Great Movie!

This movie exceeded my expectations - expectations based on general reviews and comments in the media. I feel it's one of the best movies of the year. Williams and Branagh are brilliant, funny and touching. Judi Dench is impeccable as always. Do not miss this trip back in time; it is a delight!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Surprise

I'm not a big Ferrell fan; but paired with the perfect counterpoint Wahlberg (who was excellent, deadpan funny) there were several laugh-out-loud moments. Not a perfect movie by any means, but well worth admission for a couple of escapist hours.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

So Bad

I tried so hard to like this movie. I love Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd. So, as the story moved forward I kept hoping that after a very slow start something INTERESTING would happen.
The premise of the movie, the "dinner", doesn't occur until 3/4 of the movie is over. And by then you are asking yourself, "what is the point?". Steve Carrell was unfortunately just sad. His caricature of a "schmuck" was embarrassing to watch. The teeth. Are you kidding? Just not a smart movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

One of the Best Movies Ever

In short, Avatar achieves the same level of historical innovation in film making as the true great: Citizen Kane.
2 hours and 40 minutes, and left wanting more!
It is a wonder to behold. MUST be seen in 3D. I will see it again, soon, in IMax.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The twist at the end was brilliant; never saw it coming.
A great, great film. Absolutely no sentimentality . Life as it is...with its pleasures and very real pain.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was one of the worst movies i have ever seen; such a disappointment. The script/dialogue was just laughable...all of that money, and this was the result!! BORING!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I don't think most people got this movie. Seth Rogan is showing his dark side, and it's not what people were expecting. There are some laugh out loud scenes, and some poignant moments. I thought it was great. And kudos to Seth for broadening is palette.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
