Summary: Not only a waste, but toxic waste.
Review: In the wake of the Littleton and Ft. Worth shootings, I decided to finally see this movie (Yes I like Woody Harrelson a lot) and decide for myself if those who were blaming this and other violent "works of art" for the current culture of murder and mayhem were completely off base or somewhere in the ballpark. Sure it is satire, but does Stone seriously believe that every 13 to 18 year old in the country who will see this movie appreciates this fact. The hero of this piece is clearly Harrelson's character Mickey. A serial killer who blames his genes, his childhood, and everything and everyone but himself for the murders he does. All the police in the movie are either sadistic, corrupt, or stupid, giving Mickey even further excuses. Oliver Stone, who is now apparently morally as well as artistically bankrupt, would fit right in at the prison for the criminally insane which his movie depicts. If you believe, as I do, that a person becomes what he or she thinks about every day, keep this and all other Stone movies out of reach of children, especially your own children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" is a slap on America's face. It portrays our fascination with violence and today's society. It is not so much about violence, but about how today's society embraces violence. This of course, means we are going down a dark road. Maybe somtimes Littleon Colorados are needed to wake us up. The same can be said about Oliver Stone's amazing, thrilling, and powerful film. There isn't as much violence as we think there is. It's the intense feeling of the movie. "Natural Born Killers" is an intense study of the 90's national sport: Crime. Those who call it too violent don't see the message, only the gore. This is, a masterpiece in filmmaking.

Summary: Pure adulterated garbage! - zero stars
Review: If you like cleaning garbage cans, you'll love it! I couldn't even finish it completely, just gave up on it finally. I did not see a point to this movie, and the plot seemed to be just how much violence and depravity they could show. Makes me wonder about the sanity of the director. Maybe that's the way he sees "hell". Fuggedaboudit!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: GLORY, GLORY VIOLENT CULTURE
Review: Well...what can we learn from NBK??? It sends the same massage as 13th Friday(and its countless sequels),though people try to make it look like intelligent movie with philosophy behind blood and gore or whatever---it just never works.In the hope of finding a voice against our violent society,unlike what Oliver Stone claimed,NBK is the worst attempt ever made.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gripping, provacative, and wickedly funny!
Review: In my opinion, this masterpiece is Oliver Stone's absolute best piece of work over even the great "Platoon." It is filmed beautifully and Woody Harrleson, Juliet Levis, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Siezmore all turn in riveting and darkly funny performances. This is a must see for fans of gritty, controversial works. I will even go as far to say that this is the most controversial movie of all time. A masterpiece with a message. Superb!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stupid movie
Review: This movie is a prime example of the intellectual bankruptcy of the 'Arts Community'. Faced with a movie that is a amateurish, overly-violent and pointless, the artsy types have gone overboard finding 'significance' and 'meaning' to this cinematic abortion. Too bad 'zero stars' is not an option. Oliver Stone is one of the most politcally motivated and dishonest movie producers in history. This movie belongs in the landfill.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it was definitly a great movie.
Review: every movie with woody harelson in it gives me the chills hes got talent but i would have to say this was one of his best movies he puts so much effort into it.he is one of my favorite actors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The movie is misunderstood. The real mesage is very powerful
Review: The movie kept me entertained through the whole thing. My eyes were glued to the T.V. screen the entire time. But the average viewer would make mistakes about this movie. See the movie isnt about blood, guts, and gore what everyone says its about. "its just a sensless gore fest!" NO IT IS NOT!!!! What the movie is really about is who the media really controlls and makes people superstars. It is a tremendous film, Stones best work since is Platoon and Scarface!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Long, boring violence with no plot
Review: This film stole three hours of my life.

The plot is simple; Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis (two extremely talented people, I might add)go on a shooting rampage. When I watched this film I had the feeling that we were supposed to like the main characters, but there's something about gun-wielding maniacs that makes me feel uncomfortable. The fact is that I didn't care one way or another about what happened to them, I just wanted to get the damn movie over with.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Its only a movie
Review: I shouldn't be surprised, but it is very notivable that the people who hate this movie seem incapable of differentiating between fantasy and reality.

This film is about America's obsession with real-life violence, and the underlying message of it is that no matter how grisly and bloody Stone can make it, its still Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, blank shells and fake blood! Compared to the cult of celebrity attached to real killers and the obsession with seeing 'reality TV - the bloodier and more 'shocking' the better, a mere movie is nothing.
