It could be better than that.

It is really sad to see all these great conditions combine together, yet the resultant is not that great. Adam Sandler proves he is a very talented and sensitive actor whose acting abilities are far beyond what he presents. The story is really great ( I mean the idea), it is really very promising and ambitious. I felt excited in the first 30 min of the movie and I felt it will be a real masterpiece. It was really unique to see how humor can be mixed with this sense of noble sadness, as if you are laughing with pain. This is really fun and completely unconventional. Plus, the director is really good and creative. So why things didn't go on fine? The story of his old girlfriend and all these events of trying to getting themselves back is pretty inconvenient. They are too long and have completely missed the point. It's like it was another film has been pasted there. This plot was in bad need to a "rewrite" to be a complete masterpiece. The good news here is Sandler himself, who seems to be trying to find good deep stories to make. I wish this will appear more in his coming movies.

This is from the most touching films I have ever seen in my entire Life. Being based on a play by Ibsen, gives it a very solid coherent story, with very emotional drama. After watching the film you may feel somehow perplexed and confused, but I guess that this is intentional. You will discover new meanings about death and life, hope and grief, marriage and love. Whether you like the film or not, this scene of the dead son smiling under the water will stick in your mind and may change something inside you. If this film is Hollywoodian, I think it would take its place among best 100 films of all time. My advice: see this film whenever you find it.

Give this film another chance, it is very unlucky. The script is original and interesting. The acting is good. The cinematography and sound and visual effects are very attractive. I believe that it all depends on your mood. If you watched this film in a quiet evening after a delicious dinner and with no quarrel with your wife, you will find it highly interesting. Otherwise you may find it ridiculous, and you are the one to blame! The problem with Dracula movies is that all the ideas have nearly been consumed. It could be thought that nothing more can be told other than the other tons of Dracula movies starting from Bela Lugousi's era. This film proves the opposite. It has seen Dracula in somehow different considerable way! At least give this film the credibility of finding a tie-line between Dracula and Judas Iscariot!

First, I don't like the idea of inserting 'God' and vague religious ideas in a thriller. The Davinci code may be an exception , yet it was also not so good film. Second, What does this film (Knowing) want to say? (Knowing) what? It is a kind of (End of Days) movie where Earth had been destroyed in the end! By the way, according to the film we will all die the next October 19th. Is it about believing in God? Wow! Does Nicolage Cage have believed in God in the end just because he saw the aliens saved his child? I really don't understand what this supposed to be! And the numbers!! oh please! Why for God's sake has he picked the numbers of 911 (in the beginning) from ALL the group of numbers? and what about the numbers graved on the door?? Have i supposed to buy it? What about his reaction when he saw the aliens taking his ONLY child to God-know-where (by the way, he missed to shake hand them while leaving!!) In short, i didn't find any entertainment in this film. It has a start of a good idea but it is not complete. Except of the scenes of the plane and the metro station i felt sleepy during all the film, and of course the ending came to make me feel sick.

Oh man! well, let me say i am a Coptic orthodox. It was an odd shock for me to see those children didn't recognize a picture of Jesus Christ (not even one of them. One of them thought it is for George W. Bush!)while instantly approving on a picture of Ronald McDonald's! That is ridiculous! If it is true it will be a major American disaster! I think this important message of this film (beware of fast foods) is a priority for children in the first place. They are the future. Super Size Me is really an important vital message. For me, it makes me see fast foods in a different way. Good work. I hope media (all over the world, not only in America) aware children (especially children) of the perils of this bad 'junk' habit. I also hope media (especially in America this time) aware children about how Jesus looks like! even if they will deliver a labeled picture of Him with each McDonald's Happy Meal!

No wonder why most Americans dislike this piece of film. It talks merely about Delusion Creation and how it influences millions of people. After watching this movie i expected to see it on the IMDb top 250, but it was not there. Most reviews do concentrate on the plot technological flaws of the film and forget about the main idea. Here there is a talented director who was able to deceive millions of people not with the intention of mere deception but he was somehow obliged to do so to prove himself. Ring any bells? Yes exactly! It's all about American politics! The irony here is when he wanted to reveal his secret nobody wanted to believe him. I do not want to go through this anyway. Al Paccino was superb in his role. The film also talks about 'Art of Human Creation'. Remember the time it takes Viktor to create Simone's first picture was nine months. Also his name is of the first scientist managed to create humans in fiction. In short, this film is more profound than it seems to be. Try to give it another chance and don't stick to the floppy and the virus removal points. When the food is highly delicious it will be impolite of you to comment on the bad color of the table cover!

When i first heard about "The Last Temptation of Christ" i decided that i must see it for many reasons: First it talks about Jesus Christ who is so controversial among so many religious doctrines. Second, it talks about Jesus Christ who is the most revered by all Christians (which i'm among them). Third, it talks about Jesus Christ with a different point of view (more humane, if u like the expression). The dual nature of Jesus has been distracting people all over ages, but there is a fact that no one can deny, is that as Jesus is 100% divine, he is 100% humane as well. He is not an angel if you know what i mean. Why we suppose that he accepted to accomplish his difficult duty with a total consent and complete satisfactory? without never being hesitated or reconsidering? The gospels themselves declare that Jesus has prayed to God to "take the cup away from Him". The film has seen Jesus from this point of view, and we can accept or refuse it, but we cannot deny that it is deserved to be considered, even from the religious ones. This doesn't mean that i accept the film completely. The scenes of the young angel in the last half hour in the film (which are the scenes of the last temptation) makes me yelling, what the hell is that?! till i understand that this was the last Satan temptation that Jesus has refused it in the end and demanded to return to the moment of execution. May be these scenes which caused the audience to have a bad impression towards the film till they understand what is all about, may be because they are too long and with no hint about their truth. Beside, of course, the odd doubted relationship that the film declared between Jesus and Mary Magdaline which caused a large vexation among the religious ones, despite the disclaimer in the beginning. Finally i would like to say, that i'm a religious Christian, who accepted the concept of the film, refused some scenes, but this what good films must make; controversy and more controversy.
