terrible movie-good acting but storyline was pitiful-quite depressing actually-what were they thinking
This was the best movie that my husband and I have seen in a very long time. Everything about this movie lived up to the reputation of academy award winners. Now I really want to read the book!!
This movie was fabulous, and Leo was brilliant. His acting cannot be compared with anything. The only thing that can be said is that Leonardo is one of the best and most believabe actors. He should get the Oskar for this kind of acting. Bravo!
Finally inteligent and GREAT movie! It is not for everybody. It is for real thinking movie lover. Leo is incredibly talanted actor who makes you a beliver in the power of the cinema. This film must be seen.
The facts? The movie includes language and behavior that is modern day, people didn't talk like that in 54, so that's a distraction. No surprise about the graphic violence its Scorcese! Not for the faint of heart. And the smoking, yeah we get it, there were NO nonsmokers, we've all seen Mad Men. Opinion: The hyper-realism... See More of stuff like the repeated striking of matches, like bombs going off, tiresome/boring. The "twist" at the end, I was on to that about half way through, about the same time I started to bore of it all. One of the things about actors is they are asked to commit to the role, Well DiCaprio commits even though what he is asked to do is weak at best. Some of the shot
If Avatars story was this good it would deserve to still be in the theaters. Special affects are nice, but this is a good movie!
It wasn't what I expected, but was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a supernatural thriller that might leave a brown spot on your seat, but it wasn't really scary and more like a mind bending mystery. I thought it was suspenseful and was engaged the whole movie trying to figure out the twists. I like how they left the movie to your imagination at the end by leaving it sort of up in the air. I wouldn't normally want to sea a movie twice, but the twist at the end of this movie leaves it so you could enjoy it the second time in a new light without it being spoiled by knowing the ending. I thought the acting was good. I don't agree with anyone who says De Caprio can't act.
i didnt really enjoy it, confusing, found that there was no point to it , ending was an ending that made no sence .
Somehow I got mixed feelings about this one .. I felt at some point that it was slow(i.e. the beginning), then I felt that the suspense was good to keep you watching .. and at the end, after thinking about the whole thing, I liked the story. It is a good movie, worth watching, but you do need to have the time and the mind in the right set to enjoy it. It's a bit more than 2hrs, but at the end, you will be glad you sat through the whole thing ..
this movie was great and full of suspense. whoever is saying they didnt understand what was going on sure isn't too bright in my opinion. :)
