I had never heard anything about this story in the news at the time it happened.  I found the movie to be informative without a lot of unnecessary graphical detail.  However, it is rated R for a reason.

I enjoyed Deja Vu quite a bit.  I really did not know anything about it beforehand, except for the title and that Denzel Washinton was in it. Now I am glad that I got to find out everything as the story unfolded on the screen, naive to the time concept central to the plot. Anyway, that is how Doug Carlin (Denzel's character) would have experienced it (ironically, though), so it was easier for me to put myself in his place--to discover evidence with him, to be surprised by the same events that he was, etc.

Therefore, I won't tell you very much about it, except that I was pleasantly surprised.  The opening scenes have some compelling shots that draw you into the story, and it isn't complicated to follow, but, at the same time, it is a smart film, in it's own way.  No one really completely understands about the "true" science of this anyway, so it is interesting to explore "what ifs". I saw at least one angle on the topic that was new to me.

I also liked how Agent Carlin fell in love before he "met" Claire and how he seemed to be compelled to save her at great risk to himself, as if he somehow knew that she belonged with him.

Of course it is not technically perfect and some of the acting is wooden, but the movie is an honest and unbiased account of the tragedy in Munich.  I appreciate that it was not made fraught with emotion and suspense.  Suspense was unnecessary as I am certain no one who watched this movie did not know how it ended.  And the impact of watching the Israeli athletes and coaches die is pure, gut-wrenching and no less difficult to watch than if it just happened.

It had some good parts but I've never been a big fan of movies that left you hanging for another movie. I've been a LOTR fan a lot longer than the movies and I didn't like the way they were done. The plot was good jumping a little too much at times but easily followable. Easy to apply to todays times and what's going on in our country. The book was whole so should the movie.

I enjoyed watching movie on the Plane. I watched it on the to london.

The documentry was very informative.  It was quite entertaining too. It was very well done in my eyes.  2pac fans will enjoy this movie.  I am not a big 2pac fan, but it was a good movie.

I enjoyed this movie.  I think he presented the information well, and with humor.  For people that are unaware of the deleterious effects of refined sugar on our bodies, watching the movie will give them something to think about.  My only criticism is that it is a long movie, which might discourage people from watching it all the way through to the end.

Okay, so here's the deal. I just ordered this, but I've already seen the movie, so I'm gonna go ahead and review it now.

I gave it four stars. The reason why is simple. I think it was decent overall. It served its purpose, and I came away from it feeling like I had enjoyed the experience. However, I do think it has a lot of room for improvement. It would have been nice if the movie had told the whole story, from the early days of Joshua and Estelle in Rolent all the way up to Weissman's defeat. Unfortunately, it did not.

The bottom line is this. If you can accept it for what it is, then it's actually pretty good. It's not a retelling of the whole Trails in the Sky story. What it is is a shorter version with a lot of events condensed into one hour-and-a-half long movie. I enjoyed it enough to purchase it because it really did feel the same to me at some points as playing the game did. I think they could have portrayed Estelle as stronger and more accomplished than they did, because in the game she is actually really impressive, but as far as her personality goes I think they did an excellent job with it.

4 stars is pretty good considering I heard a lot of negative things about this. I'm glad I took the time to watch it now that I've finished the game. I expect that I will be watching again.

The acting in the movie is not a fluid as a top box office however all can learn from this movie. I'm glad I watches it

I'm not exactly a movie expert, but I would have to say that I found this movie fairly enjoyable. I was attracted to this movie because of a grade school reading assignment where I had to read the book version of this movie. And it stuck with me even now in adulthood, as few things have. so when I found out that they were making a movie of this, I was immediately interested. But I kept putting it off for a while until I finally watched it recently. And I don't regret watching it at all. It's still not as good as the book but it's still something good to see if you want to explore the potential of a child's imagination.

I learned so much about the 1940's global political environment from this movie.  But also, it highlights some good human qualities, like kindness, honor, and loyalty.  It was well written, and well made.  It shows brutality without resorting to violence and graphic depictions.  It gives you a clear understanding of each character's background and motivations.  Better done than most movies.

I liked the first movie enough. I think this one was better. I'm not giving it five stars because it's as good as the best movies in the world--it sure isn't. However, it pretty much delivers right on what it promises, which is a fairly well done alternate view into a more blood thirsty America. The movie doesn't really give any surprises and if you've seen the trailer you know what you're getting into.

As the movie progressed and showed its hand--and I'm really thinking about how even cultured, rich people embrace this night of horror--I thought of the Roman Colosseum. I've never seen evidence that humans are any "better" now than thousands of years ago; our culture is certainly more moral, on the whole, but we've not evolved physiologically, and I think the idea that some would go for a nightly purge is plausible. Humans to this day still show they are capable of grotesqueness.

Of course, the movie does require the suspension of disbelief. The idea itself isn't tenable for a multitude of reasons (e.g. a guy who likes arson could just go lighting a bunch of fires and causing insane amounts of damage beyond the loss of human life).

I imagine they'll have a third and I'll watch it.

I enjoyed this movie.  I cringed at some of the graphic parts, but I'm not a real squeamish person - thank goodness.  I don't normally watch a movie more than once, but this is one of those movies I can watch multiple times.  I liked all the main characters.  I liked the fact this movie had both serious and funny parts in it.

I understood my girlfriend went to see the movie and walked out after five minutes because it was too violent.  what I liked about the book is that it told the story without being grafic

The acting was superb but the movie version depicted the real life events with minimal departure from the real story.

After reading some of the very diverging reviews, I had mixed feelings when watching this movie.

However, after watching it, I can safely say that this counts as one of the best DVDs I have seen in some time.

Of course, the music does have a special style, which not everybody likes, but it is sort of fitting to the presentation method which the author chose.

The research itself is held simple, yet very convincing. The evidence presented is easy, and yet weighs heavy. Also, the movie is kept very short, which doesn't allow much information to be fit in, but this is not really a bad point. It's great to see a movie once in a while which doesn't bombard its viewer with information.

What evidence the author shows when showing how it is quite unlikely that Jesus ever existed, much less the way he is shown in the bible, is quite thought provoking, after all, we are talking here about THE story which holds together the religion with the most participants worldwide. (Over 1 billion, if I am not mistaken).

All Christians base their faith off the bible, which you could think would have to be one hell of a book. However, it does contain a lot of errors (for example the solar system image which is painted in the bible, creation story etc.). Also, acts of incredible cruelty are presented and even advocated by the old testament. Most Christians at this point like to brush off the discussion, saying that "well, that's the old testament, it was very weird. The new one is what counts!"

If now, as suggested in this movie, the central figure of the new testament is nothing but a myth, then serious doubt should be provoked and maintained to the "world's most successful religion".

It was very engaging, interesting, and action packed.  Some scenes were a bit sad, and others clearly showed the screen writer's own moral views that I don't think really occurred historically, but it was a good movie over-all.

There are a lot of interviews and anecdotal view points. The basic political "theory" that the movie is advancing is that the current administration is like the man behind the curtain - a charlatan. While this movie is not a serious political discussion, it is nevertheless a worthwhile piece of entertainment that basically forwards the view that Obama has been heralded as some kind of savior of American values, when in fact he is nothing like this. For the generally uninformed public, this is a good introduction into their vast lack on knowledge. This movie will hopefully encourage people to do their own research and education themselves,instead of trusting mere sound bites selected by the media and other political architects.

I enjoyed it, and you might too! : )
