Memento

Pros: Intelligent, Startling, and Engrossing.
Cons: Hmmm, I wouldn't want to say anything bad about it.

This was an outstanding movie! I do not usually pay to see movies once, let alone twice, but I would see this one again in the theaters.
If you are considering seeing this movie, be sure to go in with an open mind. Expect not to understand what is...

Pros: High art in movies, good concept.
Cons: over use of a good concept that never pays off.

Memento is a movie that has at its heart a great concept. However, this is not a concept that has not been used before. I do give the film credit for trying as hard as it did to do something different. Some people might call the film hard to...

Pros: Good long movie
Cons: mind boggling

I went to see this movie when there was nothing good playing in the theaters. When the lights went off and I settled down in my chair I was ready to be entertained by this film. At first I remembered asking the ticket teller what it was about she grinned...

Pros: Original plot, imaginative.
Cons: A little confusing until you get used to the sequencing.

Guy Pearce (Rules of Engagement, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) is a man on a mission.He seeks to avenge the death of his wife. It sounds like a simple enough plot, but there is a difference. Pearce's character, Leonard, suffers from an acquired illness...

Pros: Very intelligent, and with more twists than a dutch pretzel.
Cons: You must be in the mood to think,not just see a senseless flick.

When my girlfriend wanted to see this movie, I had absolutely no clue what it was about. We went, and luckily I was in the mood to think at the time. It starts off confusing, but you will pick up on the idea soon enough if you are paying attention. There...

Pros: Well-acted, engaging, suspenseful, and thoroughly entertaining.
Cons: Many questions left unanswered, rather hasty ending.

I'm not one to see many movies in the theatre, but I had heard so many different things about this movie, I simply couldn't wait for the video. It was not, in my opinion, a disappointment. The story essentially goes backwards, starting with "the murder"...

Pros: Original, requires and grabs your complete attention
Cons: none

This film uses two gimmicks to draw you in.

The first is the hero's(?) inability to create new memories. This has been used a number of times in previous films to less than stellar ends. In this film it works wonderfully.

The...

Pros: Enthralling use of backwards storytelling.
Cons: Confusing if you happen to miss any of the movie.

This movie has you going from the moment it starts. It throws you right into the middle of the plot and you are left to figure out who done it. The cast played each role superbly right down to the most insignificant part. Guy Pearce should be commended...

Pros: film-making at it's best
Cons: average movie-goer will not get it

WOW...
This is the best movie no-one has seen. I think the first scenes shown during the opening credits were some of the coolest I've seen in a long while. Very good use of clever editing with a good, twisty, and above all interesting script. I...

Pros: I've never seen a movie like this before!
Cons: It was a little hard to follow.

I saw this movie advertised at a local theater and hadn't seen any previews or heard about it. I looked it up on the internet and it looked really interesting so I went to go see this movie knowing little about it. I am so glad that I went because it...

Pros: WOW!!!
Cons: none

Well, it isn't often anymore than a good movie comes out. With the Blockbuster flops that come out every two days now there doesn't seem to be much of a rush for the theaters. And who can blame them. Bad acting, outrageous prices, and stale candy....

Pros: suspensefull,great story, directing, keepys you on the edge of your seat
Cons: confused at first but everything comes together in due time.

this film is great in many ways other than the story. The movie goes backwards in time explaining what had just happened and later why. The way the movie was directed was great the plot was solid and i like how many scenes were in black and whit to depict imporant events. the film keeps you glued to your seat asking for more and more. Christopher Nolan did a great job on this as he did on the 2 new batman films he directed (Batman Begins and Dark Knight). THe cast is relatively small and not too recognizable but that also makes the movie better not expecting too much. I say go out and watch this movie or buy it because you will eventually after first viewing.
