I too had high hopes, and Denzel really doesn't make a bad movie. Unfortunately as soon as they said "Spoiler Alert" the leak must have come from inside the agency i knew (Kind of ovious) it was Ryan's boss. that pretty much ruined the whole movie for me. but i have to agree with the one of the other reviewers that i too am sick and tired of just about every plot in every action movie dealing with the CIA, FBI, NSA, GOV, and Military having some sort of global conspiracy theory. Get over it!!! The action scenes were really loud and you really didn;t have any character connection. So you really didn't care what happened to any of them in the end. I would say this movie would fall under the "Wait for the Blue-Ray" to come catogory. The Pluses were the cool CIA spy stuff they had and the car chase was VERY intense.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie was good, but I thought it could have been a little better. Mostly when it came to dealling with the details of how the world would handle the outbreak. Because if that's the worlds best effort in getting a handle on things! We are really in big trouble when something like that really happens.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is one of those movies you see and just wonder what it would be like? To be that smart for one. You also need to be a social leopard because it’s that rejection that sets you up to create the Social Network. This movie (actuate or not) was just great to watch in getting an idea on how these things get started. i wasn't crazy about the jumping back and forth between the events that created Facebook and the depositions with the lawyers, but i do understand it was necessary to the movie. i would say it’s a must see.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Worth the 12 bucks

we saw this Saturday night and it was a good movie for the money. I was a little disappointed with the lack of nudity, but worth seeing. although i will say the shots out were a little over the top and far-fetched.
Over all it was a very good movie. Don't believe the hipe about how Denzel should win an Oscar. it was a movie that made you think about the "What If" factor. i couple of really good suprises like at the end when you realize where he REALLY is. that was pretty cool and the semi-suprise ending. The movie is kind of slow with no real high's or low's. it seems to just move along at steady pace. I think ir was worth the Director's Hall fee.
I thought the the movie was very good. i thought there were a few things that were way over the top. The two Transformers that were joking and fighting was a great touch. But having the Transformer truck hump Megan Fox's leg and insinuating "Balls" on a Transformer was a little stupid if you ask me. some of the ending sequences were kind of unbelievable which took away from the movie, but all in all a very good movie. highly recommend to the masses.
