I LOVED it! As someone old enough to remember the American Hostages in Iran in 1980 but too young understand or care about the why's and wherefores--I found Argo to be quite educational. Some of the dialogue in the beginning either moved to fast or was just slightly gratuitous; and there was some trite humor here and there--but there were also some really great one-liners. The sets were perfectly retro & in keeping with that era; and the special effects were fantastic. I liked the printed & pictorial historical narrative at the end. The audience got up to leave as they typically do the moment the credits come on; but narrative stopped everyone in their tracks--they stood in dead silence and the gravity of it all was palpable and very powerful.
