Memento

Pros: This movie keeps you on your toes from start to finish
Cons: You need to be prepared to invest a lot of concentration in this movie

This is one movie where the less you know about it going in, the better, so I will leave out as much detail as possible while still letting you know why you should definitely hit the theater for this one.

The film takes you back in time...

Pros: Unconventional in many ways, keeps your interest throughout.
Cons: Might hurt your head if you haven't used it in a while.

Yes, that's right. I believe this movie is worthy of an Oscar. Editing and Original Story are the first categories that come to mind, but I'm sure there are others. Everybody is saying how great this movie is, but is it Oscar material? I think so,...

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 clever
Cons: It might be confusing to some

I personally found Memento to be a very clever movie. If there were ever a way to describe what having no short term memory would be like, this movie would be it. Why did I only give it two stars. One simple reason, I was in the mood to be...

Pros: makes you think, good conversation topic
Cons: confusing, a major trip

Memento is one of the coolest movies i've ever seen. i saw it with a few friends at the theater and ...

Pros: A great movie...where you feel like your memory is being toyed with.
Cons: SEE ABOVE

When you go see a movie, you get sucked into the plot. What if the movie had no plot? Not to say the movie itself had no script or plot or ending, but what if the ending started at the beginning of the movie? What if the movie made you feel as ...

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: I guess I needed to waste some time.....
Cons: The fact that I watched this movie

After spending 113 minutes of my life watching this movie, I am still reeling. I can't believe I didn't take my husband's advice and turn it off halfway through.
The scenes are lackluster; I'm not one who needs everything explained to me but I'm...

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 ...

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: 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: original, suspenseful, great plot twists, well-acted
Cons: you have to pay attention

This is one of those movies you have to concentrate on - don't attempt it drunk or stoned. It's a bit of a
mind-f*ck while you're watching it, but you'll be rewarded at the end - a way better plot-twist than
The Sixth Sense (which was crap by...

Pros: fantastic use of cinema devices, and excellent quality original story line.
Cons: Often the use of the flashback is definatley over used.

The film is not for those who do not see regular films, although saying that, it is an amazing film and everyone should see it. But if you are a little slow on the uptake then don't see the film. From the outset momento is a thriller as it grabs...

Pros: truly riveting - you won't fall asleep during this movie!
Cons: you'll be thinking about this movie for a while!

There are twists around every corner of this movie. I have never been a big fan of independent films and I'm still not sure how I got talked into watching this, but I'm glad I did. And ever since I watched it, I've been recruiting my friends to watch it....

Pros: Lots of thrill and chill, good direction and acting
Cons: It's really only great the first time around

Lots of the opinion written here praise Memento, and rightly so. I'll let you read others praise of the directing, acting, suspense, setting, etc. It's all there and the first time you see this movie your brain will be on overdrive. It makes you think...
