Shutter Island

Saw this yesterday, what a brilliant film, I really, really enjoyed it. Brilliant story with a twist that took me by surprise!

Anyone else enjoy this? Easily the best film I've seen in a long time at the cinema.

I’ve read a couple of iffy reviews but I think they don’t like Scorsese. I’m looking forward to it.

I saw this last night and I have to say that I've never been as disappointed with a movie as much as I was with this. I won't spoil anything but I think the last trailer I saw for it showed far too much, and I guessed what was going to happen after about 20 minutes (and I'm not one to spot the twist usually) and then I just wanted it to end. It was well acted and directed but was a big let down for me.

Saw this several weeks ago and thought it was a cracking film! Loved the way it was directed, very eerie and great spooky music. Thought the twist was fairly obvious, but they did it well. Would recommend going to see it!

See this on Saturday.
Really enjoyed it.
We saw the first short trailer for it a while back and didn't think twice.
The extended trailer made us want to go and see it and we were not disappointed.
Must say that both me and the wife had "ideas" about the film before we went in and we were both almost right, so maybe a little too predictive?
But that was its only fault.

I agree it was a bit predictable from early on, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

saw it saturday, was so bored! worked out the twist within 15 mins, would like my money back!

Saw it today - wasn't looking for a twist so didn't really see it coming, and thought it was a terrific film. Dicaprio didn't seem to be at his best, but was perfectly adequate and all the supporting characters were pretty good...

Pretty predictable film I though and whilst it was decent overall I felt it was too long and did get bored during the middle of the film.

SPOILER

Did he pretend at the end?

R0B75 · 14 Mar 2010 at 22:13

I think so...hence his rhetorical question.

I found it really disappointing and I'm a huge Martin Scorsese fan

. The trailer was really deceiving in my opinion :confused:

Maybe I'm just easily pleased but I thought it was the best film that I have seen for a long long time

To all those that say they 'predicted' the ending. You predicted 0!

The ending is not what you think it was, or what you predicted at the beginning.

If you look at different clues with more attention you will see that things are very different from what was presented to you.

I will not go into details because it will spoil it for those that want to watch it. However things are not what you think, this is a movie that you need to watch twice.

Don't be so silly. What happened at the end is exactly what I expected to happen after watching about 30 minutes of the movie. How the ending came about, I didn't know until the end, but the result was exactly what I was expecting
