I absolutely loved this movie.  It created such a realistic world and did it with no excuses or failures.  The nostalgia of the scenes, the plot and the acting truly made this movie.  If you have a good audio system, crank it to watch.  There are scenes that just come alive with both visuals and sound (no spoilers... ;)  )

The acting was much more than I'd expected from a teenage group of actors. Obviously thier direction was superb, but few would have pulled off what this group did.

If I had more than two thumbs, they'd all be up.

Most Amazing show I have ever seen! Can not wait to see what happens in season 4. So far seasons 1 2 & 3 couldn't have been more entertaining. I can't imagine what they will think of next, I hope this show never ends, it's so good to know that I have exactly 3 more seasons to watch! This show is raw, real, funny, yet sad... you fall in love with each character and start to understand their struggles. I love watching it and any person who enjoys a real show with really fantastic actors should watch this!

Stunning! I rarely write reviews, but this movie literally changed me. Its tone kind of reminded me of 'Amadeus', another favourite of mine.  I have always been a Stephen Hawking fan, but seeing this absolutely made me fall in love with him even more. I was absolutely taken by Eddie Redmayne's performance in this, and I will forever think of him as Stephen.  It was a very well deserved Oscar indeed. The acting and casting was immaculate. I literally sob every time I watch it, it is so very moving...
Some people were clearly wishing for a more detailed explanation of his physics theories, and although those are somewhat discussed in the film, they are not the focus for a good reason: We are instead looking at Stephen's and Jane's lives, and at his perseverance, at the inspiration that he has been to humanity, at his courage to endure and to continue living with a wonderful sense of humour and disposition in spite of living with ALS. Perhaps his book provides better details about his theories. At any rate, this is a beautiful story, and it is very much worth watching and buying. It is a beautiful piece, absolutely indispensable in any DVD collection.

The acting was insanely good. I miss watching this show when I was a kid. One of the best shows to ever air on television. From the acting, to the producing, to the music. Everything just made this show great.

This is by far the best movie ever. Everything is good: the songs,the jokes, the animation, and even the spoofing. If you have not seen this film then you are just another person. But if you have, then you're one of us. One of the million people out there in the world that are fortunate enough to see this movie. I rented it just to see what it was like and the first five minutes blew me away. I've never ever in my entire life laughed as hard as i did when i first saw this movie. My favorite song is "What Would Brian Boitano Do?". and my second is "Mountain Town". I like when they show the terrance and phillip movie. I learned so many new insults and jokes tis not even funny. I can't wait for a sequel. I watch the show but i have only seen a few episodes but the movie is better then them all!!!! If you don't like this movie then you musta been stoned when you watched it because i showed it to my mom and even she was cracking up. Trey Parker is the coolest person on the face of the earth aside from Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. I hope you make the right discision and watch this film cuz tis phenominal.

Don't start this unless you have time to watch all 4 hours at once.  You won't be able to turn it off!  Simply wonderful!  The acting is fabulous.  Richard Armitage as John Thornton is a very brooding, passionate character.  I hate to say it, but he's better than Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy!  If you liked Pride and Predjudice, this is a must have.  I would give it 10 stars if I could.

This show is simply the best series I have ever watched. I laughed, I cried. It was a brilliantly woven tale of plots (no pun intended), sub-plots, complex characters, great acting, great writing and great visuals. I could not stop watching it and when it was over, it was over. Fantastic. Really gets you thinking about your own life and living it day by day.

This one of my favorite film or television experiences ever.  I had read War and Peace, but honestly it was never my favorite.  I was skeptical that I would enjoy this.  But it was incredible.  The acting and storytelling is amazing.  I literally sobbed for about 20 minutes after viewing one of the climactic scenes (something I never did while reading the book!).  All of the principal characters are amazing, especially Paul Dano and James Norton.  I plan on watching this again in a few years -- it was that good.

I am one of several reviewers who happened upon this while flipping through channels and landing on a PBS station. I caught it near the beginning. I was so transfixed I couldn't take my eyes off it. The performance is near perfection. The idea of a narrator on stage with the characters and I won't reveal any surprises here - is brilliant. Stew is brilliant.  That Spike Lee filmed it during the very last performance of the show's Broadway run was also brilliant. The cast and audience were well aware that it was the "Grand Finale" and it only adds to the excitement. I bought the DVD for myself right away.  I'm buying the DVD as a gif for someone this Christmas. Another generation needs to watch this and pass it on.

As the title says, this was the best movie I have seen in my 45 years of living on this planet.  I have seen thousands of movies and it has been a passion of mine since early childhood.  So, why you ask was this the best movie I ever saw?  Well, it's quite complex on one hand and very simple on the other.  Imagine waiting 18 years upon meeting someone to actually seeing them at their finest.  That's a long drink of time to wait to see someone's potential.  I sincerely hope you've seen the movie or this will be a horrible spoiler for you, but when Yoda appears to go one on one with the story's villain the audience as though it had one voice in unison, gasped and my eyes mist up when I think back on it.  The anticipation of such a moment was truly cinematic magic and a testament to the magic George Lucas and company have blessed American cinema with.  The Disney franchise has nothing on this guy but I digress.  I was so thrilled to see Yoda strut his stuff and felt as if I knew him so well in having seen him in three other features.  The other factor that pushed this movie over the top to the number one slot of all time was how visually stunning the picture was.  Each scene was coated with so much eye candy I was pinching myself repeatedly as I watched it to remind myself this was the first of what will become many multiple viewings.  I've never watched a movie and anticipated it's arrival on dvd as much as I did this movie and I guess that's the barometer by which I judge my movies.  Sure, it wasn't without flaw and wooden acting by prepubescent children is a standard die-hard "Star-Wars" fans have grown accustomed to so I didn't deduct points for that but as a whole it was why the movie was invented and culminated the best of the best in the industry to show the rest of the world, "This is how it's done when it's done right".  May the force be with you.

The acting is the greatest feature of this mini-series. David Morse as Gen. Washington is but one of the many best examples.in this character driven play. I was so caught up in the drama that by the time the fourth episode came, I was in tears the entire time through. I was so impressed, I bought the series.

I have never laughed, cried, or touched myself so frequently to any other single DVD.  Just the sheer genius and comedy contained within 12 episodes is unbelievable.  Midgets, berettas, dear lord, I could go on and on and on, but I won't.

But I demand of you: you have to watch this movie with R. Kelly's commentary on.  At one point in the commentary, R. Kelly says that 'Trapped in the Closet' will be around long after he's gone; that it has had a "global closet effect."  The best part of all is that Mr. Kelly takes this piece of work completely seriously.  Contrary to the popular belief, 'Trapped in the Closet' is in no way, shape, or form a joke.

Unbelievable!  This film was real nice.  I got it just cuz it looked entertaining, maybe it would make me laugh.  It did more than that.  the acting is superb and unbelievably powerful at times.  I love this movie and  will probably watch it several times a year for many years to come.  Rent  it if you can find it, but it's definitely worth buying if you can't

I loved every minute of it. All the actors came to life for me, I felt I knew each one of them individually. I recommend this to everyone, it's not just a chick flick.
