I've read some reviews about this film that made it sound mediocre at best, but I don't understand why. Denzel is fantastic, as always. Ryan Reynolds has definitely improved as an actor, he's not just a funny man. The supporting cast is phenomenal as well. Definitely recommend this movie.

What's great about it: Acting, Action, Cinematography
Bought this movie for $3.99 last month, not sure why it was so cheap but I'm not complaining. Great movie for the whole family, but not just for kids, it's an excellent movie for all ages to enjoy. Impressive acting by the children in the film and the cinematography was awesome as always by J.J. Abrams.
I know I'm probably in the minority, but I think A Game of Shadows was even better than the first Sherlock Holmes film. Might be because I've seen the first one too many times, either way they're both excellent.
Nobody really talked about this movie, but I don't understand why. It's an excellent film. This might just be Don Cheadle's best performance, in my opinion. I definitely think it's worth buying and seeing. Great movie.
The movie has a good plot, but it comes up flat. Should've had a better director and different actors for some of the characters. Specifically, I thought Snipes and Phillipe were bad choices for their parts. It's a decent movie, but nothing to write home about.
To be honest, I was expecting this movie to be pretty boring but it kept my interest throughout. Not a big DiCaprio or Crowe fan, but they both give remarkable performances. Ridley Scott is one of the best directors, every scene is perfect. The ending was a bit weak for my taste, but everyone has their own opinion.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie. I hadn't heard or seen a lot of reviews on this film, so I didn't know what to expect. It's not over-the-top type humor, like a Will Ferrell movie, for instance. I think it's definitely a must-see comedy.
The best thing about this movie is the acting. Ryan Phillippe gives one of his best performances and I'm not even a big fan of his. Chris Cooper is a solid bad guy and Laura Linney is excellent, as always. Good supporting cast with Dennis Haysbert, even though I wish he had a bigger role. I don't know the name of the actress that plays Phillippe's wife but she does a very good job.
I hadn't heard much about the movie before I saw it, but I was pleasantly surprised by how funny it is. Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon are great together but Owen Wilson is the reason why this movie is so good. Solid supporting cast with Michael Douglas and Seth Rogen. Buy it.
I was told that this movie was hilarious so I was looking forward to watching it, but it was a big disappointment. I like Steve Martin but even he couldn't pull off a miracle and make this movie funny. If you enjoy slapstick comedy, then this movie might provide enough laughs for you. In my opinion, it's definitely worth skipping.
