Nasty!
PostedJanuary 22, 2012

Using Thatcher's dementia as a way to thread the story felt like a real cheap shot by the producers. Meryl Streep is excellent as usual, but - whether you like or loathe what Thatcher did while in power - this movie was an undignified reflection on an important British Prime Minister and could have been so much better.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

HIS MOST IMPORTANT FILM TO DATE

Now with real resources behind him Moore has crafted his best doc to date. This should be compulsory viewing, and is a salutary reminder that capitalism is a lot more involved than just "work hard and you get the rewards."
This film highlights how corporate greed has conned millions out of their homes, savings, and jobs.
But more importantly it also shows how, eventually, there comes a time when the silent majority take it no more and start to fight back - because they have nothing else to lose and they are morally right.
The story beginning with a reflective look at the aspirations in ancient Rome and ending in the ruins of New Orleans after the floods, was extremely well conceived.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Visuals

I thought it was a great film, with some stunningly conceived camera moves using virtual technology.
Considering so much of the machines and locations don't rely exist and had to be created I think the producers did a terrific job and it certainly felt like a very expensive movie to produce.
There are those who would never give this film a chance simply because the original Terminator stars are not the main stars of this one - but I think that's being very narrow minded.

The storyline at the end was definitely debatable as to whether it was too soppy and even necessary, but apart from that it was all action with some great performances.
FYI I'm a TV Producer and Director.
