Very dark and gripping. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

Interesting concept; poorly executed.

Wow, real life personified......Not at all a fantasy. I was enveloped from the moment it began to the moment it ended. Enthralling and so far reaching
into human emotion......Anyone who has gone through intense grief will
relate to this movie whether they be gay or straight. Magical.

Interesting. Good performances by Cruz and Kingsley, but ultimately failed to produce the goods.

Brilliant. Well deserving of Acadamy Award for best film.
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
I hope this is the end of the series. Although this was better than the 2nd and Rush and Depp saved the day (yet again), there was a failure to bring anything new and vitalising to the film.

Beautifully portrayed.....not for action movie fans. How could anyone who is interested in life, say this film is boring?
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
This overly long film could have been brilliant. The lines blurred between 'black comedy' and a send up of the American 'shoot-em-up, blow-em-up' movies. One or the other would have sufficed. It became too OTT for me. Better luck next time.

Excellent performances by the main players in a very disturbing and emotionally fraught movie.

It's good to see a little more reality and less fantasy in this script.
(Worth watching) - review by Dianne
The sub-titles were corny and amusing, very Americanised. A reasonably good watch, story predictable, some very good special effect scenes at the end.

Typical American blow everything up in sight movie. A bit of escapist fun.

For a film which was made in the late '80's, this one is amazing. Very interesting and thought provoking story.

Well acted and produced movie which made the content seem very real. Thought provoking and a sad look at the era the movie portrayed.
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
Three words. Dreary, dreary, dreary.
(Don't bother!) - review by Dianne
Just wonderful. Johnny Depp at his versatile best and the oompah loompah songs were brilliant. Tim Burton in full flight.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Dianne
Ho hum. Had potential. The script was probably rewritten once too often. Certainly missed the mark.
(Maybe) - review by Dianne
The review for this movie is so removed from the plot it is ludicrous. Trashy B grade movie - laughable.

If you watch it with a "fair and balanced" attitude, you will glean a lot of insight from this docco.
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
Even though this film was quite long, almost 3 hours, it kept my attention at all times. Although it was very "Hollywood" in many aspects, it was also a little different than most epics and I enjoyed it for what it was - entertainment.

You need to have seen 'Meet The Parents' to understand the absurd follow up hilarity of this movie. Pretty predictable but a reasonably good watch.

It was an absorbing adventure which nearly made the grade, but not quite. Emminently watchable though.
(Worth watching) - review by Dianne
This movie is good for the soul.
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin worked well together in this movie to provide some absolutely hilarious moments. The ending was quite predictable, but hey, who cares?
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
This was a sophisticated, yet whimsical movie which provided some very amusing moments.
(Worth watching) - review by Dianne
If you can accept this movie is meant to be OTT then you will enjoy it. The language is definitely full on. Once you get past it (or switch off)the movie is funny. Billy Bob plays the part well.

Gets you thinking about how we are going to bring about "peace on earth" doesn't it? Not with guns, that's for sure. Brilliant movie.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Dianne
Great film from start to finish. Eric Bana distinquished himself and Peter O'Toole gave a moving performance. Blockbuster status.
(Excellent) - review by Dianne
Pure fantasy and fun, discounting Halle's mediocre action. Sharon Stone certainly made up for Halle's lack. Loved the high tech. special effects and surreal surroundings. Well set up for the inevitable sequel. Good fun
