Summary: Reviewer Greg doesn't know jack.
Review: (...)It is a fantastic film created by amazingly talented people. Greg is probably into movies like Bambi and Land Before Time. Donnie Darko is clearly a movie for open minded and MATURE people who are curious about all possibilities. I hope in my lifetime I see more movies like Donnie Darko. I own the DVD and the soundtrack and both are incredible. I would suggest this film to anyone who likes movies like American Beauty and Vanilla Sky, movies that leave you with a good feeling and leave you to wonder about the world around you.

Summary: One Of The Best Movies Ever!
Review: Donnie Darko is one of the most underrated movies I have ever known about. This is the sort of movie that should win 11 oscars rather than LOTR: ROTK. Donnie Darko is practically uncategorizable. It contains elements of sci-fi, teen movie, drama, horror and thriller to name a few. Gyllenhaal gives an amazing performance as Donnie Darko, a confused teen who is trying to understand the workings of the universe. Set in 1988, Donnie avoids death when his friend Frank (a giant rabbit) takes him to a golf course to tell him that the world will end in 28 days. The rest of the film is difficult to describe, yet unbelievable to watch. The soundtrack is one of the better soundtracks going around. The film was shot in 28 days and no one (actors included)was paid or made a profit. This is the sort of film which deserves a multi-million dollar intake! The extras package is fantastic. I can't wait for the director's cut!

Summary: out of the norm
Review: Rarely has a movie left me astounded.Yes do believe the hype surrounding this movie! This is a movie for people that will think the second best solution to a problem first..What if you knew when your time was up..What if you knew who you really loved.How would a person react if he was offered the truth of his existense and how easy it is for a person to sacrifice his life for the good of his beloved ones.Utterly poetic,this movie demands thought and critique from its viewers.Not an easy film to watch, good perfomances, a storyline that deals with westerners fear of the inevitable, the unknown and the obscure.Dont watch this movie if you have never questioned your existence.

Summary: young man visited by rabbit, stops world ending.
Review: This is without doubt one of the most original films ever made.If you plan to actually live rather than just exist you should watch this film. This is film that you must come at with a very open mind, if you dont you will hate it.
This is a film for people who like to step outside the circle, for people who arent satisfied by just another blockbuster, not that i hate those i thought that Pirates of the Carribean was one of the best films of last year I even rank it alonside my favourite of last year Kill Bill, and thats saying a lot as I preach to anyone that listens. Just ask my fellow horseman and Amazon reviewer The Birdman.
But seriously see this film or else your world will end on an empty and sad note.

Summary: Hopefully director's not a one-trick pony like M. Night
Review: After hearing about this movie from a friend for the past six months, I finally watched it and was really surprised. I think that, like "Lost in Translation", some people are going to get this and some people aren't. The previous reviewer who said the acting and dialogue are bad is one of the ones who doesn't. The dialogue (most particularly Donnie's) is stunted because it's supposed to be. The kid is not OK...he's got issues. This isn't the typical Hollywood prettyboy playing an unpopular teen. I've known kids a lot like him, and Gyllenhaal's portrayal of the character is amazing. Some movies are more than just entertainment, and this is one such movie.

Summary: Donnie Darko...difficult deciphering
Review: Donnie Darko is a convoluted time-travel/sci-fi movie that will not appeal to everyone. It has a man in a rabbit suit as a main character. However, it is well made, well acted by pretty big names, and very entertaining. As writer/director Richard Kelly's first movie, it had a limited budget of $4,000,000.As mentioned in the commentary, probably more people are listed in the credits than saw it in the theaters. However, it has gained a following (judging by reviewer comments, inclusion on top 10 lists, and Amazon sales rank, etc). I've watched it a couple times with and without commentary. After a few more viewings, I hope to have most of it figured out someday. Reasonably priced DVD has many extras.

Summary: brilliant and mind bending
Review: Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies of all time. The film has a strong script and even stronger performances. Jake Gyllenhaal, in the title role, gives a magnificant performance that makes you forget that he did "bubble boy"(and THATS saying something!) The movie has its gentle moments, and its moments that grab you and never let go, but the entire experience itself is rivetting. All of my friends who have seen the movie went right away to buy the movie for themselves- its that good. The ending will keep you thinking for weeks, and it will take a couple of viewings to truely begin to comprehend it. It ends up like "American Beauty" with time warps and wormholes. Not only is the movie amazing, this DVD has great features. There are multiple deleted scenes which are interesting to see, and the commentary with Jake Gyllenhaal and the director/writer Richard Kelly help shine light on some of the more obscure parts of the film. Overall, I'd say that this movie is a must have DVD.

Summary: Amazing film - Extremely thought provoking
Review: There is hardly enough that can be said about this film. I have heard that people either love or hate this film after the first time they see it. I was definitley one of those that was impressed. After watching it I only wanted to share it with others for the selfish reason to get their opinion. That is what is nice about this film. It brings up so many issues and ideas that everyone develops their own beliefs and interpretations. I have had many discussions about religion, time travel, love and life because of this film. Donnie- a typical teenager suffering from a mental illness is the focus of this sci fi thriller. I don't want to give anything away so that's basically all you can say. But just be open minded and enjoy the ride, after the film is over you're not even sure if you know what you were watching, or if it even happened. An even further way to experience the film is to go to their interactive website, www.donniedarko.com but I wouldn't recommend doing that until after you see the film. This will definitely be a classic. I just wish I could have seen it in the theaters.

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: I just watched this movie for prob. the 5th time. I watched it with a group of my friends about 10 of them at the end of the movie they all went what??? This movie is great if your not a shallow person, it has an amazing them running throughout the movie. For those of you that need a little help....pay attention to what donnie tells his science teacher about gods hand in human choice and destiny. This movie makes you think it has left a huge impact on me I'm a big music guy havent really branched out into movies yet, I really hope that there are more of like this.
