I love this movie so much, it got me into writing a book about the Zodiac. The movie was very well made and I like how the two main characters (Robert Graysmith and David Toshci) don't actually meet each other until the middle of the movie.
Okay, I liked the movie (mostly b/c of Mark Ruffalo & Jake Gyllenhaal), but also b/c of the suspence and mystery. After a while, though, it got kinda old and at one point I found myself wanting to slap Jake Gyllenhaal's character upside the head. The ending p'd me off to no end. I mean, they KNEW it was him! They had their own evidence, w/o there being actual, physical evidence. It was like "You're telling me that I basically just wasted almost 3 hours of my life watching this and you still didn't catch the guy all b/c you 'couldn't prove it'." It made me mad, I couldn't believe it. My head was literally throbing after it got over. All in all, pretty good...(like i said, mostly for Mark and Jake).
This wasn't very good, i acutally stopped watching half way through cause it was so boring!
Fincher's worst.
Very ambitious, but flawed. Scenes are mishandled, have the wrong tone, and have bad acting. Their are some bright spots though.
As usual in a Fincher the cinematography and editing are top-notch. Gyllenhaal is kinda bland in the beginning, but comed alive and is great in the last hour and a half. Robert Downey Jr. turns in another great performance. Mark Ruffalo is great as well. John Carroll Lynch and Brian Cox also make the most of their appearances. Plus, the film has two of the most terrifying sequences I've ever seen.
Despite this, the weak beginning lingers so much, that the film couldn't be elevated to great status.
In the movie zodiac.. Who is the guy sitting in a van type truck with bloody hands and kinda blondish hair.. this movie was a blast, I thought it was interesting from start to finish. One other part that kinda' had me thinking was when robert graysmith is with the guy who "played organ at the theatre".. was this a hint that there was more than 1 killer or just an old weird guy getting his kicks scaring poor young jake?/lol.. anyways, thanks for the replys in advance...
Just wait next year for the uncut version of Zodiac dvd. I really hope to see it trough, just for watch the reall survivors interviews..
I've always found Fincher to be an excellent,but basically technical,filmmaker-it's all precision aesthetics,no substance.Barring that,he makes kickass eye-candy,and I like his movies in spite of my "better judgment"--he's like Ridley Scott with less interesting scripts to work with."Zodiac" is well worth seeing,though.I guess it bombed at the theatre partly because of the great glut of serial killer movies of late,and two(maybe three) other versions of the Zodiac saga having been made in the last coupla years.
I honestly think this was far better than the critics believe, despite the fact that it seemed to get 4 stars all round.
it was a cool movie. i wanted to see it ever since it was on America's most wanted.
I love this movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was very interested in seeing this as I studied this case for years. However, as it seems, (of course I should have guessed), the movie is about the characters surrounding the case, I'm not all that interested anymore.
I guess I'd like to see a very completely well done documentary on the case, although I've read everything there is on it... (as far as I know)!
`)
me and my friend loved the story we thought it was pretty cool case, i didn't get to see the movie but i can't wait till it comes out on dvd
On a level of 1-10 (1 being the 'Wiggles', 5 being 'Misery', and 10 being like 'The Exorcist' or 'The hills have eyes') how scary was it?
great movie, it kept me glued to my seat lol. i wish more movies were this good.
gunnerxxx, of course the ending wasn't satisfactor... it's based off of a true story, andf they never actually caught the guy! I was in awe! This moive was amazing, and I honestly don't give a shit about the length, cause I didn't even notice. Great movies don't get over in an hour and a half.
IF YOU HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FROM WATCHING TV AND PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY, AND ARE LOOKING FOR A HORRIBLE FLOP MOVIE WITH TONS OF FART JOKES, THEN THIS MOVIE ISN'T FOR YOU.
Wow. 5 stars from me.
I'm somewhat amazed that peoplea re calling this a terrible movie! I was clued to the screen till the credits started.
i guess this movie looks pretty cool.. i mean its not something to go and die over but i will watch it anyways..
too long, bad casting, no satisfying ending...do not recommend it to anyone
