Suspend Your Disbelief
PostedAugust 1, 2010

Lots of action, but pretty thin premise. Silly set-up in beginning that was poorly explained in the end. Would this Manchurian candidate have awakened otherwise? And what about the surviving witness?
No, I do not recommend this movie.

As everyone else said, it's "laugh out loud funny!" Meryl, Alec and Steve were amazing! I just didn't get the kids a little bit, somewhat sappy - except John Krasinski who was fantastic!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Laugh Out Loud

Great to watch a comedy that didn't go for the juvenile laughs - in fact it laughed at juvenile comedy. A little long - I say this only because I looked at my watch 3/4 of the way through, but very enjoyable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Live Action Comic

Highly stylized, this movie was a live action version of a graphic comic novel. The director was more interested in individual shots and frames than good acting. Some chase scenes were very intense and exciting, but the premise and dialog left a lot to be desired. And the "Loom of Fate?" Please!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

What a ride!!

Great acting!! Great effects!! For once, one wasn't sacrificed to the other. My one criticism is Tony's romp with the Vanity Fair reporter to establish his "playboy" ways. That was a bit unnecessary. Otherwise, what a great movie. Favreau scores!!!! Genius casting of Robert Downey, Jr.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
