Shutter Island review.

I just watched the movie and i only give it a 5/10, the first hour was good but it fell apart after that, just wondering what others thought of it.

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"]Great stuff. Atmosphere is effective. Acting is great. The last line solidified what I previous thought as a really good film to a great film. 8/10wolverine4262

I expected better from Scorsese

Also, the dream sequences were incredible. The highlights of the film for me were those sequences and that scene at the lake.sammyjenkis898

A solid thriller... great atmosphere and top notch acting. Also I saw it at the cinema, I think that added to the overall tension of the film. 8/10.

i'd give it a 7.5-8.5/10...i enjoyed i thoroughly..

"Which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?"

havent seen it yet. im gonna wait till its on MOD.

me and the wife saw it at the theater and i just picked it up yesterday on blu ray. amazing movie, scorsese can do no wrong. 8.5/10

i highly disagree its a good movie

I'd give it 7/10. I guessed the ending like halfway through the movie. I thought the last line in the movie was really good.

Absolutely woeful. Pretty much the worst movie I went to watch in a cinema since like... deuce bigalow european gigolo

I enjoyed the movie a lot, definitely an 8/10 in my mind. I will admit that the book is better, but that is my opinion of course. It is surprising how closly Scorsese followed the book

Guessing the 'twist' doesn't invalidate the rest of the film. It's a great psychological thriller. t3hrubikscube

Agreed. It's Martin Scorsese, not M. Night Shyamalan.

I thought the same when I first saw it, but upon a repeated viewing, I came to a new conclusion. This movie is a masterpiece.

SPOILERS AHEAD (sorry, can't do spoiler tags for some reason):

Like I said, during my first viewing I was able to see the twist coming miles ahead, from around the 1 hour mark, and it didn't seem like a good tiwst at all. To me, it almost seemed cliche to go with the "he was crazy all along thing". Its almost as bad as the "it was all a dream" cliche.

However, I now realize that this twist wasn't a twist at all. It was a fake twist that Scorsese put there to confuse us, just like the doctors at Shutter Island were trying to confuse Teddy.

It was real, and Shutter Island was a real evil place where they did all those experiments. The last line is proof that Teddy was not crazy.

I've been wanting to see this pretty badly for a while now. I think I might check it out in the next couple days :D

I loved it, the best film of the year so far for me.

I loved it. Only good movie i've watched this year (so far)

By the way...I like how a whole bunch of people talka bout the "twist" as if it had any true bearing on the film. There's no true and definite answer to what really happened during the story and the people that think toherwise did not examine it well.

Great movie

That is not much of a review TC. I however really enjoyed the movie and did not I did expect the twist. The musical score was excellent and I thought Leo did a terrific job. 8.5 out of 10.
