Summary: You'll never see anything else like it.
Review: Wow, this movie is good. I doubt you'll ever see anything else that's as intriging, confusing, and unique as this film. The plot is so completely different from any other film out there; essentially, you're watching the movie backwards, scene by scene (except for the opening where the footage is played completely backward, its awesome).Be warned, because of the complexity of the plot, you have to really follow the film closely. In other words, you probably won't get much out of the film if you're watching it at a party or making-out or talking on the phone or whatever. You have to use a little bit of your brain to piece the movie together.
I highly recommend this movie I can pretty much guarantee that this will definitely be a memorable viewing experience. In regards to the normal DVD and the special edition one, get the special edition one -its loaded with cool goodies (not normal goodies, really unique goodies)

Summary: An eerie, suspenseful, wonderful film.
Review: Many movies that promise to "keep you guessing on the very end" or "keep you on the edge of your seat" fail to deliver what they advertise. "Memento" keeps these promises. The story is told through Leonard, a man who is looking for the killer of his wife. Not a very original story - until his condition is revealed, a condition which has robbed him of his short term memory. The man who killed his wife also stole Leonard's memory as well, and his mission is to find the man who did it. As you may well imagine, this task proves to be exceedingly difficult. But as difficult as the task is for him, the task is even more difficult for the viewer, because the sequences are played in reverse - from the ending to the beginning. This "backtracking" is neither annoying or incredibly complicated; rather, it adds to the suspense because nothing is really as it seems. Guy Pierce does an amazing job of playing the helpless Leonard, while Carrie-Anne Moss (you may know her as Trinity from "The Matrix") plays her role well as Leonard's twisted informant and lover. Not only that, but there is a powerful message in this movie as to what motivates a man to continue living after he has lost everything. However, the one thing that made "Memento" stand out the most was, without a doubt, its unique form of storytelling. Most movies give you a question at the beginning and an answer at the end. Memento gives you an answer at the beginning and leaves you asking questions.

Summary: Completely Wonderful
Review: I hadn't really read much about Memento, although I did question some friends about a couple aspects. I knew the basic story was about a man who can't make new memories due to the murder of his wife and a bump to the head. The movie is told in scenes, chronologically reversed. So now we have a man who can't make new memories with a movie told in reverse. Oh, and it's a Film Noir murder mystery because he's also trying to find the killer of his wife. Really, you have to fight your way through the story but that's what makes this such a great movie. The ending is a bit of a twister, a snake eating its own tail. Somehow this movie merges a dreamlike quality with a sharp reality. I woke up this morning thinking about it. Magical.

Summary: talk about original
Review: By now you've hear the story a hundred times and each time you hear it, it gets more confusing (actually there is nothing more confusing then trying to navigate through the menu). Aside from the "hook" (the story backwards), this is fine, fine, fine film noir. Not to mention the number of times you'll have to watch this to understand it, you will get engrossed in the characters, and their interactions. Trying to figure out what's real....well that's another story.

Summary: Memento, great movie...
Review: You probably know by now that this movie goes backwards. The main character Leonard(Guy Pearce) suffers from this condition that he forgets everything in a few seconds, and he has to write his appointments quick before he forgets. He only remembers his life before the murder of his wife, and revenge is his reason to live. It's a great interesting movie. Just watching how he deals with the people around him make this movie a different experience for the viewer. Natalie(Carrie Ann Moss) and Teddy(Joe Pantoliano) help or manipulate(you'll be the judge) Leonard in his quest to find his wife's murderer. And believe me every scene you will be asking yourself what are the true intentions behind these people. Definately, you have to watch this movie a couple of times and it wil never get old. An excellent movie to own. But remember this is a thriller, if you expect an action movie this is not it.

Summary: A true classic
Review: If anyone says this movie falls short of a classic and then recommends Fight Club instead (a well done movie)...you may want to pay attention to some of the other reviews. This movie dropped jaws and changed the way many people perceive an acceptable storyline in the same way Hitchcock's The Rope changed the way films were shot. I'm not comparing Nolan to Hitchcock, it may take him a few lifetimes to get to that point (smirk). If you are a true movie fan and follow the works of such directors as David Lynch (and loved being confused by Twin Peaks), Hitchcock (and awed and one director's prolific perfection), etc. then by all means this movie should definitely be a part of your cinematic conversation. The storyline and it's backwards moving plot is by no means original. A few notable "classics" with stroylines that don't start at the beginning include Pulp Fiction and Magnolia, among others. A few of those very same elements appear in some black and white classics as well. However Christopher Nolan's treatment of the backwards moving storyline is unique (a man without the ability to make new memories versus a man with amnesia) and worth seeing for that reason alone. Very few directors would ever think to make an attempt at such a feat due to the obvious pitfalls of endeavouring to make the story coherent and seamless. If your understanding of what makes a movie truly great is limited to Guy Ritchie and David Fincher (both extremely talented directors, don't get me wrong, but not the only talented directors, not by a million mile long shot) then you probably aren't going to get much out of this movie. And then there's the "fail safe device" for those who still don't get it after seeing it more than once...Just watch the movie backwards.

Summary: Interesting movie
Review: This movie was interesting. It had a very clever plot. However, at times I found it annoying because of the repetition. I was tempted at one point to fast forward to the end to find out what happened. If you're an impatient movie goer, then this movie is not for you.
Rating:
Summary: Bit Overrated
Review: Don't get me wrong. This is a good movie. If we were judging he movie on creativity I would definitely give it 5 stars. But on the whole the movie is not as exciting as everyone says it is. I personally feel that the people who have seen this movie and call it a classic, got too carried away by the story (movie moving backwards). This movie is ranked at #10 at imdb.com! That is definitely overrated to me. Great movies like Fight Club and Ed Wood aren't even close to that! Well the movie has got decent cinematography and a very good performance by Guy Pearce by yet it falls short (by miles) of a classic.

Summary: One of the best thrillers in recent years
Review: Memento is a really wonderful thriller that captivates and entertains. It's funny at times, scary at times, and confusing at times but it is definitely one of the most creative and tricky movies I've seen in a long time. It's one of those movies that you talk about for a long time after you've watched it.
