I saw it, I dug it. It's stupid to compare movies to books,
that's what you'd call comparing apples and oranges. In
general, when you try to tell a story originally written in
a 300+ page novel and tell it in a 2 hour movie, of course
it's not going to cover everything.

I only liked it for the neat eye-candy. I'm a sucker for
futuristic stuff.

i loved it, best film i've seen since mulholland drive.

Can't understand most of the negative comments here on it, i
thought it was a dark almost alternative film compare to
most "blockbusters" but i guess it's cool to bash successful
films.

and Tom Cruise is shit? oh another "cool" thing to say...

Haha Minority Report from Philip K. Dick is actually a short
novel with 54 pages. :-) And it is actually mainly action,
very brief.

Spielberg added a lot of crap to the storyline.

well, there were pointless scenes in there.. I thought the
old milk/sandwich thing was extremely stupid - not funny,
but trying to be. WRONG!

also, everything gets explained to DEATH (although, what
should you expect from a hollywood blockbuster) - the whole
thing with Cruise on the telephone in the ending - WE GET IT
ALREADY!

finally, the ending. AAAARGH! crapcrapcrap.

that said, I quite enjoyed it. liked the philosophical
implications of a precrime system. I did think the Agatha
actress was pretty good.

I was actually most surprised by John Williams' music - he
uses electronics! MY GOD!

I don't think Cruise was that good, but he wasn't bad
either.

best thing he's done must be "magnolia".

that about summarises all american blockbusters of the last
100 years:

"are they still so bad and vomitting??"

yes, glass_eater. yes.
they are getting badder and more vomiting with alarming
speed.

a terrible shambles.
