Yup, they all have happy endings!
Best ending I've seen is from American Beauty!
Sad and happy at the same time!
Genius!

i saw it, it was really good, just a bit drawn out and a needless amount of twists, but very entertaining.

I could name 3 points in that film where it should have ended but it just kept going and going and going etc.....

Haven't seen MR yet, but it beat Lilo&Stitch by only a little under half million over the weekend. Doesn't sound like a blockbuster.

Its due out here on 4th July *cough cough my birthday cough cough* and so there have been some longer newer clips shown on TV and I've gotta say that some of the CGI looks a little err funny.

The movie has allready gotten in to the www.imdb.com top 250 movies.
Maybe I see it after all.
(I think there are too many "new" films on the top 250 anyway!!!!)

really enjoyed the movie, Tom Cruise was good so was Colin Farrell (he replaced Matt Damon who was busy with "The Bourne Identity")
The movie has some very tense moments and some excellent directing, and some really funny moments.
Spielberg actually shot the whole movie in a blue tint trying to achieve a more different look, and the research behind the movie does make it believable future.
A lads day out rating 8.1/10

This movie kicked ass, seriously, but i fyou don't like sci- fi movies don't go see this one. Tom Cruise was excellent even though I don't care too much for him in other movies. I wasn't going to see it, but I wanted to know what all of the hype was about so I finally saw it. It was great!!

Mediocre?
i thought it was incredible....thought the plot could have used some clarification. the 'surprise ending' was a little too big of surprise...there was plenty of room in that movie for spielburg to insert some foreshadowing.

Minority Report
I haven't read the book, so this may be explained in it, but not the movie.
The entire basis of the movie is that Lamar Burgess, the director of Pre-Crime, was able to get away with murder by hiring a junkie to kill Agatha's (a pre-cog) mother. The crime was predicted and prevented. Lamar then conducted the murder in the exact same manner as it was predicted before. Only this time, the people monitoring "the temple" thought it was an echo, a pre-cog flashback, and ignored it. Thus, Burgess got away with murder.
Now, when a murder is commited, or about to be commited, those weird machines carve out the wooden balls with the name of the murderer and the victim. When the first attempted murder of Agatha's mother was predicted, those balls would have had Agatha's mother's name as the victim, and the name of the junkie as the murderer. But, when Burgess commited the same act in the same manner, shouldn't the victim ball be the same, but the murderer ball say Lamar Burgess? Allowing the people monitoring "the temple" to know that this is a completely different murder.
I'm assuming that echos would not have the machines carve out the balls. Or maybe, I'm wrong, and it takes the appoval of the staff monitoring "the temple" to have the names carved out, but the movie made no such attempt so show this.
Any idea, comment, or critisisms are welcome
