This movie was better than expected. I expected the over the top special effects but not that it would have a decent storyline with interesting sub-plots even if they were cliched. (e.g., Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow)
It was an exciting wild ride! If you love action movies, go see it. I'm actually looking forward to the sequel.
I predict another Oscar nomination for Meryl. The movie was thoroughly enjoyable and didn't plod along for a drama of it's length.
The parallel stories of Julie and her huband with Julia and her husband was very well done. This movie touched my wife and I deeply. It's a good date movie for us married folk.
The theatre erupted in applause at the end of the movie which is very rare.
