This movie sets ridiculous goals for itself, and it manages to achieve those goals. It is filled with great performances, excellent technical precision in cinematography/editing/sound, and it is tackles big philosophical questions. Being about art and ego, however, it is (almost necessarily) pretentious. It may be a hard sell for people who are not "artsy", but it is incredibly well executed.
The Hunger Games books went downhill over the course of the trilogy, so that should be expected of the film adaptations as well. Despite the money-grabbing decision to split into two movies, there are some things to be valued in this movie. It is entertaining and generally well executed. It just doesn't have the strongest source material. If you read and enjoyed the books, you will likely enjoy the movie.
This is a great story, made all the more incredible by the fact that it is true. The movie is tense throughout, and the acting by all cast members is excellent. Highly recommended!
The idea behind this movie is great, and it is carried through effectively. Unfortunately, the story drags at times. This is a very good movie, but don't let the buzz surrounding it make you expect a life-changing viewing experience.

Great adaptation of a disturbing book. The acting is excellent, the cinematography is beautiful, and the screenplay (adapted by the author of the novel) keeps all of the essential elements of the book intact. As long as you're not expecting a rom com, you should love this dark movie!
This may be the best X-Men movie yet. The source material is handled extremely well, the cinematography and effects are excellent, and Hugh Jackman delivers another great Wolverine performance.
Aside from the artistry of the character design and animation, this movie is simply incredibly entertaining. The Blu-Ray/DVD also has great behind-the-scenes featurettes.
It had been a while since I read the source material for this movie, but it seemed quite faithful to what I remembered of the book. It is well executed all around. It stands on its own as a very good movie in addition to being based on a very good book.
This expertly crafted movie is beautifully shot, brilliantly acted, intensely action-packed, and also unexpectedly thoughtful. It's simply a wonderful experience to watch. It is perhaps one of the few movies that actually SHOULD be seen in 3-D, if you have the chance. It should definitely be seen in HD.
