I absolutely loved it! I love the twists and that it doesn't insult your intelligence. And Hugh Jackman is amazing in it. It's the first time he's really played someone who could be considered a unlikeable or a villain even. Although you understand what drives him to it, but then he goes off the deep end.

I think it's great!\nWell, you have to like Will.I.Am, because it's very much his style! Well, it's ok, I have nothing against him!\nI really like the adaptation!\nI love "the Heat", the one sung by John Legend and the one about the "father" with Justin Timberlake.\nAnd I like Nu Soul, just like you do.

"What's eating Gilbert Grape" was excellent- He gives an amazingly controlled performance in a movie that'll make you cry everytime. It's a bit slower, though, and there are people that don't like that. \n"The Secret Window" was also very good, because he plays the role very well despite 'uglifications' made to him- I honestly found it well written and performed. Of course, it never hurts to throw John Turtorro in the mix.\n"Edward Scissor Hands" I like because it's out of the norm, and obviously because Tim Burton is just brilliant. You end up feeling so bad for Edward- you get him even though there's few parralels to be drawn on a surface level to a *normal* persons life. \n\nThat's my two cents. Gotta luv the Depp.

Let me first say that the subject matter did not bother me AT ALL. \n\nBut I was a little disappointed. I felt like the love story part (which was quite crucial to the story) wasnt developed enough. It didnt seem to me that the two were "in love." I felt that Heath Ledger's character wasnt really IN LOVE with his lover. I thought that the passion and physical desire was definitely there, but I just didnt see the evidence of LOVE on his part. That was disappointing to me. \n\nBut other than that, I thought they did a good job with it. I thought that the acting was phenomenal!

I saw it recently and I absolutely love it! It was surprisingly good. Yet again Peter Jackson pulls off an epic masterpiece. It really did not feel like a 3 hour movie. You should see it! It was very well done. It's fast moving and intense. Jack Black also surprised my by actually doing a great job. It's a great movie.

he cinematography was great. I was blown away by the beauty of this film. Geez, the costumes were neat, too, and the sets. I really liked the Mayan temple and the action at the Queen of Spain's court.\n\nBut what was with that plot? Your guess is as good as mine but I think that it was basically set in the present, with the doctor and his wife existing somewhere around our timeline and being the only "real" characters. The bald Hugh Jackman was his (the doctor's) "higher self." He could have been the doctor in the future, hundreds of years from now because his discovery has made the human lifespan so very, very long or let people be immortal but I think the parts of him in the bubble were also dreams or fanatsies. TheQueen and the Conquistador were just the wife's story. C'mon, who believes a Spanish Queen will promise herself to a conquistador and offer to be his "Eve?"\n\nAnd, towards the end, when he went out to walk in the snow with her (even though, in reality, he'd kept working and let her leave without him) was just his wishful thinking and regrets, not an alternate timeline, right?\n\nWhen the Mayan went to kill him and then said "sorry, I didn't know you were 1st father" is where I think Hugh Jackman/the doctor was dreaming and trying to finish his wife's story. The Mayan priest saw the Conquistador turn into the bald Hugh Jackman in the meditation pose and assumed that he was "1st father," the man who died so that the Tree of Life could grow out of him and the universe begin. He was protecting the tree from everyone else and awaiting the day when "1st father" would come back. \n\nSince it was just a dream and the plants symbolized rebirth and, beings as this was like the doctor's fantasy of how his wife's story could end, it was a positive note where he had hope of eternal life. The guy in the bubble and the fantasies about the Conquistador were all ways for the Hugh Jackman "doctor" character to deal with the loss of his wife, Izzie.

The movie came out in pre-1975. I've only seen it once (I was probably 15 or 16 then so I can't give a opinon) However I plan on getting a copy sometime. It's a post nuclear movie,and the wedding consumating scene was great! Buy a good movie book and it will show you dates, year,director, rating, and everything you need. It is better than typing.(Reading that is!)  Dude says look it up and check it out man! Peace.

I got to see the advance screening of this movie too, way in advance though it wasn't a star studded screening.\n\nAbout the movie, one thing must be said is that this movie is really interesting and mysterious though it cannot be compared to other movies like saw, mindhunters as this movie does not have gore at all.\n\nIt can be compared to the butterfly effect as it has that supernatural kind of story which is very well written and i will go on to say that to me this was better than the butterfly effect. Most importantly the acting is top of the line from all the actors specially Sarah's. The way this movie is directed is also very intriguing and i really have to admire Asif's direction.\n\nWell if you want to watch an amazing, interesting and kind of a thriller movie you must watch this as it is certainly worth a watch.

Well....I got a different view point. I feel that it's a movie that deserves multiple viewings.\n\nI will start by saying that this has undeservedly be panned by just about everyone! The fact is it wasn't what anyone was expecting, especially from Guy Ritchie. What everyone was expecting was cockney geezers and good one liners "do ya like dags?" etc, but this is far more mature than his previous works. I would agree that it is confusing but all the facts are there for us we just have to see them and listen harder, this film demands all your attention! Look past the cool and dazzling look of the film, try to listen to the dialogue rather than admire the performances and i think we will all get a more thorough understanding of the whole film.\n\nYes this has its influences from modern classics( fight club, pulp fiction etc ) but it is in the whole original in both direction and pacing with a music score second to none. I feel that if everyone watched this film over and over they would understand it a lot more and maybe appreciate it for the fine piece of modern cinema that it is and i hope also that Ritchie continues in this vain as i far prefer this to his mockney "masterpieces". \n\nThe brief plot outline is.............\n\nJake Green is a hotshot gambler, long on audacity and short on common sense. He's rarely allowed to play in any casino because he is a winner. Jake has taken in so much money over the years, he is the only client of his accountant and older brother Billy. One night, Jake, Billy and their other brother Joe are invited to sit in on a private game, where Jake is expected to lose to Dorothy Macha, a crime boss and local casino owner who can't play for squat, but always wins because people are too scared to beat him. Jake isn't afraid of Macha, and not only beats Dorothy in a quick game of chance, but takes every possible opportunity to insult the man. Jake and his brothers leave the game, and Macha puts out the order for a hit on Jake, who ends up working for and being protected by a pair of brothers, Avi and Zack, who are out to take Macha down.\n\navi and zack create the fictional crimelord mr gold to use in their big con to make macha and lord john destroy eachother without avi and zack having any direct involvement. \n\nthis film is about breaking free from mr gold, its more physcological than physical and thats obvious in the way its made. for once the physical actions in the movie mean so very little, you need to concentrate on whats happening to and IN the characters minds.

The cinematography was masterful, the acting was spectacular, the dialogue was a little awkward in pints but never really faltered.\nGood Movie to watch.

I saw the movie and LOVED IT. I am not  by any means a James Bond fan, and was so reluctant to see it. I thought Pierce Brosnan was a good James Bond, and never thought Craig could do better. But he proved me absolutely wrong. \nCraig is raw, real and yet in some ways charming. He truly is how I think Ian Fleming imagined Bond to be. James Bond was not like a flamboyant charming ladies man, he was a spy, a killer, and rough around the edges. Just like Craig seems to be. This  may be the BEST James Bond movie yet. FANTASTIC!

I agree, the movie was very romantic and stunning. Finally a love story that is really about love. Plus the movie had plenty of action and Hugh Jackman did great doing his three roles. I am seriously going to see that movie again.

I'm glad to see someone else interested in this film!  I've actually heard really good things about it, and i just bought it.  I'm planning on watching it later today based on all the reviews I read, which were very favorable.  On IMDB (which I consider to be a very very good resource for film info), they gave it an average rating of 7.3 out of 10.  \n\nOne of the reviewers made this comment:\n"Without revealing too much of the story, Elijah Wood's character gets kicked out of Harvard for a drug offence he didn't commit. He flies to London to visit his sister and quickly gets caught up in a small group of West Ham United supporting hooligans called the Green Street Elite.\n\nThe film does slightly glamorise the violence, but ends on a moralising note. An engaging storyline, good cinematography and decent cast performances make this a very enjoyable film."\n\nAnyway, I don't know just how violent it is yet, and it's fiction after all, but I'm really looking forward to watching it.  I'll give you an update after I've seen it.  Also, have you seen Football Factory??  Here's a snippet from the summary: "The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong."\n\nI figure if I like Green Street Hooligans I might like Football Factory, so I might get that one, too.\n\nHere's a link for Green Street Hooligans:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385002/\n\nHere's one for Football Factory:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385705/

Great. \nHe portrayed the part well. He did his best to detach himself from passion or emotion and yet, he fell in love with the woman who betrayed him in the end.\n\nI loved the whole movie.

i did. i liked it. it's in my list of top romance movies...the others are shining through, possession and the notebook. i didnt cry as hard when i watched the notebook though. i only ended up with my eyes being misty. i liked the last part best, when the guy truly realized how much he loved the girl and took the seat where he knew he most definitely would die. i just loved that part. you could see his fear...heck, who isnt afraid of death...yet he chose to die for the girl. now that is love. lol. and im not the kind who easily gets mushy mind you. i can relate more to the guys situation than the girl. ;)

I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that a blond northern bloke can't play Bond. He does a fantastic job \n\nGo and see it, you won't regret it !
