    this movie was way way too long. It's a cool concept but we really didn't need to see the "whole story" from cradle to grave. You could easily cut 1 hour and it would have been a better film. Man, 3 hours ... that's long!

    Magnificent. Oscar worthy. You have to have lived life to fully appreciate the complexity of this film.

    It was way too long and predictable. Yes Brad was good and the story was fun but it was really too long.

    Easily the best movie I have seen in 2008. Interesting to note that Heath Ledger has a best supporting actor nomination in the Golden Globes. If the Oscar's follow suit, it paves the way for Brad Pitt to earn himself a best actor award. This is by far his best role to date. He won't be alone on Oscar night either. Plenty of other screen performances to tempt the Oscar voters. Don't be upset if all you Brad fans don't see him with a trophy. This should take Best Picture for many reasons. If you don't take many trips to the theatre, make a point to see this movie. Brilliant!

    It was absolutely beautiful. I loved almost everything about it to be completely honest. I was unsure about Brad Pitt, but I was quite satisfied with the entire cast. This movie has been moved into my top five favourite movies.

    Don't listen to the losers that do not like this movie, my wife and I just saw it and it is a great movie and this is from a guy who hated the English patient.it needed the time to develop the story

    A cross between Forrest Gump and Titanic. Go with an open mind and it will open your heart.

    OVER- RATED some people love jumping on the band wagon. Its not a BAD movie. But honestly the plot is a little odd/creepy, too slow and long and definitely not worth the FUSS. Dont be afraid to dislike a movie that has good ratings when its BORING AND WERID.
