ending leaves lots of room for interpretation. Was the entire movie a final dream from Henry? I know that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it to anyone to watch.
"I'm your huckleberry." Val Kilmer rocked as Doc Holiday and Kurt Russell was pretty damn good as Wyatt Earp. If you like westerns, don't miss this one.
My friend Julie finally got me to sit down and watch this and I am glad. I couldn't imagine a better cast for each role. Phenomenal acting, bizarre storylines, and dark ending. I don't mind cookie-cutter comedies because I watch them to get laughs, but when it comes to a really enjoyable movie I either want to be moved by a compelling story, by great acting, or I want to watch something unique and entertaining. This movie had it all.
This films makes you remember friendships from your childhood, laugh at young experiences, and it makes your heart ache for the tradegies that some kids have to go through. Heartwarming story that can be enjoyed by everyone.
"No man is a failure who has friends." What a wonderful story. I have to echo some previous comments about this movie. It is inspiring and does help us to be thankful for our lives and loved ones. We all do make a difference in everyone's life around us. A must watch.
This movie has tons of action and is a great story. Crowe and Phoenix were both excellant. Most of my female friends aren't interested in watching this, but I wish they would.
I think I like this movie so much because of the characters and the actors who portrayed them. Great casting job. Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, Owen Wilson, Will Patton, Michael Clarke Duncan, Peter Stormare, Jason Isaacs, and that's not even all the stars. Bruce Willis was fantastic as the gruff father/reluctant hero. It was a pleasure to watch the relationship between him, Tyler, and Affleck and the craziness of the oil drilling crew on this inportant mission.
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of westerns. One of my favorites was The Magnificent Seven. I didn't see the Seven Samurai until 20 years after watching TMS, but it was the movie that got me interested in martial arts. This movie isn't for everyone. It's long and there is a lot of character development, but it is one I enjoy and would recommend.
This is an awesome movie. I heard so many great things about it and am glad I finally got around to watching it. Great acting, great concept, and I love how everything tied together. Must see movie.
Make sure you check out the alternate ending on the DVD. Both endings are cool. Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart were both fantastic. A darker look at the consequences of trying to change things from the past. Who hasn't thought about it? Well, not me anymore. I don't want to lose my limbs or see an ex-girlfriend became a crack whore. Yeah, I'm kidding.
This movie rocks. I've watched it a dozen times and have played clips of it during my company training for laughs and motivation. Star-studded line-up with a lifetime of great quotes.
Outstanding cast with some of my favorite actors; Pacino, De Niro, Kilmer, Sizemore, Voight, and even Ashley Judd. What is amazing is how long the movie is, but how it is filled with action. Speaking of action, it is edge of the seat action and probably the greatest get-away scene ever.
Pacino is the cop with serious marriage/personal life issues. De Niro is the bad guy who is trapped in a criminal life he doesn't want. The director did a great job showing how similar, in some ways, each of their lives are.
I've seen this movie several times and if I am channell flipping and it's on, it's one I always stop to watch.
