Summary: Amusing, Clever, Rather Slight
Review: Memento is an amusing way to spend ninety odd minutes, no more. The gimmick is neatly handled, but ultimately turns out to be rather more obvious than I had anticipated. This whole business of basing an entire film on one slim premise is getting rather tiresome. First The Usual Suspects, then The Sixth Sense, then this.If any of the characters had grown on me as human beings, I might have liked the film better. As it is, it is a rather chilly exercise in style and narrative trickery. Nothing more.

Summary: I love this movie
Review: This a classic film noir on a par with the best of Hitchcock. The plot was so ingenious and imaginative-a man is searching for the rapist and murderer of his wife even though he has an unimaginable handicap-he can't make new memories and he forgets everything after 10 or 15 minutes that he's just been through. That leaves a compelling plot, and Christopher Nolan's screenplay milks it for all it's worth in this terrific movie.
Add the incredible acting skills of Guy Pearce, great supporting performances by Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss and you have what is in my opinion the best movie of 2001. I can tell when a mystery is great because I was so blown away by the truth that was revealed at the end (or in this case, the beginning)!!! Astounding.

Summary: If Only More Movies Were This Amazing.
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is original, superbly acted and brilliantly edited together for a unique viewing experience. The premise of the movie is that Leonard (Guy Pierce)is trying to find the men who raped and murdered his wife. Unfortunately, he was hit on the head by the men who assaulted his wife and now he has only a long term memory and his short term memory fades after five minutes or so (meaning he can't make new memories). He copes with this by writing himself notes on paper, pictures and even tatooing certain bits of information onto his body. The style in which the film explains the story is brilliant, as another way of developing such a unique character would have proven inadequate. The movie starts at the ending and works it way to what normally would be the beginning. While it goes about it in this fashion the plot unfolds and we are introduced to various characters that all interact/affect the main character (Guy Pierce) in some way. The question is...who is truly a friend and who is an enemy? All is revealed in the movies satisfying and unexpected ending (er, beginning). Memento is a creative and intellingent story that is crafted brilliantly and assisted further by stellar performances from all the movie's players. After watching it, you can't help but get philosophical and try to divulge some deeper meaning from the film and life in general. I know I've been pondering something. If Leonard can't make new memories since the incident, then how is it that throughout the movie, anytime he meets someone, he always tells that he has this condition and can't make new memories? Since he didn't develop this condition till after the injury it should not be in his long term memory and no where does he have written, "I have a condition that doesn't allow me to make new memories." Very interesting.

Summary: Now THIS IS HOW TO MAKE A GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: Hollywood-listen up. "Memento" has shown you how to get great acting, a one of a kind plot with a surprise twist-a surprise beginning, and a surprise end, great directing, one of the best screenplays ever written, and purely ingenious story-telling and then combine it to make one of the freshest and most compelling who-done-its I've seen in a long time. It doesn't hurt that Chris Nolan had one of the greatest casts put together either. Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss are easy on the eyes too which didn't hurt. Joe Pantoliano provided just the right touch to
help bring out some of the more humorous moments, and there are plenty even though the subject is serious. Not a movie I'll soon forget.

Summary: Unique!
Review: I passed by this film several times at the rental store, but I'm so glad I finally picked it up. As previously mentioned, Memento is about a man unable to make new memories searching for a killer based on messages he writes and photographs he takes for himself. Imagine not knowing where you are or how you got there every time you wake up. Now imagine trying to track the person that killed your wife with this condition. The thing I enjoyed most about this movie is how we are introduced to a scene where neither the audience or the main character know how he got there. Then scene by scene we backtrack until it makes sense. The supporting cast make this movie even more interesting. Buddy and the woman (forget her name) each seem to have their own agenda. Leonard (main character) interacts with these people based on the messages he writes on their pictures. You will have to watch this movie (on the edge of your seat) to find out if that was a good idea.

Summary: I'll be talking about this film for years to come.
Review: Brings a whole new meaning to the word "suspense." I watched it with a friend who'd seen it before and, at times, it was torture not knowing what would happen next. I think I might have yelled, "JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!" but I can't be sure. It's overtly about a guy searching for the murderer of his wife. He has no short term memory (He can't remember anything new beyond a few minutes into the past. His real memories end on the night his wife was murdered.) But the film is so layered, reverse accumulation. Guy Pierce turns out another stunning performance. I didn't realize that it was Carrie-Anne Moss from The Matrix until credits were rolling. I highly reccomend this film.

Summary: very creative
Review: i'm impressed with this film. it is very creative. here's a guy who can't register new memories for longer than a few minutes. so what the ingenious director does is he takes us backwards through the film, so we FEEL the same way! superb.

Summary: A fine, very satisfying movie

Summary: Confusing yet interesting, PERFECT!
Review: I heard about this about this movie when it first came out. I was looking for a movie to go see and I came upon this movies. I am a fan of Guy Pearce cause lets face it, the mans hot. I found the movie slighty interesting,but decided to go see something else instead. When it came out on video, i rented it. Last night i finally watch it and the way the movie was filmed was virtually fasicanting and I was taken aback. This is my idea of the perfect triller and the fact that u knew what happens after it already happens but not sure why it did happen is the coolest, lol, it was perfect. I was mezmoried by this film, perfect.

Summary: A bit over-rated
Review: I guess you'll read the other reviews so I'm just going to say that the whole "no new memories" aspect and the "story told backwards" thing just wears thin after awhile. The plot twists at the end, which is really the beginning, don't live up to the hype. This movie certainly made "no new memories" for me. Why don't you try "The Usual Suspects" or "The Manchurian Candidate" instead?
