Memento

Pros: Mind numbingly complex with riddles thrown at you from every turn, film-noir upside down.
Cons: Potential loose ends might exist & they might not, tantalizing or annoying, you decide.

-SPOILER WARNING-
I must begin with a word of warning to those who have yet to see Memento... this review is intended as an extended dissection - an exegesis if you will - of Memento, its themes and its potential meanings....

Pros: great picture and sound, wonderful features
Cons: that menu could get old, fast.

Christopher Nolan's Memento is a complex and unforgettable story about Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man with a rare brain injury that prevents him from converting recent experiences into long-term memory. As he searches for his wife's killer, Leonard...

Pros: Cornfusin', puzzlin', and I forgit wot else I liked
Cons: Starts at the end and kinda mooves backards

Wull, I ben gone a while into the inner parts of Mike.Holmes brane but after he saw this here moovie he kinda figgered that I cood rite about it 'cause I reely don't have no memory at all much less a short term one.

Mike.Holmes also chickuned...

Pros: An awesome, thought provoking movie. I LOVED it!
Cons: There are some questions left unanswered.

This movie is one of my favorites. It is about a man who has no short term memory. All he knows is that his wife was murdered and he wants to find the culprit. He goes through lies, deciet, and self doubt to end up in a huge mess. And then he doesnt...

Pros: Thought provoking, intense, unique storyline, great film noir
Cons: Disjointed, some storylines felt incomplete

Memento: Function: noun : Inflected Form(s): plural -tos or -toes: Etymology: Middle English, from Latin, remember, imperative of meminisse to remember; Date: 1580 : def - something that serves to warn or remind; also :...

Pros: Intricate Plot, Twists and Turns, Fast Action plus Mind consuming, Surprise ending.
Cons: Complicated Plot can leave viewer confused after movie.

Many movies have tried to reach a point in the movie where it can completely baffel and audience, and shock them with an ending so bizarre and unexpected, everyone loves it, and no one saw it comming. Memento is one of the few movies i have seen that...

Pros: clever, unlike anything you've ever seen
Cons: nothing

memento is one of the cleverest movies ive ever seen. ive seen it 6 times and everytime i see it i learn something new about the characters. i love the way the movie is played backwards and forwards through black and white and color. it keeps you...

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: original, makes you think, cast, directing
Cons: not for the lazy moviegoer

Christopher Nolan has so far formulated a nice resume for himself. Insomnia proved that he has what it takes to be a successful mainstream director. But Memento is what got Nolan's name out on the front page. It wasn't a major motion picture, but...

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: Wow! A unique movie that actually pays off in the end.
Cons: Very intellectual - don't blink or try to get up for popcorn.

I am a movie fanatic, but when it comes to the offerings the studios have presented us with this year, I find myself sorely disappointed. I feel that there is a sad thing happening in film today, an underestimation of the audience's intelligence, a fear...

Pros: Very impressive direction, production, and very mind-bending story.
Cons: If you are not ready to figure this one out, you'll miss the whole thing.

I finally got out to see Memento last night, and it did not disappoint. I hate giving spoilers and endings and even plot, so I will give you general thoughts about the film.
As opposed to what is churned out by Hollywood most of the time, Memento...

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: 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: STUNNINGLY WELL WRITTEN. A dazzling film!
Cons: If you get easily confused by strange plot lines its not for you.

The film starts at the end with a murder. The film then runs chronologically backwards in ten minute ...
