Compelling history, artfully told, beautifully created. And Gerard Butler rocks!

This was Christian Bale's role that persuaded me to see anything else he is in.

What charisma, seemingly effortless. And what a loss for all movie-goers, Heath Ledger had such potential.

Gripping, wrenching, and eerie!

Yes, Vin Diesel can do more than bust heads, indeed he can act. His talent, evidenced in this role, has been underutilized.

Robert Carlyle steals the show.

This was the one that convinced me to see anything Viggo Mortensen is in.

A grown-up's fairy tale.

Ahh, what fun!

Not an obvious choice for me, being a love story usually doesn't draw me in, but there was something about the chemistry between Keira Knightly and Matthew McFadyen that is compelling. Also the musical score is a real treat. I loved the music so much I got the sheet music to play on the piano.

Best historically-derived movie ever.

Best movie about a moral awakening.

Be brave, bring an open mind.

Brad Pitt was in a whole other league, compared with Tom Cruise, but even so, the movie is effective in creating an alternative reality that is both attractive and repellant at the same time--nice tension.

Never loses its appeal.

Gripping, compelling.

Just fun. Put aside disbelief and just go with it.

In sheer visual impact this movie is stunning. The fight sequences are artful. Watch it for the beauty, not the (flimsy) plot.

Quirky, beautiful fun.

Inspiring, reaches your soul.
