I liked everything about this movie i think it was very well written and acted perfect cast as well. reese witherspoon and paul rudd are a perfect fit for these roles. amost from the very begining you find that you really care about what happens in each of their lives.
i don't want to give away the plot it is a very well done love/true love story with a huge heart and it's really a movie i think we can all relate to on some level and i can't recommend this movie enough it's really that good....
What's great about it: i liked it all alot..one of the best movies i've seen in years.
What's not so great: nothing it is great do yourself a favor and watch it.....
I don't give bad reviews but this movie was exceptionally bad the special effects were ok but that alone didn't make up for a really bad plot and acting. i almost walked out while watching all the stupididty unfolding on the screen. this movie was soo bad that i won't even consider going to see battle for la because the previews for it look way to much like this movie. i would not suggest anyone ever see this movie. it's poorly written all the charectors are completely under developed and utterly moronic the acting is whole heartedly under inspired. the dialog is highly stilted and the pacing is all wrong... not to mention the fact that this movie has no real ending it just kind of stops dead in it's tracks honestly i left the theater feeling robbed of both my time and money./.....
What's great about it: some decent special effects but thats it...
What's not so great: almost everything is not great about this movie.

Very good but not perfect

I thought long and hard before buying this for my blu-ray collection and i finally bought it last week and put it together last night and i have to say i'm happier with it then i thought i would be.
Let my give you the pros and cons of this rack pro's 1. it looks really good. 2. it's easy to assemble 3. it will actually hold 257 blu-rays which is a big pro in my book! 4. it does not take up much space 5. it's sturdier then i thought it would be withe only alittle side to side sway nothing to be concerned about unless you are using it for dvd's which weigh more than blu-rays.
ok now for the con's whoever designed this didn't put enough thought into it to make it just 1/2 inch wider on each side if they had blu-rays would fit 100%! as it is they/ blu-ray's stick out just over 1/4 of and inch! fortunately this slight hang over isn't very noticable even from 6-7 feet away.
con 2 i would not recomend this for someone who plans on storing dvd's on it as the weight of the dvd's will reduce it's stability and DVD'S will hang over the edge twice as much as the blu-rays do.
to sum up good for cd's and blu-rays bad for dvd's... and it really does look good in any room.
What's great about it: almost perfect
What's not so great: they should have made it slightly wider 1/2 in on each side..
You know i forgot how great this movie is because it's been so long since i've seen it....now i have it on blu-ray and it is awesome. i think universal makes the best blu-rays out there and the rock was born to play this role i liked everything about this movie i just wish there were alittle more in the way of extras but thats it. this is one movie i can watch over and over and not get bored with it it's that good and like the other universal movies i have it looks and sounds perfect. and no one can beat the title menu on these universal blu-rays they are the coolest so if you like movies that have alot of action adventure and great one liners and are just plan fun then you'll love this movie....like i do..
What's great about it: EVERYTHING STORY PLOT ACTION HUMOR ETC ETC..
What's not so great: COULD USE A COUPLE MORE EXTRAS BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

I have owned 3 of these over the past 6 yr's ! and now i'm looking to get a 4th one for blu-rays.... what does that tell you ? everything thats what ! they are easy to put together they look good they hold alot and they are sturdy and they last plus you are not going to get a better price for this quality and size anywhere believe me i looked..... i can't wait to see how many blu-rays i can pack into it.....
anyway thats my experience with it and like i said i have had 3 of them for over 5 yrs now...and i want/need another one!
What's great about it: Great price size capacity assembly looks
What's not so great: It would be nice if it was alittle larger in terms of width.
I finally bought this blu-ray a few days ago i put off buying it for a long time because i didn't have a very good experience seeing it in the theater screaming children people yelling at the screen etc so i really couldn't hear what holmes was saying half the time also the movie looked to dark in the theater...
However this blu-ray is a different story i love everything about it ! the look of the movie the acting even the storyline is quite interesting and the special features are really good as well. i'm really glad i bought this and i can't get over how great RDJ is in this role . so there you have it short and sweet it's definately worth getting on blu-ray.
What's great about it: much better than what i remembered
What's not so great: that i waited this long to get it.
I'm really glad i decided to get the blu-ray combo pack i can honestly say that there is nothing about it that i don't like.
1. The blu-ray quality is top notch. 2. The storyline is very cool and funny all the way through. 3. The acting is spot on which is usually the case with these actors. 4. the special features were excellent and more than i expected. 5. i definately feel like i got my moneys worth on this one and thats a very good feeling to have at the end of the day.
What's great about it: I like everything about it!
What's not so great: nothing it's really a good well done film.
For the first time ever i refused to buy a blu-ray because of the pakaging the case for this blu-ray dvd combo is huge at least 18in wide! definately would not fit into my collection. if you see it you'll know what i'm talking about.
i did see this movie in the theater and i liked it alot it's very funny and clever with alot of action...
What's great about it: The movie itself.
What's not so great: the huge package it comes in no thanks!
This is a pretty good movie with some funny moments in it but it is definately over rated and over the top frankly i was starting to get bored near the end which is odd because i never get bored still a good movie just be prepared because i feel it's alittle longer that it should be.
What's great about it: some funny aspects
What's not so great: lengthy not so funny aspects.
They don't learn from thier mistakes ! once again!

Ok i could talk about how awful the acting is but thats not really fair to the actors i think the problem lies with the script and the poor direction.
because of this the acting feels forced and uncomfotable i get the feeling that the characters themselves are very VERY well aware of the camera on them and that they are in a movie thats not paying any real homage to the centries old vampire mythology that has been firmly established this really rubs me the wrong way.
all of these actors here are cabable of soo much more especially dakota fanning and robert pattinson. this movie was obviously made for teenage girls who don't care about the fact that those are not werewolves they are just LARGE CG wolves!!!! or the fact that robert pattininson looks like he's going to fall asleep in most scenes and needs a haircut...or the fact that kristen stewart has problems finishing a thought or sentence for that matter....instead they forget all that and instead concentrate on the drivel that is the contrived infatuations in the film. i think this movie takes full advantage of the fact that teenage brains in general are not yet full developed enough to understand that their judgements about such things are more hormone based than anything.
if i was a teenage girl i suppose i would be compelled to buy this at this price point as it is i would only consider it if it got down to $9.99 or if it was a gift.....even then i would be shaking my head through half the movie.
What's great about it: not much maybe just the look of it..
What's not so great: the direction the script the editing the pacing and the acting
THIS WAS WAYYYY BETTER THAN THE OTHER HULK (the Hulk). This one had good action, pretty good camera work, but it was missing something. Watch it and see for yourself.

Seen it 4 times
July 6, 2010
I saw this movie in the theater twice and on blue ray twice and it looks and sounds better on blu-ray then it did at the IMAX this is a great movie but i do think they should have had more of the hulk jumping and running like they did in the first hulk movie which i didn't think was that bad i thought the hulk parts were pretty good.
Really enjoyed this movie. I feel like this has the potential to be the next lord of the rings or Harry potter. The story is great. I am hoping this does well enough to release the next book to movie.

Better than harry potter i think
August 23, 2010
This movie seems alot fresher than something like harry potter it has a good pace to it a good story and good special effects.
i can't wait for the next ones to come out the acting was pretty good over all but i want there to be alittle more character development in the next one.
so if you like harry potter and the cronicles of narnia then you'll like this because it doesn't really bog down quite as much as the other two...they are good but i think this might be alittle better...and alittle more imaginative perhaps.
Movie was better than I expected...but what really blew me away was how good this bluray looks. Spectacular colors, no noise or grain....crystal clear picture.
If all blurays looked like this, everyone would want one. If you have a new high def bluray setup and want to show your friends what it can do, highly recommend this movie.

loved it !
September 26, 2010
this movie like just about every other movie has it's flaws however if you are a superman fan and you like great acting action and special effects like i do then you'll really enjoy this adaptation/addtion to the legend. there are some really outstanding and memorable scene's in this film....
ps: if you watch the same film day in and day out regardless of the film you will eventually learn how to hate it.....fyi
A great movie made better in blu-ray. You can pick out lots more details easier now than on the dvd or even from having seen it on the big screens in theaters.

Really really good on blu-ray!
October 4, 2010
Ok i just watched this movie again on blu-ray and i have to say that to me this looks like a perfect blu-ray transfer not just during parts of the movie but the entife film... the story and the acting etc is spot on never really any dull moments to speak of very good all the way around and i think it's perfectly cast you will definately get your moneys worth with this one great extra too! one minor suggestion though you may want to adjust your tv brightness alittle because alot of the scences are taken at night

Great halloween movie
October 4, 2010
I can't say enough good things about this movie it was everything i thought it should be one thing i can definately say is that it is a perfect blu-ray transfer all the way through the movie the action acting tone look and sound are all great i think anyone who buys the movie won't be let down it's just alot of fun and very well done!
This movie is one of the funniest movies of all time! Ben Stiller plays the ego maniac jock in the world of Dodgeball, while Vince Vaughn owns a small gym where geeky weaklings hang out. After several funny events, the two characters end up facing eachother and other teams in a Dodgeball tournament. The tournament was when I really noticed the audio, hearing the perfect ring of red rubber smacking against a face. This movie rocks!

A TRULY FUNNY MOVIE!
October 10, 2010
This is a great well written and well acted comedy with many funny moments and gag's.. I just got through watching this blu-ray version for the second time this week! it is a great/PERFECT blu-ray transfer in fact i don't think it could look or sound any better. so if you want to roll on the floor laughing DEFINATELY get this movie the" wrench training" sequence alone is worth the price of the movie....
Another great marvel character taken into the world of blu-ray. Definition of the movie is outstanding. Plus throw in all the extra features and you have a great movie. The plot was pretty good for an action type movie but could of used a little more character developement and tried to stay closer to the comics.

Makes me sad
October 10, 2010
That this movie was critically underrated and the fact that there hasn't been another daredevil movie yet ! make no mistake this is a great movie i'll admit i'm not a huge ben affleck fan but he is at his very best here this role was perfect for him and of course the blu-ray version looks awesome. my advise is don't believe anyone who tells you this isn't a good movie because it certainly is and it's more than worth getting on blu-ray....
The studios are starting the bait and switch under the Blu-ray banner.. Bought this movie to update my video collection to Blu-ray. Realized after the fact that the video is not 1080p HD. Specs says MPEG 2 @ 18 MBPS. Video doesn't look any different than my standard DVD copy version . Studios are starting to downgrade Blu-ray quality without informing the consumer. Make sure if you are buying Blu-ray movies from 20th Century Fox to read the specs to make sure you're getting full 1080p since they seem to be the only studio downgrading at this point or just check them all to be sure.

on my tv
October 25, 2010
i have an insignia NS-37L550A11 LCD HDTV AND A SONY BDP-N460... and the blu-ray version definately looks like any other blu-ray on this set and blu-ray player certainly much sharper and more colorful than the DVD version i have taken a good hard look at both versions on this set. so AVC @18MBS doesn't seem to matter at all it's still a blu-ray in terms of the way it looks and sounds i looked for flaws in the blu-ray and could not find any.. i suppose some disks might not be as good as others or on other HDTVS but on mine this is definately blu-ray quality all the way.
This would be worth picking up if it was the Extended Edition and some extras. Save your money and wait for the extended editions.

it's worth getting anyway
November 27, 2010
As it turns out there are some special features on the DVD that comes with it. i believe in having more than one set of these movies they are that great
It is truly a great movie...Wish I could enjoy watching it. My BluRay drive on my computer will not play it, and I cannot find updates or anything so that I can play it. They are obviously open now, and if I can't enjoy them at home what can I do? Feel a little helpless....good movie though

This is not a good way to watch this movie het yourself at least a 37in 120hrz flatty and a sony blu-ray player for you living room it'll play it and you'll be glad you did make the investment. watching it on your computer is not the way to go anyway not with this movie unless it's on DVD....
