I've read and heard a lot of mixed reviews about this movie. Some people loved it, others hated it. All I can say is, my wife and I saw it in the theater and loved it! If you're a fan of Frank Miller's work, graphic novels and movies, then I think you'll love this movie. It's not as good as Sin City or 300, but it's still good. It's also meant to be an action/comedy, which is why I think a lot of people didn't like it or understand it. Samuel Jackson was hilarious. This movie's not as dark as some of his other movies. If you go into it with that perspective, and watch it for what it is, (an action/comedy,) then I think you'll like it, especially if you're a Samuel Jackson fan, like we are. So, I recommend it and hope this review was helpful.
What's great about it: Very artistic.
What's not so great: The humor was a bit cheesey at times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This movie was absolutely relentless! My wife and I loved it. I hope I don't spoil anything with this comment, but it was reminiscent of Jason and Michael Myers in that the villain never says a word and never shows his face. This is a good old fashion American slasher film! Of course the plots the same (crazy guy runs around killing people,) but that's what a slasher film is. It's how they go about it that differs one from another. And this one had imagination and lots of gore! If you're like us, and you love a good gore flick, you're in for a ride! The acting was great. The special FX were great. My only negative comment was that it could've had a better ending, (but that's just my opinion.) We loved it and say, BUY IT!
What's great about it: Fast paced, intense, and lots of gore!
What's not so great: The ending could have been better.

This movie was terrific! Excellent plot, great intrigue, great acting, and a fantastic ending. In this day and age, it seems like good endings are hard to come by. But, this movie nailed it! This was the kind of movie, like The Others, where at the end of the movie you're saying, "Whoa! I gotta watch that again!" There's even a guy on here that wrote a review saying he would recommend it to a friend, and he doesn't even like horror movies. That means, for all those like my wife and I that love horror movies, you're really going to like it. I say buy it, it's a sure thing!
What's great about it: The plot.
What's not so great: Nothing!

You don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy this movie, although my wife and I are. In fact, if you're not a wrestling fan and think it's fake, you should definitely watch this movie to see exactly what these great athletes go through. People who are not fans of wrestling brush it off as fake. Wrestling is staged sports entertainment, not fake! The torture these men and women put their bodies through, 300 days out of the year, for their fans is everything but fake. This includes retired wrestlers, like Mickey Rourke's character, who refuse to quit for their fans. This movie is practically a documentary for those wrestlers. Mickey Rourke does a supurb acting job and was actually coached by many Hall of Famers, such as, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and others. My only negative comment was the ending. My wife and I thought Darren Aronofsky could have concluded it a little better. (But that's just our opinion.) So, for all you wrestling fans, don't hesitate, BUY THIS MOVIE!!! For all those who don't like wrestling, I say watch it anyway. It may just give you a different perspective on this great industry and the wonderful forgotten greats that built it.
What's great about it: Mickey Rourke's performance.
What's not so great: The ending could have been better.

First of all, I'm a true movie buff. My wife and I love movies, especially the horror genre. We've always liked foreign films for their plots, but not so much on their acting. This movie blew us away!!! Regardless of the language, this movie was incredibly intense! Great plot, good acting, great cinamatography, and it made you want to watch all over again. We loved this movie! I highly recommend it! It's a mix between Hostel and H*llraiser. Ignore the fact that it's French, and just watch it! We as Americans should take notes from guys like Pascal Laugier and Dario Argento.
What's great about it: Plot, gore/special FX, and intensity!
What's not so great: It's in French!

I've been an Indiana Jones fan since I was a kid. My wife, father, father-in-law, and I went to see it in the theater. We all loved it. However, in recent months this movie has taken a lot of flack, including South Park ripping it apart. I thought this movie was terrific, (minus the refrigerator scene.) Just like all the other movies, this one was based off of truth. Alot of people don't know that. For me, it makes for a better movie. I can't figure out why some people hated this movie so much. Everyone I know has loved it. All I can think of, is that people are just being to critical or had too high of expectations. All I can tell you, is to watch the movie and make your own judgements. I thought it was great and I highly recommend it.
What's great about it: These movies get better and better!!
What's not so great: The refrigerator scene.

First of all, my wife and I are huge movie collectors. We currently own about 2,000 movies, half of which are horror/ thrillers (that's our favorite genre.) I'm not bragging, just showing credability. Secondly, we have a subscription to Fangoria magazine, which is where I read a four page article, boasting about this movie. We were extremely let down! I'll explain why. The movie starts with a four minute scene of water bubbles. I think they were trying to show someone drowning, but dragged it out too long. Then, the first hour is just flat out boring (I actually knodded out a few times.) Finally, the last 30 min. started to pick up. There were a few good scenes that got you into it, but then, it just ends. They never explain the kids, they don't tell you if they found their son, nothing! It just ends! To be honest, I was really looking forward to this movie, and what a disappointment. Like I said, when this movie drops to $5.00 or less, then watch it. If you like it, great. If you don't, then you'll know why I wrote this. I hope this review was useful (or at least saved you $20.)
What's great about it: A couple of scenes.
What's not so great: The fact that you have no idea what you just watched.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OK, so the plot's a bit cheesy (no pun intended.) It's fast paced, fun to watch and keeps your interest. If you like zombie genre films, I think you'll like it. It's a mix between Willard and 28 Days Later. If you're not into zombie movies, you might not like it. For those that do, I'd watch it!
What's great about it: Fast paced.
What's not so great: The plot was a bit cheesy.

This is one of the best occult/voo-doo films on the market! If you liked films, such as, Angel Heart and The Serpent and the Rainbow, you'll love this movie. Great plot, great acting, intrigue, and even great special features. (Which is a rarity these days.) I highly recommend purchasing this film, because you'll want to watch it more than once.
What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: Nothing!

This was an amazing movie! My wife and I were in awe. This movie has a brilliant plot that keeps twisting right up to this last scene, and you never see it coming. Willem Dafoe's acting is terrific, as usual. This is probably one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen in a long time. It's right up there with Seven. They couldn't have made it better, it was perfect. I can't say enough about it. Buy it, because you'll want to watch it over and over again!
What's great about it: The imagination it took to make this movie.
What's not so great: Nothing!
