This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.<br /><br /></div>

I fell asleep at the beginning, Becky fell asleep for the first half hour, and when I woke up I was so bored I had to buy some popcorn to keep myself engaged.<br />
<br />
Then about half way through the movie, it got better. It just wasn't working at the beginning and it made you think, maybe one time was enough. Then the end comes and you feel glad you hung in there because this movie ends well.<br />
<br />
In particular the design of the credits was amazing.<br />

Honestly, I probably don't know enough about comic books to fully appreciate, or understand what was going on at times. I was a little confused, but I really enjoyed the movie, and the movie premise.

It's not that this movie was good, it was that it was outrageously and ridiculously good. Kicking myself for taking so long to see it. I'm not a big super hero fan, and an animated super hero movie didn't seem like my cup of tea.<br />
<br />
However! It was awesome. It was so smart, so clever and so funny! If I told you the plot you would think they were definitely jumping sharks, but it didn't feel that way at all. It was so well written, so well designed.<br />
<br />
The animation was out of this world good. Beautiful artistry, and the way the infused classic comic book art was perfectly executed. The acting was great and the music was incredible as well.<br />

OK<br />

I found this movie to be very uneven. There were times is was fascinating, times it was boring, times it was informative, and times I didn't understand what was going on, or why it was relevant. It was funny and clever at times but that made it more about the filmakers than it was about the story. Maybe I'm not knowledgeable enough about politics to understand.<br />

Hi I'm back. I got a subscription with AMC to see basically all the movies I want for $20 a month. I'm excited to see new movies and write about them. We'll see how long this lasts!<br />

Yes it is the same movie Liam Neeson has made like 10 times, but that doesn't mean it's not fun to watch. I mean really, Liam Neeson could read the phone book 10 times and he would still sound B.A. "Run All Night" is an entertaining movie with great performances by Neeson and Apollo 13 guy.<br />
<br />
Not Tom Hanks<br />
<br />
No not Kevin Bacon<br />
<br />
Come on of course I'm not talking about Bill Paxton I'm talking about Ed Harris. Harris plays a bad guy...<br />
<br />
Yes I know how he was a good guy in Apollo 13 but in this movie he's a bad guy...<br />
<br />
I don't know if he's ever played a bad guy before I haven't seen every one of Ed Harris's movies, I don't think anyone has...<br />
<br />
Well I guess he played the bad guy well, he was sort of a good bad guy...<br />
<br />
Can we stop talking about Ed Harris he dies in the movie anyway...<br />
<br />
No that's not a spoiler, in what action movie does the bad guy not die...<br />

It was really good with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">outrageously</span> good performances by the annoying kid and even more so by Sandra Bullock.

The pace of the script wasn't smooth either. Not that every thing needs to be in chronological order but the picture has to have it's own <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">uninterrupted</span> rhythm. It didn't flow, it felt jerky.<br /><br />After an hour I really started pulling for all the characters, where as the first half I wished it was them who had died. That's quite a turn around in a few minutes. (Hence two different reviews) I suppose it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">could</span> have been that the pain of the first half caused me to feel empathy for the kid and his family in the second half, but I doubt it.

Becky is a big fan of Janet Evanovich and was super psyched to see this movie (She's hoping for 17 sequals). She was pleased with the casting and performance of all the main characters with the exception of Ranger, who she liked but just didn't live up to her mental image. "Ranger needs more presence" In any case I really enjoyed the movie because it pleased my wife. Her enthusuasm for the characters and the story was infectious. Multiple times over the evening I asked her "Are they getting it right?" and every time she said yes. To see her happy and satisfied made me happy and satidfied.<br /><br />Without Becky's interest I would have never have seen the movie. Becky even said that as a movie alone she would not have gone to see it either. That's probably true for 99% of the people who went to see it. It is loved only because it appeared in book form first. If it stood on its own, noone would have gone to see it.Jonathan S.
