'An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind'.
I'm not into putting quotes at the beginning of my reviews, but this particular remark sums up a special part of Gandhi so well that it had to be mentioned.
I was skeptical at first, what with a British man play... ...( read more )
Excellent film, first half is kind of slow but the movie captivates towards the end.
Once asked what he thought of the Western civilization Gandhi answered that it would be a good idea. Well, a great movie about Gandhi would be a good idea too.
An epic. Ben Kingsley is outstanding in this undoubtedly controversial best picture, it triumphs on subject matter alone. I really liked the cinematography, but the editing I found choppy and irritating - it's hard to keep a narrative that's so involved interesting, and to presen... ...( read more )
In the opening, filmmakers shows their difficulties to tell the story of Gandhi in a single feature-film.
But after I watch the movie, I think they did a good job!!!
The script is well-written, every essence and important part of his life is well-portrayed.
Ben Kingsley's best... ...( read more )

Very beautiful film! You learn alot from this film. A very nice drama. Also, great acting from Ben Kingsley.
I?ve had a pretty low opinion of this film for years, probably because I had a pretty bad attitude when I first saw it. Watching it now with less of a chip on my shoulder, I think it works pretty well. Ben Kingsley is really pretty damn good here, he?s doing a great impression ... ...( read more )
Just a superb film. Ben Kingsley is amazing! Martin Sheen is wonderful-the whole cast is really just great. A very emotional film-don't watch when you're looking for something light and funny.
OMG! he looks lyk gandhi! watched it n skool...wasnt really paying attention so dont kno wat 2 rate it...
Ben Kingsley is amazing as the spiritual leader Mohandas Gandhi in this fantastic movie. I don't know if it's historically accurate, but it doesn't matter.
this movie is truly epic, it was breathtaking and amazing. a bit dull at times, but also unintentionally humorous n others. realistic and truly remarkable. grateful for chance of getting to watch this movie. beautifully done, and kingsley was nothing short of majestic.

An excellent film that will most likely reach my top ten films one should watch in his lifetime. My only concern is that I struggle to separate my review of this film from simply the power of this story, and this person. Excellent job by Ben Kingsley nonetheless.
mm pues visualmente esta muy bien y es una peli biográfica en teoría debería encantarme pero no se esta como que no atrapa y se olvida fácilmente

Worshipful tribute to one of the world's great leaders, transcending the typical biopic with vivid recreations of important events. Ben Kingsley is superb in the title role.
I was quite taken with the book the wit and wisdom og gandhi. I was curious about his bio I never looked it up. A good movie. You can change thigs with peaceful resistance instead of violence.
Not my type of film really its a very religious film about him believing in non-violent and stuff and believing that you should never hurt your enermies.
It was a very religious film and a type of film I'm just not into but I had to watch it because it was a video we all had t... ...( read more )
