Summary: Huh?
Review: This movie has to be one of the most boring and disgusting movies ever made. It is hard to imagine that a person responsible for the making of a sensible classic like JFK would also be responsible for the making of this - what? It is, from the outset, not clear what this thing is trying to say and then it gets worse. The characters are incredible and the plot possesses in itself nothing to hold an audience.

Summary: Worst film ever made?
Review: Oliver Stone's attempt at a psychedelic rendition of BADLANDS comes off as an empty shell of a film, and 4 HOURS of it is intolerable. Sure, if you're into seeing Ashley Judd and Denis Leary in parts that effect the film in no way whatsoever or see Stone get even more childishly grotesque in the decapitation of Tommy Lee Jones, then I guess this widescreen edition is for you. But unlike his exceptional TALK RADIO and JFK, here the essentric, paranoid director takes sensationalism too damn far and never comes back: he has nothing new to say. Instead of exposing the hypocrisies of our country or frightening ways the media turn killers into heros, he just goes into a foray of violence and ends up w/ a big pile of MTV-influenced, masturbatory nonsense.

Summary: I want this movie on DVD!
Review: How come this movie hasn't been released on DVD? I simply loved how Oliver Stone filmed the weird effects (eg. movies/words projected in the scenes, cartoons, imaginations...). And above all, every human has a basic killer instinct, and this movie represent that part in all of us.

Summary: The greatest movie of all time
Review: This is my very favorite movie, and I've seen a lot of movies. This is a satire of the current state of thing (the state of things in 1994, when the movie came out) and if anything the state of things has gotten worse since this movie. The acting in this movie is wonderful, Woody Harrelson, Juliet Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Sizemore became some of my favorite actors/actresses, and I'd only judged that from this one movie. Oliver Stone directs this movie amazingly, there is always something going on, such as a mini movie playing somewhere in the background. The movie almost looks like a music video! The direction, acting, script... everything about this movie is perfect. Its violent, its romantic, its satirical, and its... true. That's the scariest part.

Summary: Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible
Review: This is Oliver Stone's only terrible dud("The Doors" came close - but no cigar). What is there to like about this waste? The film is crude, the acting is terrible, the script is wasteful and overly "in your face" and the film in general is terribly unpleasant.To anyone who likes a film - that is a nice cinematic treat with a plot, decent acting and some sort of entertaining value - then I would not recommend this garbage. Oliver Stone really screwed up here. What was he thinking?

Summary: Utter Garbage
Review: This is a film that takes itself way to seriously. It tries to poke fun at glorifying violence, but gets wrapped up in its own violence and loses its effect. Tommy Lee Jones, so brilliant in Under Seige and The Fugative, works way too hard in his role, as does Woody Harrleson. Amazingly, Woody plays a different sleazebag with perfect aplomb in The People Vs. Larry Flint- perhaps he learned his mistakes from this film. The only performance that is worth watching is Don Rickles, but his is a small role and not enough to save the movie. It is violent, noisy, and far too unbelievable even for a satire. Buy the other movies mentioned if you must see those actors, or better yet, buy Fargo. You won't be disappointed with that movie.

Summary: Oliver Stone strikes again:
Review: An amazing must see movie filled with what Americans want to see. Binging, murdering, and a true love story. A must see for all people especially Oliver Stone lovers like myself. Like the graduate threw the mind of Oliver Stone.

Summary: Abnormally ingenious!!
Review: If you want to see a movie that grabs you and doesn't let go until the final scene, THIS IS YOUR MOVIE!! I have watched this movie numerous times and it still amazes me. The cinematography is outstanding, because Stone uses 5-10 different types of film. That's what I like most about the film;the way it was done. The storyline is very well written and goes to great lenghs to show you how violent someone can be. If you want to see another film that Stone did in this fashion (little less violent), see "U-Turn"

Summary: The best movie I have ever viewed
Review: This is the best movie I have ever seen. I enjoyed the regular version that was released, but the restored scenes make it much better. I would reccomend it to anybody. Must-see for all.
