1. I guess the "new" look in cinematography is the herky-jerky hand held camera. Puke! 2. I'm guessing 90% of the film were head shots from the collarbone up. Puke. 3. Neil Armstrong was NOT the morose, unsmiling astronaut as depicted. He was amongst a group of chosen men that were hard living, driven, and fun loving. 4. Ryan Gosling was SO WRONG in this role. SO WRONG.

Just left the theater wondering what I just saw.

There was NO character development. I did not of cared about them. When a character did speak, they were mumbling or the effects drowned out what they were saying.

Time was artsy-fartsy jumping from night to day.

Ships that should have been loaded with humans barely had anyone standing on the rail.

Large explosions in the water with no smoke.

One character says there are 400,000 men trapped. Then a shot of the beach shows maybe 1,000. Maybe.

TERRIBLE ending.

Brannagh should have laughed this one off.

The director/writer is obviously quite full of himself.

Dunkirk will show up on "Best Of" lists. What a shame.

What a FUN movie. Beautifully shot in Bulgaria. Sure it was a LOW-budget production, sure some of the actors should have other jobs at the drive-up Dairy Queen, but hey, it was still fun.

The joker that played the sheriff was probably the weakest cast member. Pretty flat character that should have done a little more FREAKING OUT when danger was on the Jeep. Dontcha think. The rest of the cast was well suited for their parts. Especially the quirky and funny Gabriel Womack that was part McGyver, part stand up comedian. Loved his hair after the "wire-connection."

The reincarnation of a FLYING T-Rex was fabulous!!

All in all a good outing for the Sci Fi channel.

We all loved it, Gabriel!!! Missoula out....

What on earth has happened to character development in cinema? I was pretty pumped to see Inception. It looked flashy, decent actors, and what appeared to actually be a new idea for a plot (I'm REAL tired of rehashed plots).

You were thrown into the film with characters that had NO basis of who they were. I didn't have a chance to decide if I liked a character through who they were. Lead actor played his usual flat self. He reminds me of the Al Pacino school of acting graduate. I didn't care anything about him or his "team".

There were so stinkin' many visual flaws, goofs, and editing mistakes I lost count of which ones I would start with after the movie.

The best thing about this movie is that I had a free pass given to me by my boss!

I am probably way behind watching this film, but DARN I enjoyed it. Sure there were a few tiny holes here and there, but so what. The only thing I would have to say I did not like, was the short, unneeded Sam/Gustavo hookup. It didn't advance story, plot, or any sort of entertainment value. I looked back at the film and thought, "Would the outcome of the film change had that scene be left out?" NO.

Worth the price of the rental was the chance to see a TRUE actor show off his craft. Rickman's facial subtleties and body language demonstrated his over-time acceptance of this "interesting" wine country. A performance NOT to miss!!!

Seeing the movie in 3D IMAX was simply amazing. It turned an ordinary, probably not very likely to see movie, into a totally new experience. You are constantly moving your head all over the screen to try and take it all in. At one point, you felt the train was going out across the theater and stopping overhead. Audible gasps from the attending crowd were riddled throughout the screening. This is an event worth looking into. The only drawback was wearing the IMAX headgear for the feature length film. It sat fairly well on the head, but would slowly droop down to your nose. Simple paper glasses would have been a much better idea. Still, it's worth the pain. WOW!!

What a pleasure to be able to sit back, relax, and watch true MASTERS at the top of their craft. Could you forecast where things were going? Sure. Did it matter? No. The idiosyncrasies, the nuance, were amazing. 8/10

Minimal hoots, rare chortles, and infrequent smiles made 97 minutes a real yawner. James Caan was totally miscast and brought nothing to his role. Will Ferrell is a funny guy but has used up his character in previous roles. Time to move on Will....

An OK movie. Nothing fabulous except maybe for the spiders.

I was hoping for a little more depth, but the film remained in the shallow end.

Are you, too, tired of the Hogwarts setting? What's going to happen when the actors get changed?

Let's leave the fun to the two films and move on....no more.

Kept ya interested. Where was it going? Would the twists get untwisted? Or more twisty? The Coen's always provide cinema with an oblique look at our world, our mundane world, or fade-into-the-woodwork world. Thornton didn't need a lot of output in this, just some good face.

What would this movie have been like if they had hired actors?

I was pleased to see the success of the director in making a boring book into an exact copy for the big screen.

A beautiful piece of film awash in time consuming special effects.

Nice to come out of a theater with "squinty" eyes from laughing, crying, and just generally having just been entertained. Characters were developed and actually became familiar. Such a slice of our life, our country, and our psyche.

Thanks Rita for picking up on this one!!

Yes, it was pretty. Yes, I've read ALL the JRR stuff. I'm 51 years old and all the books were required reading for my set. But by the time the 90 minute mark had arrived, I either needed to get a pillow or get up and go browse Home Depot. Home Depot won.

Hard to understand much of the dialog, but THAT in itself was not the problem. In fact, I'm not quite sure what the problem was. But I was BORED TO TEARS.

The acting was grand, to be sure. New Zealand was spectacular. Liv Tyler is a looker. Incredible details on the sets. I give up.

What a yawner. I predict VERY LITTLE Academy recognition.

I apologize to all of you "junkies."

The acting was marginal. The scenes well costumed but amateurish. And after listening to 120 minutes of drumming and bellowing by the ONLY decent performance, the "narrator," I wanted to scream as if being tortured.

2 out of 10 stars!!
