I can't really be the only one who just loved this movie. It was comedic, historic, and had some excitement. The idea was clever to make the movie as well. It interests me even more that the entire ending had to change because Osama was killed half way through the production. It had some moments of irritation with some of the characters not being completely compliant, but would you listen to some guy you just met in a nation that is trying to murder you? Overall, the movie was a 3.5/5 stars. It was good but not memorable.
I saw it and liked it. I thought it was good, but it wasn't great. The premise was good, but overall it just wasn't that interesting of a film. I enjoyed it nonetheless (if only for the historical aspect.)
It's been a while since I'd seen it, but I really loved the movie. The throw backs to all the films that came out during that time as well as using the classic Warner Brothers logo just added to my fun. It did have its fails, but they're not greater than it's accomplishments. I would call it the best directed film I saw this year and Alan Arkin deserves every award is given to him.
I really want to see this movie, it looks awesome. I just have to wait for it to come to DVD. oh well
Well I just saw it (finally!), and thought it was very good, not to mention it was highly enjoyable for a big expert on Middle Eastern politics like myself.
I found it a great movie... than again, it felt like the "idea, the event in the real life was so crazy and genius that it was as if the movie directed itself".. not that there weren't good characters and stuff , but I got more suprised that someone really pulled that of. But surely it was a great movie in comparison with the others in its genere like "The darkest hour" and that previous one fighting terror... "The darkest hour" was a meiocre film, almost bad.. the good thing about it was the polemic (everyone knows that they used torture, but pretend there wasn't, and they didn't even show torture under Obama's regime so not much polemic), and the thing that "OMG FINALLY OSAMA is DEAD >_<!" , but the entrantaiment was terrible, If you want to be amazed seeing something like this, go watch HOMELAND that is WAAAAY better.
I really have to disagree with you on Zero Dark Thirty (you got the title wrong -__-). I honestly thought that movie was just as good as Argo. While it didn't have the entertainment that Argo offered (ex. entire last hour of Argo), I really thought Zero Dark Thirty excelled almost every other movie this year in terms of performances, even Argo (if you count out Alan Arkin that is).
I was at the edge of my seat, literally. XD I found it really good, waay more memorable than many other films. You really just can't help but get carried along with the story and root for the team to get out. It was one of last year's best for me and yeah the historical elements just added to the movie's flare.
Sorry the title came here as "A hora mais escura" i just translated , I did'nt search for the real title, my mistake.
That's the same exact way I felt. Argo was definitely one of those kinds of movies that have that effect
Yep. The whole movie Spoiler pretty much built up to that moment on the plane, so I fell for the suspense hook line and sinker.
I wasn't. The reason that things leave you on the edge of your seat is, as everyone knows, the anticipation to find out the outcome, but since Argo is based on a true story, and we know the people survived, it kills the feeling of suspense and anticipation (for me) and that really hurt the way I received the movie because the whole time I knew there was very little possibility that something bad would happen to one of the characters, or that the movie would end on a negative note unless the movie took liberties of it's own.
Quite astonished that this movie won a decent amount of awards during the Oscars (I think its the Oscars, I don't watch these things only hear about them). It may have been historical, we may have known the end result, but regardless, it had all the elements of a good movie and that is what is expected by us in the film community.
