Loved it!

Went to see this with my husband (one of very few men in the audience). We both loved it. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Loved the characters. They did a great job of being both touching, and extremely funny, without being too crude or over the top. This is a great movies for married couples, especially.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Loved it! It's a good story with great characters. I'm normally not a Christian Bale fan, but he really took off with his over-the-top character and played him perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if he received some nominations for his role. Mark Wahlberg (always nice to look at) was much more low key, and yet just as effective. All of the characters were gritty and real, and touching.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not as good as I'd expected

It wasn't lack of acting that made me dislike this movie. It was the lack of script and character development. I didn't feel as though I knew the characters, their motives, or their complex relationships. The action scenes were amazing -- I felt as though I was in the middle of the shootouts. However, they were spread between long stretches of move that was just dull.
Johnny Depp played Dillinger with depth and emotion -- awesome, as usual. Christian Bale mumbled his way through his role as Melvin Purvis, and did nothing to make me like or empathize with his character. Billy Crudup, as J. Edgar Hoover, was intense, but underutilized.
Overall, the movie seemed too long and too slow for a gangster flick.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Fun & entertaining for the whole family

We took our nine-year-old to see this, and all three of us loved it! It was much more entertaining than I expected it to be. We were all laughing out loud. The hamster is hilarious! I enjoy good animation (even cgi), and was awed by some of the graphics. This is a great movie to take the whole family to.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
