Summary: Good film but at times annoying
Review: This is a great film with a great twist at the end, however about midway into the film i found my self annoyed hoping it would just end soon. however i do have to say that i did not guess the ending at all and it was a complete surprise.

Summary: Clever and oh so confusing
Review: The concept, execution and acting are all brilliant. There are two problems, however. One is that you have to work way too hard to follow this. The second is the standard art film convention that the film must end with an unsatisfying non-conclusion. Guy Pierce is a very fine actor but I sort of wish they had used Keanu or Travolta because they themselves wouldn't have known what was going on. So its ingenious...and the point of it is.........must have slipped my mind. As Groucho Marx said "Next time, come back when you can't stay so long!"

Review: The movie itself gets 5 stars, but the DVD gets only 1.
To not put a director and cast commentary on this DVD is a crime!
This movie craves for it!

Summary: Brilliance in writing...
Review: Just when i thought the only great new film writers were billy bob thorton [the gift simple plan] and m night shyamalan [sixth sense unbreakable] i come across chris nolan. I have wanted to see Memento since it was in theaters...unfortunately it never came to my area so i was forced to wait till its video release. Words cannot express how well written this film is. Its not only incredibly difficult to write a film with such an ingenous concept with the memory loss and everything, but the dialogue is great as well. That makes for good acting. The direction by nolan was glorious as well. Its not easy making a movie where you see everything backwards pretty much and do it succesfully. Deffanately one of the best films all around this year, with great direction, great story and script, and great acting...where can you possibly go wrong. Not only that but you actually have to think about what you are watching, and that my friends is something incredibly rare in today's pop culture run society. I highly encourage seeing Memento right away, there isnt a film out that is more worth your time! -matt

Summary: Who-done-it
Review: Best movie I have seen in years. Its the kind of film where you get more and more confused as the story unfolds, expecting to know the answers in the end. Then BAM! The movie ends and we have more questions than EVER! For those that think the ending gives everything away... I watched it with two friends, and we talked about fifty different possible explanations for the movie on the ride home. Does the movie have an answer: Did we ever find out what was in the brief case in Pulp Fiction? No....and we love em for it!

Summary: Did I miss Something?
Review: I just finished watching this movie and I'm trying to figure out what the other reviewers saw that I missed! It was a waste of money as far as I'm concerned! The movie is totaly backwards, just when I was hoping I would get what was really going on , the credit's started rolling. I sat in my seat thinking, ok now what was that all about, now I know,a real waste of time and money. Maybe the movie was to deep for me?
If you want to see this movie, rent it, don't buy it like I did and wish you had your money back!

Summary: I liked it, suprisingly
Review: I'm not a big fan of gimmick films. The Usual Suspects existed totally for the twist at the end, and honestly I find that cheap and easy. When I first heard about the "backwards" story in memento I was put off. Sounded like another cheap trick to set your film apart....until I started watching it, and realized that it's not a gimmick at all. It's the ONLY way you could really tell the story. They actually managed to make it work, I give them GREAT credit for that. That to me was the greatest achievement. They managed to make the fact that the move is running backwards have a reason. Good Job guys

Summary: Incredible film!
Review: This movie is awesome! The only thing I can compare it to is "The Usual Suspects", but at the same time it has nothing to do with it. You just have to see it for yourself.

Summary: otnemem
Review: Momento is based on an original idea. The star (Guy Pearce) has a head injury, so he can only remember things before the incident. He cannot generate new memories. In the incident where he was hurt, his wife was killed. He is trying to avenge her death. The problem is he forgets everything he learns, so he comes up with a system which is somewhat reliable (tatooing himself), but he doesn't know who to trust. The movie has a good plot and keeps one on the edge of his or her seat. The movie is basically played in reverse, so we spend the entire movie trying to figure out what happened at the beginning. Very cool!

Summary: GREAT
Review: This is one of the greatest movies ever made! After seeing it in theaters I knew I would have to buy it on DVD. Great sound and visuals on the DVD and pretty nice special features. I really enjoyed the "newspaper article" that helped explain a few confusing parts. I highly recommend this movie.
