Visionary, the movie is flawless, unless you try to look at it from a moral perspective. Then, the choices of the complex characters could fuel a thesis paper.

This is filmmaking on a grand level. It lacks the heart of Spartacus, but still is a rousing spectacle with a heroic story arc.

I will strive to avoid cooking metaphors here, it would just be too easy. Very enjoyable and cleverly imaginative. This might just be the third best Pixar movie, after The Incredibles and Toy Story. I laughed the most at the old lady and her shotgun and the short "Lifted."

Now _this_ I can understand why people call a classic. "What do I have to do, draw you a picture?!" Nope, what we don't see imprints itself on the mind just as much as the gorgeous landscapes and the conflicted characters. Will this movie ever be forgotten? "That'll be the day."

There are times when the camera work or the CGI just don't mesh well with such a regal tale, but the opulence of the sets and costumes and the well-written story pulled me in. A noble effort at crafting a tradedy. Visually, this is exactly what you expect from Zhang Yimou.

Il Postino and Cinema Paradiso share several similar elements, but I feel this movie's love letter to poetry is more convincing than Paradiso's tribute to movies. In addition, the writing is more wry and the characters are more relatable.

This is an important documentary, though it is not as well constructed as others. It makes you realize how much we have to be thankful for.

You would think "precious bodily fluids" would only be funny once, maybe twice, but it got snickers every time and epitomized the absurdity of the whole situation. Is it one of the best comedies ever? It's a smart script, but great comedies call for more than 10 chuckles. It is however, one of the best opening credit sequences ever.

Peaceful in its simplicity, grounded by a fervent and capable performance from the lead actress. I am curious to see the 1986 French film on her life, since everyone says it is superior.

Incredibly hilarious and horribly inappropriate. There's a great deal of genius in this movie, but there's also a whole lot of wrong. I feel guilty having this and "Therese" on the same list.

I can see why this movie has nostalgia value; the premise is interesting (and was subsequently ripped off for the series "The 4400"). But the child actor's performance is one of the most painful in memory and Paul Reubens is equally painful as robot Max. Only Robin Williams could have been more annoying.

I'm concerned about myself. I am starting to get very sleepy halfways through movies. This one starts off slow and subtle and would be easy to write off, but the rescue scene alone makes this movie worthwhile. And really, how many filmmakers are shooting movies about marine biologists? Kudos for trying something different.

Sure, it's undeniably funny, but I can't recall a movie I raised my eyebrows or slapped my forehead more during because it is just so unbelievable that somebody would go so far over the line. If two men running naked through a hotel is the comedy hit of 2007, what sort of things will we be seeing ten years from now?

Overall, the quirkiness of "Stranger than Fiction" makes for an enjoyable stroll, though I felt the relationships formed were often inexplicable. It's not a good sign when a wristwatch is my favorite character.

A marginally decent family film, but I certainly wouldn't watch it again without a kid in the room. Osment's ham-handed performance makes a convincing argument as to why child actors should not be elligible for Oscar nominations, showing his genius in "Sixth Sense" had to be a fluke.

There were two directors, and it showed in this uneven film. Director 1 pumped in adrenaline and gritty realism, while Director 2 thought the movie needed more heart and tacked on things superflous to the Paralympics story.

I think it had a lot of potential, but it's not handled with any amount of tenderness and seems to be written by a 14 year old boy at times, squandering what charm it does have. People getting hit with a bat IS funny though.

After a lot of discussion, my wife and I figured out why this movie is just OK. It treats the romance more as an attraction than a relationship. With all the great romantic comedies, you feel the two leads are a match, that they compliment eachother. That's not the case with these two, you just like the characters separately, but the only reason they belong together is because we're told they do.

I have officially reached the point where it takes me 3 nights to make it through a long movie. Maybe that is to blame, but I was not impressed by this. Another case of "Why make this movie?" It just shows the further downward spiral of corruption. I think that point was already made well by the first movie.

One of the most distressingly tasteless, alarmingly crude and shamelessly unoriginal movies I've ever seen. Why was this awarded Best Picture? It is an exact replica of Infernal Affairs! This movie offends and annoys me on so many levels.
