dead, sad or unexpected

I had a headache watching this film. BUT IT WAS A GOOD HEADACHE. With all the elements and mind bending clues. I felt every emotion I should feel. Great story. At first, I thought, this is going to be a realistic one but it's definitely not. I think that is the pullback of the film. Another is Tom Cruise being a little bit self-centered (I think), because he is one of the producer. About the film, I was craving for the ending. There was a part of me that wants to fast forward it. But it was a blast watching the film. Very original and Mind bending. Penelope Cruz ROCKS! She is the best in the cast. She was astounding and great. Cameron Diaz was also great but I didn't appreciate her much. I just can't feel her in the film. Try to watch in a good mood. You'll like it.

A very mysterious film. There were weird elements in the film. One of them is the 7 1/2 floor. It was so mysterious in the sense that the size of the floor doesn't really affect the story but it became a necessity in the film. There was a feeling of sadness and emptiness when the scene takes place in the 7 1/2 floor. It is very intriguing. Anyway, the film was full of mysteries but I don't find it badly weird. You should watch this film. It's either you like it or not. All the technicalities of the film was great. Starting from the cast to the story ETC.

"I don't need you anymore! All my life you made believe I was only worth what someone would pay for me! But Christian loves me. He loves me! He loves me, Harold. And that is worth everything! We're going away from you, away from the Duke, away from the Moulin Rouge!"- Satinne

Remarkable. The first parts of the film was a waste of time but the ending saved the day! That one of the greatest ending in film history (I don't want to say it). ONE OF THE GREATEST ENDING! I couldn't stand the first part of the film. I hate musicals but this one rocks!

The story of you and me against the world is quite traditional and over-used but what they did to tell that story is unique. Very poetic but sometimes irritating.The film being a tragedy is quite ironic. All of the song numbers are very lively, joyful and energetic but when it comes to the two of them doing a song number it turns out to be sad or very romantic. Maybe they did that to show that Satinne and Christian doesn't belong to the world where they are but instead they belong to each others world. That if ever one will be gone the other will also be gone. And that's what happened.

Very funny. Esp. the airport scene. Very smart. I was expecting more of an action kind of film, but it was more of a "comedy-smarty' kind of film. Great direction with no other than Steven Spielberg. The story is interesting and unique. One of the best biopics I've watched. The cast is great especially Tom Hanks Christopher Walken. Amy Adams was very cute in this film. She was outstanding. I also liked the opening sequence. One of the best! I hope to see more movies with great stories but flawless direction.

This movie proves that is a big factor in making a good film. Very simple story but brilliant. There were funny moments but there are also sad moments. People can relate to this film very much. Especially people with great big problems. Happiness also is the big message of this movie. We can never achieve it if we continue to do things that mekes us feel somehow isolated. Another is the principle of acceptance with others. Let us think that there is something good in every person. (So much of the reflection). The cast were great especially Kevin Spacey. He was great. The best scene for me is the "plastic scene". Very simple but excellent.

Beyond his silence, there is a past. Beyond her dreams, there is a feeling. Beyond hope, there is a memory. Beyond their journey, there is a love.

A film that anybody can easily absorb. The story was great. It discusses one of the greatest issues of all-time, mercy killing. It was definitely simple but brilliant. The best boxing movie I've watched. Very realistic. Hillary Swank is a great actress. Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood also did a great job. Their performances was very natural. I can't imagine any actors that can replace them. They did carry the whole film from start to finish. This movie deserves to win the Oscar. I like it when simple films win the Oscars. It. It proves that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

"So my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time togther they both so longed for and deserved. Which ever since I've ... always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out of life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or evasion but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness."

This is my favorite. I like movies with sad ending, weird right? That's why I like this film. The plot is very simple but brilliant. The cast were great. The thing that I liked the most about this film is the musical score and the story. I think that's the best parts of the film. Atonement deserves the awards and nomination they have. Though the film isn't perfect. There were inconsistencies in the direction. There were parts that's too elaborate or should I say too "artistic if compared to other scenes. But it is a minimal mistake. I hope to see more quality movie like this.

A very matured film. Not n the sense that it has explicit scenes but because it has contents that people like me can't understand easily. On the technical side, the cinematography is one of the best. The actors were also great. Especially Christian Bale. The story is very unique. But all in all it is one of the greatest film I've watch. A MAGICAL RIVALRY.

Innocence is what he knows. Beauty is what she sees

Definitely one of Tim Burton's best. Tim Burton is slowly having a great idea of what his films will look like. It reflects his personality. When you watch a film you know if it is Tim Burton or not. Great Director. Johnny Depp proved that he is a great actor. No matter what genre comedy or drama he do it well. I hope to see more of his variations. The ending made me stop. It's like every clock in the world stopped. Effortless masterpiece by the actors and the directors. One thing I noticed is the costume of the Avon Ladies. Very 70's. Esp. the color.

I think most of the modern people can relate to Juno's life. This story is very "now". About the film. At first I thought, it is gonna be another stereotype American-comedy film but it's not. It brought a lot of new vibe in the Oscars. The script made the film deserving for the nomination, but (for me) not for the award. At least I've watched Atonement. And comparing the two, I think Atonement is way better than Juno. There is the feeling of sadness after the film (there should be) but it was like "nothing special". As for Ellen Page, she was great. She deserves her Oscar nomination.

Great story but the explicit contents was the pullback of the film. But I can't blame the director. At least it was necessary for the film. The cast was great but I don't think Kate Winslet deserves her Oscar. I think it is for someone else. Although all my praises to her. She did a great job. It was sad for Kross because I thought this is going to be his breakthrough film. He still haven't got his breakthrough performance but he is a very dedicated actor. Great film. Try to watch it without any minor with you.

A great film. Kate Winslet did a great job in this film even greater than her performance in The Reader. Leonardo DiCarpio is just okay in this film. I think Kate Winslet carried the whole film. The film is about young couples having problems in their married life. I think people can learn something from the film. It is a very sad movie though. Recommended to newly weds. Watch this film.

Cold mountain has the same story with Atonement. Both are about two lovers away from each other. The story of the film is very brilliant. I think this movie deserves a best picture nod. The cast did great. Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger and Jude Law were brilliant in the film. Renee Zellweger deserves her Oscar. I think Jude Law and Nicole Kidman should have been nominated at least. A certified must-see.

"I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!"
This movie will be remembered over decades. I think this is the highest grossing film of all time. The ending is great. The cast is also good. First time, in my life that I was entertained by watching hundreds of people die in the same time =)). lol.

Very fun film, but not in the end. Love the idea. Very original. The idea of making a classic modern was a good move of the director.The cast was great! They were able to memorize the hard lines with feelings. Very interesting.

It's not "very bad", just "bad". The last moments of the film saved it from being horrible. The "storytelling" style was very bad. My favorite scene was the last one. That scene saved the whole movie. When he realized the effects of his actions. You can feel his sadness in a way.

It's Johnny Depp, so I need to watch it. Johnny Depp was good but Kate Winslet was just okay. Nothing especial with her performance. The story was great! It's good to see what's the behind the story of Peter Pan. The reality behind Peter Pan.

Meryl Streep did a great job in this film, she's great! The story was like Ugly Betty. The movie was okay and a bit predictable from the beginning up to the middle part but the ending was unexpected. Though the ending surprised me, all in all, the film was just okay. Definitely this is not just okay. "Good" will do.

very annoying

So much better than the first. I hate the first one. I don't know why. This movie is disgusting. Too much gore. The ending was a big surprise. (I don't wanna say it). In this sequel, we learned more what's behind the syndicate that kills everybody.

One of the best. I saw this on a film showing in our school. I was amaze on how this movie was told in a way that it will not be boring.

a very touching film

A real tearjerker. Good movie, sad ending. I was bored at first but the ending saved the whole film. I was shocked with the ending. I never thought that would happen. The story was great, one of the best. The acting was also good. I just hope the cinematography was improved.

Weird film. Imagine a town full of robotic wives and manipulative husbands. That's a big NO. The reason why I watched this film is because it is Nicole Kidman. I thought this is a heavy-drama film but it is not. The twist in the end was good but the story itself is not working well. Good luck for those who is planning to see this.

Love. Pain. Glory.

I think Michael Rouke should have won the Oscar. I think he did better than Sean Penn. About the movie, it was a bit sad with the case of his daughter. The ending is not clear, weather it's a happy or a sad one. That's why I think this film is not predictable because there's no clear ending. That is the reason why I gave it 5 stars. The movie made you think the ending. There is an "audience participation". For me that makes up a brilliant film.

"... and she was beautiful". Great cinematography, costume, acting, story etc. This is a very good film. The only thing that was not good was the voices. Carter's voice was silly even Depp's voice. But who cares! The film was very good.

"Dear Lana, By the time you read this I'll be back home in Lincoln. I'm scared of what's ahead, but when I think of you I know I'll be able to go on. You were right, Memphis isn't that far off. I'll be taking that trip down the highway before too long. I'll be waiting for you. Love always and forever, Brandon."- Brandon Teena

A great film (based on true events). Hillary Swank and Chloe Sevigny did a great job in this film. One of the best biopics I've watched. The movie was very simple but because of the acting, the movie became one of the best. Not a happy film definitely but satisfying. It's great to have at least a peak on Teena Brandon's life. I feel sad for Teena Brandon. With all the controversies, Hillary Swank deserves the award. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is thinking this. She deserves her Oscar.

Great acting by the lead guy but not with Gwyneth Paltrow. I didn't like her much in this film. There was an unjust feeling in her side. I do think the didn't blend with each other much. There was an enormous amount of sensuality between the two of them but it seems that they don't get it right. About the other member of the cast, Judi Dench is the greatest. She is the best. She deserves her Oscar very much. The rest of them is great. They really pulled everything together well. I also appreciate the other elements of the film, the costume, story, cinematography etc. I hope to see more of Gwyneth Paltrow. I think she is the next Meryl Streep.

There inconsistencies in the film. Some of them worked but others didn't. For me it is a bit of a trying-hard film (not good to start my review). But if you try to look further, you can see a real meaning of the film. The story was one of the simplest. There was nothing really special with the story. It's about jealousy, that's it. But the big "BOOM" of the film is the acting and execution. I've already watch Chocolat and Erin Brockovich. Comparing the three, I think Chocolat stands out. It was a ver organize film unlike Gladiator. But I do agree with gladiator winning. There was so much talent in the film. Full of effort. That is what the other two films doesn't have.
