Cons: None....

Memento (2000) Directed by Christopher NolanNatalie: What's the last thing that you do remember? Leonard Shelby: My wife... Natalie: That's sweet. Leonard Shelby: ...dying.Take a two hundred ...

Pros: The most intelligent of a wave of high-concept movies around this generation's penultimate theme.
Cons: The mindless will be baffled.

To be honest, I'm not going to give a review of the technical aspects of this film.  If you are interested in reading such, I'm sure there's about 200 of them available on this site.Though it was not the first, Chris Nolan's Memento became a ...

Pros: Interesting story progression, engaging presentation
Cons: A little too ambiguous on some points

Memento is one of those movies you can't watch if you're in the mood for mindless entertainment. Memento requires an investment of attention and thought which can be good or bad depending on what you want. It also has one of those endings that is open ...

Pros: Brilliant and innovative film making, screenplay, acting
Cons: Nothing that I can remember

Christopher Nolan may be one of the most talented guys working in Hollywood today. He took back the Batman series and restored its credibility with Batman Begins. His brilliant film, the Prestige was one of the best things to come out of 2006 but Memento ...

Pros: It's a very unique and interesting and thought provoking film.
Cons: If you don't like films that make you think, then stay away.

Memento has quickly become one of my personal favorite films of all time. It's a mystery caper and a thriller and a bit of film noir roled into one. It's different. It's unique. Let me begin at the beginning; Leonard (don't ...

Pros: Excellent camera angles, camera shots, and Guy Pearce's fantastic voice.
Cons: Extremely hard to follow and very confusing. there are too many flashbacks.

‘Memento’, directed and written by relative newcomer Christopher Nolan is a linear, conventional, extraordinary, but extremely confusing motion picture, which differs tremendously from the average cinema verve, as the whole movie is literally played ...

Pros: Incredible acting, Excellent concept, Interesting characters, A lot of good bonuses on DVD
Cons: It's going to take real study to figure out the whole truth

Guy Pearce is an actor whose day came and went rather quickly, it seems. He was robbed of his rightful top billing in "L.A. Confidential" (reviewed at: ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 39223398020 ) because he lacked ...

Pros: Clever movie, makes you think
Cons: Some cliches present

From the beginning of the movie, you are puzzled, trying to figure out what the intrigue is. Until you realise that the movie is backwards, you are in the dark about the characters or the action presented to you. Indeed, if the movie wasn't presented ...

Pros: Novel direction
Cons: Guy Pearce, Story

Memento (2000) Did you ever have a memory so bad you repressed it? - and when you repressed it, it took so much effort that it fried your brain? Well, that’s the idea I got out of Memento, a film by Christopher Nolan (...

Pros: brilliant writing, powerful direction, cinematography that goes for realism, amazing performances
Cons: violent, challenging, a bit talky, full of profanity, not for children or the squeamish

People either love or hate Memento - with its plunge into despair, its backwards plot, its hateful characters and its combination of F-bombs, moments of carnage and cinematography that chose realism over style. Although two of its characters are best ...

Pros: Absorbing thriller; lead actor totally believable
Cons: Slow start, but nothing major

Concept Imagine not being able to remember what happened 15 minutes ago, while at the same time being able to conjure up memories from years ago. That's the concept behind Memento, a film starring Guy Pearce as Leonard, a man whose last ...

Pros: Original story told in an excellent way.
Cons: --

I remember when I first read about Memento. I was immediately intrigued and desired to see the film. However, I didn't know of a good art theater near my school in Ohio at the time, so I had to wait. And during my waiting, the film became ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

Leonard Shelby has no short-term memory. This isn’t the same thing as amnesia, as he points out. There is a term for it, which ironically escapes me at the moment. Leonard knows who he is. He can remember everything before the traumatic event that ...

Pros: Greatest Movie ever made. Honestly. No movie has ever come forth with such profound understanding.
Cons: Very complex to unravel. Although I beileve once solved, will be very simple.

Dear Epinions I read your review, thought I would send you this. I sent also this to Andy Klien at Salon, the review website. The first part is etymology of the names. The second part is just my speculation. After watching the movie a few times, I ...

Pros: Structure is cool, Pearce.
Cons: Moss's acting...

Oddly enough, in writing a review for Memento, a movie which has memory playing into a large part, I can't remember that much of it. I only saw it a few days ago, and with movies that I like, I generally have several fresh images in my head of the ...
