Summary: Long and dull
Review: What has happened to Steven Spielberg? Ever since he 'went serious' he's produced pretentious, bloated and strangely vapid films like this. The plot is ridiculous. There is a simply horrid scene with a Russian doctor and nurse with a giant mole... I mean c'mon why focus on the giant mole? Is this what watching too much Kubrick does to otherwise competent directors??? To think this guy once made Indiana Jones.Spielberg is a one-dimensional and not particularly artistic director, he should not endeavour to make 'edgier' films because the result is stuff like this, neither edgy nor entertaining, just self-involved, overlong and ultimately, boring, which cinematically speaking, is just about the worst crime you could commit.

Summary: This is one of the best films ever
Review: This is a great film. Tom Cruise and Colin Farrel are awsome. The plot takes a few times watching to fully understand, but is very ingenious. The movie presents some very accurate ideas of the future and the story has nothing that would make absolutely no sense or just couldn't happen. The special effects are so real. The action is just awsome. Some really neat special features. Nobody hates this movie.

Summary: Spielberg effortlessly merges Disney and sci-fi
Review: I put off seeing this movie for a while, simply because the prospect of having to simultaneously stomach the creative endeavors of Tom Cruise AND Steven Spielberg was just too much for me to handle. However, it turned out to be "not that bad." That phrase can be attributed to far too many Spielberg flicks these days. "Not that bad." Because, I mean, it was quite entertaining. If anything, Spielberg has his plot arcs down pat. The idea was inspired. The eventual "uncovering of the truth" that accompanies most of his sci-fi films was well-paced, and the surprises are good. The plot details, as well as the characters' backstories and motivations, weren't quite as good. There are scenes where a character will expound upon something for several minutes and then do the antithesis of what they would be expected to do after such a speech. No explanation is given as to why random strangers and even bitter enemies help out our brave protagonist along the way. I don't mind having to do a little brainwork while watching a movie-- in fact, I prefer it. But this isn't clever writing-- this is confused writing, and plenty of it. In a way, it sort of reminds me of the Matrix trilogy, with people randomly walking around saying and doing random stuff and the screenwriters pretending to have a reason for it all. And what's with Spielberg's vision of the future? The way he portrayed consumerism and the internet seemed believable (and actually kind of neat, although the subsequent loss of privacy was eerie), but everything else? Sick sticks? Seemingly unlimited prison space for people who haven't even committed crimes yet? A city even receiving the jurisdiction from the federal government to hold these people in indefinite stasis? Gap pants that actually fit? Give me a break and pass me some of those optimism pills, Steve. What this movie is perhaps striving to be is a rehash of the old sci-fi standby: put not all your trust in things you don't understand, whether it be machines or psychic little girls or the justice system. So, yes. Tom Cruise looks like a bona fide hero (hey, it doesn't happen that often anymore). Samantha Morton is hot, even when she's bald. And for all my complaining, it's probably worth a rental. You may not be inspired to ask yourself deep questions about crime, destiny, or privacy, but by gum, something in this movie is sure to compensate you for your time.

Summary: A report to keep you in constant suspense
Review: This Sci-fi Mystery/Action film is a remake that could be done by no other than Speilburg himself. This helped to reintrouduce a movie that was once popular in the 70's to a younger generation such as myself with a few added twists and plots. Tom Cruise did a very good job playing this role and making it exactly what it should be. The plot and action was very well done and the whole concept of stoping future crimes and events just play with your thoughts a bit about the real future and where we will be. I got the Dvd as a gift but I would have no regrets buying it. Anyone still haing doubts should rent it and see but no need for extra hassle ........Just get it!

Summary: Has Speilberg Made A Great SF Film?
Review: Almost. It's got flaws, like any other film, but it's still fun to watch. In fact, it's fun to watch more than once. More importantly: the screenplay is intelligent and all the filmmakers involved contributed to a massive effort to keep the cheese factor to a minimum. Even the special features are good, especially the 30 minute documentary including a good sit down interview with Speilberg and Cruise together. The truth is great SF films are so tortuously rare that any SF enthusiast is happy when even a mildly good one comes along. Speilberg has been chasing an elusive accomplishment for most of his career: a truely great contribution to SF cinema that will still be admired generations from now alongside Kubrick's '2001: A SPace Oddyssey'. Has he finally done it with Minority Report? Not quite. But I'm grateful beyond words that he keeps trying. For more films based on stories by Philip K. Dick see Blade Runner, Imposter, Total Recall, and the upcoming Paycheck. Better yet: just buy some of his books and enjoy. Start with his short fiction. His novels may be a bit much for the uninitiated.

Summary: Good Basic SciFi Movie
Review: I liked this film, I bought the dvd and I don't have a large dvd collection. However, there are a lot of cliches in this film. Some of the major cliches: #1: the cop who has experienced the murder of a family member
#2: the corruption comes from the top down
#3: the future is a place where nobody has any privacy
#4: the scientist is eccentric
#5: the love interest is pretty, yet bland and uninteresting So why did I buy this dvd? Tom Cruise gives a great performance as the tormented yet cocky cop who is framed for murder and learns to doubt the justice system he once had absolute confidence in. The movie also has a lot of exciting chase scenes, scenes of cathartic violence, humor to lighten the dark places, some emotional, tearjerking moments, and great special effects. Speilberg has created an intriguing little world here and I enjoyed visiting it for a couple of hours. The supporting cast members also gave memorable performances. This film reminds me a lot of another favorite film: "Twelve Monkeys" with Bruce Willis and Madeline Stowe. And yet, "Minority Report" lacks the off-the-wall creativity, the depth, and the overall dark poignancy of "Twelve Monkeys" because Speilberg doesn't like to take too many chances.

Summary: Couldn't bear to watch this rubbish for more than 30 minutes
Review: Sure the acting was nice, the effects awesome, but this was one boring movie (that's just from a visceral point of view w/o any specifics). One major gripe of mine is that this movie tried being metaphysical in terms of predestination and intellectual time travel. No matter how carefully you craft your plot and script, there's bound to be gaps too big to fill in a couple hours. So if the metaphysics is a deal breaker and there's no other action elsewhere, there's no point watching this waste of celluloid.

Summary: Among Spielberg's best; compelling vision of the future
Review: Given all the hype around Steven Spielberg's disappointing previous outing, "AI," (which was perhaps overhyped because of the untimely death of collaborator Stanley Kubrick) I was skeptical about "Minority Report." It seemed to be mining the same vein. What a pleasant surprise. This is a great movie. It artfully combines intelligence and suspense and paints a compelling view of the future. I even enjoyed Tom Cruise's performance. He hasn't been this good since "Jerry Maguire." I have to say that some of the stuff you see here - like personalized advertising that kicks in when the technology scans your retinas as you walk into a store (as frightening as that sounds) - sounds completely plausible to me. It's masterfully presented by Spielberg in such a way that its eventual adpotion in 'real life' looks like a done deal. An unexpected delight here: prolific Swedish character actor Peter Stormare's turn as the creepy, back-alley, eyeball-replacing Dr. Solomon Eddie. Check out his great 2000 twosome as the loathsome 'Serge' in "Chocolat" and the shy, sweet-hearted 'Jeff,' Bjork's diffident suitor in Lars von Trier's bleak "Dancer in the Dark."
