horrible movie...waste of a good performance by swank.
this movie was beyond boring and poorly crafted. A waste of a strong performance by Swank, and Gere. A complete mess of a film.
I don't understand why they would make a bio-movie and not tell us anything of value or new about the lead character. Everything they said I could find on the internet. Notwithstanding the boring, dull movie, Swank gives a great performance. Unfortunately the film sucked
I agree with previous reviews in that the movie is slow, but I didn't find it "painfully slow". Amelia was certainly a woman ahead of her time and I didn't understand the impact she had on aviation. Good performances (not Oscar worthy). 3 stars.
Swank was an excellent "Amelia". Although, slow, the movie was deliberate, as was the title character. Richard Geer was eye-candy as Earheart's devoted husband and eventual publisher. I felt we got to know abit about Earheart. Her determination and free-spirit shone through. The ending was a bit abrupt but so was Earheart's life so there wasn't much choice there.
excellent movie!
It was so much fun sitting there counting the cliches!
Excellent movie
Hilary Swank's performance was outstanding! Very definately a must see. When the movie was over, one felt they had spent an enjoyable evening.
I had read some reviews prior to seeing the movie so I was actually expecting the worst. Yes, it was a bit slow. I felt that we didn't really get to know Amelia. The richness of her life wasn't showcased in the movie. Hilary Swank did a good job but having seen her in previous movies I felt she was short changed because she could have done a excellent job portraying Amelia.
