Great movie, especially the end scene. I really wanted to see " Dance Magic." but, it's probably in the deleted scenes. Luckily, I ordered the DVD. This movie actually made me cry. My favorite villain is Midnight Sparkle, she was spectacular!

This movie is disconcerting because it approaches within a hair's breadth the classic heights of movies like "Rushmore" and "Harold and Maude" but falls short because it ends too soon.  There is never any final resolution, epiphany, or turning point.  It ends just as you've decided that you love the characters and really care about what happens to them. When the movie ends you find yourself asking: what happens next?  Who wins?  And about a dozen other questions that beg to be answered.

The characters are indeed novel and hilarious.  The dead-pan humor is almost painful to watch it is so funny.  The performances are great by all involved.  My favorite was "Kip"--Napolean's 32-year-old brother, but I was super intrigued by Kip's beautiful black girlfriend who he met on a web chatroom.  I wanted to learn a whole lot more about her, she is a very intriguing character. She definitely has bad taste in men, because Kip is about the biggest loser to ever walk the planet!  Uncle Rico was a classic with his football fantasies and sales schemes. So was Granny, who we basically only saw two times, the last time flying off her ATV.

Napolean is a fascinating character.  He is different from most nerds: he is comfortable with who he is; one might even say he is brazenly confident.  I like that, he is a truly unique individual.  His little dance in front of classmates took a lot of...confidence, and I think that's why the kids cheered. My favorite scenes, however, were when Napolean is feeding his llama.  That was very amusing.

Unfortunately, the plot never quite went full circle.  I was waiting for the climax, which was never forthcoming.  But this movie, when all is said and done, is a must-see.  It is an almost-classic.  It is a bittersweet movie, because it approaches the realm of the great, and just misses it. It reminds you how quirky people can be, and how even odd-balls can be likeable.  And, it shows you that even if you are an oddball, you have nothing to apologize for, because oddballs can be good people and have lots of fun as well.

This movie was a shocker, and the ending is something that I would assume most people wouldn't assume, no matter how many movies you've seen in your lifetime. The acting was actually solid, and the humor was nice and balanced out throughout the movie. I would recommend it, and renting it for 99 cents, well worth it!

The Matrix revolutions (in my opinion) is the best movie I have seen in a while, one that I had been looking forward to beforehand as well.  Although some probably wouldn't agree, I thought the end of this trilogy brought a somewhat satisfying closure to the story. It shows you the war Morpheus had been referring to and foreshadowing since waaaay back in the first movie, Morpheus described how devasting the war was becoming and now you have a chance to see just how intense and overwhelming it really is.  I give the action scenes an A+.
Although I'm not much for love stories, I know a good one when it comes along and the latter scenes focusing on Neo and Trinity is extremely heart-felt, very well done.  Everybody has their own theories on what the Matrix "means" and what it is implying POSSIBLY about our world, frankly I don't know WHAT it was trying to tell us.....but what I got out of the movie is that it had a lot to deal with fighting for what you deeply believe in at all costs, making unselfish sacrifices at the most opportune moment, and dying for your loved one/s without thinking twice.  Love, sacrifice and war are all timeless ideas that every human being can instinctively relate to, so who's to say this movie is a waste?, even if you are one who didn't discover the movie ending you had expected.

Although the plot is a bit predictable, I LOVE this movie.  It touches on important themes worth pondering: love, forgiveness, not giving up on someone, the heartbreak of sacrifing one's values, life priorities and the inevability of death.

I really wanted to show this movie to my teens so we could discuss the positive themes.  However, there's an implied sex scene between a middle-aged woman and her daughter's boyfriend that doesn't add anything to the plot and made me skittish about letting the kids watch it.  I ended up fast forwarding through the two scenes in question.

But the movie is definitely worth viewing.  The acting is superb and love wins out in the end.

Me and my Daughter loved this movie. I'm sure people will dislike this movie because of the ending, but it's not suppose to be a Disney ending were everyone cheers and breaks into song. Even though I enjoy those movies also. It lets your child's use his or her imagination to think what really happened. Me and my 8 year old daughter got into a heated debate about this movie for an hour after it ended which to me was awesome. It's a very French artistic film with a cool soundtrack and great visuals. People should definitely give it a chance. I highly recommend it and was a welcome change from the norm. Well that's my two cents.

I liked this movie a lot. What was best about it were the characters. There was plenty of human frailty, but it was interesting to see the main character James find his inner goodness in his final hours. To me it was more of a redemption movie. Only thing I didn't like was the yellow filters used. I thought the yellow filters took away rather than added to the mood of the movie. Actors were terrific, definitely worth watching.

This will be very short: It is a great World War II movie (it is very violent) with great moviemaking and storytelling on all levels.  One of the best movies I have seen in years.  I truly do not understand the bad reviews.

If it wasn't for an unfortunately silly and unbelievable last scene (maybe 2 minutes), this would be a perfect movie, albeit very violent.

You don't have to be white or black to like this movie.  It is just a great film.

I recently watched this movie after not having seen it for a long, long time, and I have to admit that it is a very good movie, much better than most of the action genre.  Excellent special effects coupled with some amazing action sequences make for an exciting and gripping watch.  I particularly thought that the chase scene near the beginning was quite well done.  And I found Robert Patrick to be the perfect part as the T-1000 robot; his steely determined expression really was convincing.  In terms of this movie being a "classic" as some reviewers would have it--I wouldn't go so far.  The movie does have some inconsistancies and weak parts.  But overall, it is a very good and entertaining action movie.  It's kind of odd watching this movie with its post-apocalyptic element; the movie came out just at the end of the Cold War era when the possibility of an apocalyptic end to civilization was very real; that likelihood has, thankfully, become much less likely, and I think that makes the movie less unsettling and dark as when I first saw it.

This is one of those movies that you go away from the theater thinking "What a horrible ending." But then you can't stop thinking about the rest of the movie, the good parts (like Titanic). The beginning was slow... you're thinking, crash the plane already! The crash scene was very exciting on the big screen. Much better than any I have ever seen. I thought the island part would be boring but it's actually the highlight of the film. His ingenious ways of using fed ex packages was neat, and his failed attemps to get of the island make your heart ache. But when he finally does get off the island (which was ruined in the trailers) and sees his old girlfriend, the movie goes downhill. The ending is too realistic. It could have been happy! And the hope the finale offers you is not much. They should offer an alternate ending on DVD, but of course they won't. So my title pretty much sums up the film.

Though not quite as good as "The Dark Knight", this was a very satisfying Batman movie and a great way to end the trilogy.

That's not to say there weren't a few issues.
1. Why didn't Batman use any of his gadgets in his fight against Bane.
2. The pit hardly seemed like hell on earth. The prison from the fist movie seemed a worse one.
3. The clock on the time bomb. Why do movies always like to put the timer on a bomb at an unrealisticly low counter. (An hour to go after the final confrontation with Bane would have been much more believable than 10 minutes.)

BTW, Anne Hathaway is great as Catwoman (though she never goes by that name in the movie) bringing up memories of actress Julie Newmar's Catwoman.

We definitely enjoyed watching this movie. The story line was unique and kept us engages throughout. Actors/actresses in the movie were superb.
The only thing I would critique was that there were three points at the end where we thought the movie was ending and it kept going.

I would really like to give this movie a 4 1/2, but seems I can't I will give it a 5. I enjoyed watching the movie, but felt more effort should have been put into the ending of the movie. The movie made you think, what would I do if this really happened? And how would I protect my children? The scariest part is that if we were ever faced with something like this, it WOULD spread like wildfire. Both Nicole Kidman and and Daniel Craig deliver great performances. I really liked the chemistry between them and Nicole's portrayal of fighting to stay awake was great. If you like Sci Fi movies, and do not require a lot of special effects or gore, then you will want to watch this one.

Things you won't find in a bomb shelter:
Handcuffs. Endless running water.

Things you won't do in a bomb shelter:
Open a hatch and never look up. Not try the door.  Leave the tap on.  Ever.  Garden without composting.

Overall, I liked the movie.  These little moments of absurdity are easy to get over.  I found myself engaged with the characters. I love how they find their own space in the shelter.  Brilliantly done.  I'm even OK with the out-of-sequence delivery.  I think it actually does cause the viewer to ask questions like "What happened to ____?" and pulls you into the story more.  This is why there is no need to character develop any extensive back stories as some think.

So the story unfolds in a non-linear way. predicting the real situation early on but I didn't let that bother me either because the characters are engaging.

My one complaint about the whole movie, and it is a big one, is that the last scene makes no sense to me whatsoever.  We are to believe that guilt is more powerful than freedom.  It is human nature to be free at any cost.  I say no way on that outcome.  This brings the movie down a notch from liked it to just ok.

Great movie, got some genuine chills watching it, only complaint is the ending, but this is a great possession film.

I finished this movie yesterday, and simply have to watch it again. Contrary to some others who have reviewed the movie, I did find myself having an intense connection with the main characters. Despite the broad use of profanity (which is actually quite appropriate to the a context of the subject matter), I did enjoy seeing it, and had it in mind for hours afterward. A lot of impact. One minor puzzle was my wonderment as to why the Germans didn't just pound the tank with Panzerfausts from the outset. It did, however, make for a great story. Some might not have the stomach or ears for this movie but, otherwise, it's well recommended. Reminded me in one sense of another "grizzly" favorite - Goodfellas.
