I loved this movie--the only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because it was obvious how it was going to end. But otherwise I love Sandra Bullock and this was the first movie I had seen with Ryan Reynolds that I liked--he was cute and good. Love movies are my thing--and I thought this was a great one! It was funny, romantic, and it was nice to see an "older" leading lady and a "younger" male role instead of the other way around. The aging actresses always seemed to get nudged out for 55 year old men with 25 year old wives--annoying! Go see it, it is worth the $10!
I thought it was a little long and draggy in places. Could have been shorter, but it was very good and I am sure I will watch it over and over like Forrest Gump. I loved Brad Pitt as the older Benjamin--he was very believable and you just wanted to hug him. Some parts the talking was low and I could not understand, but it didn't take away from the movie as a whole and it was very enjoyable.
Nice love story, but super slow. I thought their love scenes looked awkward and they were trying too hard to be passionate and it didn't work. The most exciting part of the movie was the old grouchy man behind us making inappropriate comments out loud continually at all the mushy parts. Should have waited and rented it because I could have gotten into it more in the comfort of my own quiet home--
I love Batman anyway, but add Heath Ledger's Joker to the mix and it made one incredible movie. I just kept looking at him in complete amazement and thinking about what a wonderful, talented person we all lost. You can't watch the movie without getting wrapped up in his acting skills--let alone the great cast, plot and action scenes that were tastefully done. I will see 2 more times before it leaves the theatres.
I thought it was pretty scary! I think the idea of knowing that it was based off a true story, made it worse. It was hard to tell myself not to be nervous because it was "just a movie". I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and the guy with the mask freaked me out standing behind her all the time.
