Pros: Memento is a movie that takes many twists and turns.
Cons: At times Memento can be somewhat hard to follow, but still a good movie.
Memento, a movie with amazing characters, great ideas, the best plot that I have seen years! The movie is about a man who was injured, while trying to save his wife from being raped and killed. The injury was to his head, when it was hit, from that...

Pros: Not your average flick, really makes you think
Cons: Might make you insane
You know how if someone asks you what you had for lunch yesterday it takes you five minutes to try to remember? Now imagine that happening all the time. The main character of "Memento", Leonard, has a problem with his short term memory and cannot...

Pros: Excellent acting, interesting cinematography, totally original.
Cons: Cheap ending (beginning?) took away from an already original movie.
Amid a summer full of quick cars and even more quickly produced Hollywood trash, it was definitely refreshing to see a film which attempted to do something to my knowledge never before attempted: tell the story entirely backwards!
Our hero...

Pros: what a great concept!!!!!!!!
Cons: too bad it gets fumbled
The movie structure idea is really excellent, and the acting is phenomenal, but you're built up to an amazing reveal and left high and dry.
It seems as if the director and screenwriter were too amazed with themselves and went too far, failing...

Pros: The most original and mind bending movie I have ever seen!
Cons: Trying to recover your sense of reality afterward.
Memento is without a doubt the best piece of film I have ever seen in my life! Never before has anything been so well designed and executed. The filming and editing logistics of this film alone are staggering.
The plot revolves around Leonard....

Pros: Unpredictable, dynamic, and heart-breaking.
Cons: Frustrating - but in a good way.
"Memento" is a total roller-coaster of a movie from the first snapshot to the gut kick of an ending. It's action drama at its finest, presented in a format fresh from someone's twisted nightmare. Initially the sequencing is confusing, then frustrating,...

Pros: Mind-boggling, plot twisting enigmatic film noir making of the best kind.
Cons: Can't think of any.
As a viewer of films, I always hate reviewers who divulge too many plot details and nit-pick all films to death. These individuals should be film critics and perform post-mortem analyses rather than write reviews to guide the public in their movie...

Pros: This isn't your average film. Something different, but I'll bet you'll like it.
Cons: The ending doesn't satisfy you because at that point you are ready for more.
Ever since Leonard's head injury, he has not been able to make new memories. Lost? He is too! He can remember everything up to that horrible night where two guys broke in the house where he and his wife lived. The last memory Leonard has of his wife...

Pros: This movie makes you think and analyze
Cons: If you're not in the mood, this movie may be too confusing
Memento is one of those movies where you only hear about it through word of mouth. I had seen the movie times listed in the newspaper, but didn't know what it was about. A few people told me what it was about, so I thought I'd go see it....

Pros: Wonderful directing,Great acting, innovative and interesting plot... what more could you ask for?
Cons: Perhaps confusing and uninteresting to those with short attention spans
In a year where movies such as "Battlefield Earth", "Get Carter", and "Driven" were released, its nice to have a movie with an actual plot, great script,some good actors all in one movie and a cool title. Memento is probably one of the best movies I've...

Pros: interesting story, wonderful acting, lots of twists and turns
Cons: nothing
Before you even read this review, go see the movie. Trust me on this one. You back? Good, then you can already guess the praise I have for this film.
Not only is it well acted, but it's actually a MYSTERY, something that Hollywood never...

Pros: Engages the viewer on an intellectual level.
Cons: Engages the viewer on an intellectual level.
In my opinion, there are very few films released recently that have opted to entertain the audience by engagement on both an intellectual and psychological level. If you agree, and would want to see a film that breaks the mold, then I would highly...

Pros: Thought-provoking and original from the first scene.
Cons: Ending might be weak. Or is it? Who knows with all the meddling going on.
To preface my review, it's necessary to let you know that I want to reveal very little about this movie. I went in without an inkling about what to expect, and it worked. I suggest the same for you. Stop reading reviews and see the movie.

Pros: Ingenious plot concept and "ah-ha" moments
Cons: So, who was telling the truth? Too many loose ends
Okay. Who is telling Leonard the truth? Who knows? The only time we catch someone lying is when the girl comes in from the car and says that someone beat her up. But, I stray.
Memento is very cool, but I guess I can only figure out who to...
