ok ok .... i know all you haters will say blah blah blah blah.....blah blah....but i don't care! ya hear that! anyway
this movie MOVED me, the acting by all including mr cruise (who i'm not a fan of) was superb, the cinematography was phenominal.....it made me long for a long ago time when things were more simple....and made me appreciate the wonderful culture and traditions of a people i don't know much about.
the main japanese actor Ken Watanabe was filled with such stregth....you could feel it.
go see this movie....with an open mind!

I didn't want to read all of you text, if it contained spoilers or something,
but I really like Tom Cruise and most of the movies he's in.
I haven't seen them all, but some are even favourites of mine, like "Jerry Maguire" and "Magnolia". yeah I like him, and his acting.

Tom Cruise must be the world's dumbest guy - how many people join Scientology AND divorce Nicole Kidman in the same lifetime? - but he can be good in a movie if he's handled well - like in Eyes Wide Shut where Kubrick played him like a violin.

no spoilers at all! no worries
i try not to, i prefer people SEE the movie.....and this acting job equals his job in magnolia (what a great film) and jerry maguire. i dunno what about him i don't like, but i won't deny his acting abilities....or his nice job in this movie! i was happily surprised.

I think most viewers and critics who saw Eyes Wide Shut went in hungry for a trashfest and were disappointed to be presented with a masterpiece.

They won't for this film that's for sure. I really can't stand any of his films apart from the first mission impossible. Even then I winced every now and then. When he smiled mainly.
Jumping on the bandwagon for sword action films!

well to be honest i've heard nothing but good things about this movie. When I first heard about it i wasn't looking forward to it at all. I'm not sure why a lot of poeple don't like tom cruise, he can be an excelent actor in the right role (see magnolia).

i HAVE seen magnolia....own it on DVD...he's a good actor. but he's also a superstar of sorts and it's hard to get past that in movies. you see tom cruise, not whoever he's supposed to be.
you will really ENJOY this film, i'm glad you're giving it a chance!
man i wanna be Genghis Kahn in the worst way.....first time i ever thought, it's be a BLAST to be a man and fight like that.....hahhaha....dunno but it was lyrical watching those sword fights....i WANT ONE!!! =0)

damn you hit the nail on the head d00d. that's what i felt when i watched it. i think kubrick is laughing at all the haters right now for not getting it. (off topic: i'd like to have seen his version of A.I. before he passed.)

watanabe and the ninja battle made this movie entertaining for me. the ending was a huge disappointment, a cop out if you will. and the idea of cruise "reminding" the japanese of their traditions was condescending. i would have rather seen the watanabe characters story told without cruise present in the movie, but that would require an asian actor in a lead role, and no one in hollywood has the balls to do that.

i'm glad i don't have as cynical an eye as you......
i enjoyed the movie....whoever was on the screen, even the lil portly english gent taking pictures. each one added to the film.....i usually don't mince a good and entertaining movie up into the bits that i may not agree with.....

cynical? not to start shit, but i think hoping for the best movie i can get isn't cynical, especially when i'm paying nine bucks for it. i enjoyed this on an entertainment level, but it didn't deliver on its convictions.

i can't wait to see this movie. i've yet to hear a negative review by someone who saw it.
and for the record, i've always liked tom cruise. he has charisma. and i think he's really starting to come into his own as a dramatic actor.

I am looking forward to seeing this film... most of it was shot right here in New Zealand... The Boyfriend of an associate was the production designer....
plus I can handle Tom Cruise...more so due to Eyes Wide Shut...
