I'm a die hard Bond loyalist, and was blown away by the action and emotion. My 12 and 16 year old boys are new to 007, but loved the movie as well.
Magnificent historical nuggets pop up on occasion for fans over the decades. My expectations were extremely high, and they were exceeded!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

While Jeff Bridges plays a terrific washed up but well intentioned drunkard (a la Crazy Heart), it's the young Hailee Steinfeld that makes this movie great.
The writing's fantastic, the scenery/cinematography phenomenal...the first great movie I have seen in a good long while.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Slow start, but fun nonetheless

Puss-in-boots steals the show, in what's without question the weakest script of the series. But the movie's special 3D effects were outstanding, and the movie picked up steam along the way. My kids loved it, and are still talking about the day after.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Almost excellent

Good story, and well acted by Downey and Law. Sadly lacking in chemistry between Holmes and Adler (McAdams) and for me that presented a problem for this movie and, of course, for the sequel already introduced at the end of this first installment. A little long, but a fun film. As a die hard Holmes reader, the film lacked enough of the classic deduction that I enjoy in the books.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Magnificent Movie!!

Although over two hours in length, you never notice it while watching these two women's stories weave in and out effortlessly.
Streep & Tucci truly made a magical couple, and were an absolute joy to watch. The scenes with Julia Childs and her sister together were, by themselves, worth the price of admission! And I'm not even much of a Meryl Streep fan...
Yes, I recommend this movie.
