I would rate it a zero if possible. The movie was so boring and contrived that I felt nauseous after the first hour. The randomly placed narrations by Jena Malone were laughable. The storyline is so bland that I felt like I ordered a sand smoothie at the concessions stand. After you see this film (if you can call it that) you have an insight into the spoiled kid mentality. Written by a privileged male who obviously yearned for a challenge, an adventure, something other than their actual drab, guided existence. The problem, though, is that this story is told as if it was a campfire tale. Complete with embellishments and drama to the point of being unbelievable and humorous. Like I said I walked out of the theater. I wish I had asked for a refund. Sean Penn owes me $16.00!

It was simply a wonderful film. The movie really could have been directed by anyone, but the Burton touches were nice. I recommend seeing this movie immediately! Another interesting thing is the fact that Elfman did the soundtrack but it doesn't sound like him.

Let's face it, everything went downhill after White Zombie broke up. I miss the good ole days. This movie is much more of the same. No movie can live up to 2 years of hype. None. I gotta write four lines it says so here is the last line. There.

Cold War enthusiasts are like Civil War enthusiasts in that they get extremely upset when something is portrayed differently than it actually happened (or differently than they THINK it happened). When you read a negative review of this movie, that is what you are seeing. It may not be 100% factual with the timeline and all of that, but who cares? It is still an excellent movie. The acting is wonderful and the message is even better. Dwight Schultz does an amazing job with his role. The entire cast must have lost 50 lbs each to look like skinny 1940s people. If you haven't seen this film, see it. If you have and you didn't like it, please see it again and look at it with an open heart. It truly questions the moral issues of developing the bomb. It makes you think!

This movie more than makes up for Episode I - The Phantom Menace. You will be impressed. The scenery and visual/special effects are breathtaking. The only negative thing about this movie is the poor acting by Portman and Christiansen. Oh well... I'd sit through their drivel again to SEE the movie. Is there any way to watch it with the sound turned off? =)

I was kind of skeptical when I went to go see Spider-Man, thinking that Tobey Maguire was definitely not the right person to play the pseudo-arachnid. After seeing the movie I'm still not sure that Maguire was the right actor for the job, but I am sure that this movie was excellent.

As the opening credits begin the first thing I thought was "Ohh this has got to be Danny Elfman music.." Sure enough it was. That is step #1 in the director's guide to having a successful action movie: You must have Danny Elfman provide the music (Well, Elfman or Alan Silvestri). The music throughout is excellent. Willem Dafoe is good as the Green Goblin. The movie has very few slow points, but most of them involve sappy love scenes between Maguire and the poorly-casted Kirsten Dunst. There are 3000 other redheads who could have played MJ better. Cliff Robertson plays a surprisingly good role as Peter Parker's uncle, Ben.

Overall the movie is enjoyable. It definitely gets you psyched about the sequels. The coolest parts of this movie is the very last scene where Peter Parker asserts: I am Spiderman. =)
