JFK Anyone? - Blu-ray Forum

jbig31 · 12-26-2008, 11:06 PM

Considering getting this one-any thoughts?

ckent22 · 12-26-2008, 11:07 PM

What kind of thoughts are you looking for? Are you asking if it is a good movie? I think the simple answer would be duh.

William H Pratt · 12-26-2008, 11:09 PM

Have you seen the film before? If yes, did you like it? If yes, do you like it enough to buy it? If yes, buy it whether it is on BD or SD DVD.

Moefiz · 12-26-2008, 11:09 PM

For me personally its a good movie but its not something I will look at more than once or twice.

tntkain · 12-26-2008, 11:13 PM

I just ordered it. I have seen it before and it was a good movie.

jbig31 · 12-26-2008, 11:14 PM

sorry guys, I should have been more specific. I've never seen it and I wanted to get some feedback from those who have. I saw it at BB and now on amazon for a reasonable price.

If you believe in 110% accuracy, then don't buy it. The Director presents "his" take on the events surrounding JFK's killing. When I saw it in the theater years ago, I found it very engrossing & the 3 hours flew by.

Great film one of the 90's ten best for sure!

tntkain · 12-26-2008, 11:21 PM

No, but there are alot of interesting facts. There has always been alot of speculation about JFK and I don't believe we will ever know what REALLY happened.

Clark Kent · 12-26-2008, 11:28 PM

A great piece of filmmaking. It is true it plays hard and fast with actual history but it is an interesting take on the Kennedy assassination and is highly entertaining with some great cameos and acting. The Blu-ray is top-notch.

stow123 · 12-26-2008, 11:31 PM

the most boring film i have ever seen or 1 hour of it as i couldnt take anymore

GORT · 12-26-2008, 11:39 PM

It's a great work of fiction but if you are a conspiracy fan then it's for you

gvortex7 · 12-26-2008, 11:42 PM

Engrossing to some, boring to others. Go figure. I myself had it via Blockbuster online for a while now, but I have still yet to find time to check it out. One of these days I'm sure I'll watch it, mainly because I really want to, but also because I'd like to get another movie from my queue sometime.

Even if you believe something else happened to JFK and arguably do not agree with the film; it's still very entertaining. One of Stone's best imo. 3.5 hours goes by very fast. A really great cast too. Some great actors in there as well. Especially the Matthau/Lemmon combo. Love those guys.

indiephantom · 12-27-2008, 01:08 AM

I watch it all the time. One of the best films I've ever seen. Haven't bought the BD yet, so I'm not sure if it is worth the upgrade. I might rebuy when the price drops. Too many releases I have to get first.

rev.and.ride · 12-27-2008, 01:38 AM

This is definitely worth getting. Great movie and a nice Blu. While the movie is not 100% accurate and is already a bit dated in terms of research and theories, it's still much closer to the truth than the Warren Commission report! Until we have the definitive truth on the case (which we probably never will), Stone has done a good job of weaving together the case of Jim Garrison and the research of Jim Marrs.

If you like crime dramas, political movies or mysteries, you'll love JFK.

JJJ225 · 12-27-2008, 02:19 AM

One of my all-time favorites. To me, it's probably the quickest moving 3+ hour film ever. Love it to death, and some of the best editing work of all time. Awesome supporting performances too!

Lsalas76 · 12-27-2008, 02:36 AM

I just blind bought this earlier today. I've been wanting to see this for a while now and I tend to generally like Oliver Stone's movies. And for the price of $14.99 currently at Amazon, couldn't pass it up. I hope its worth it cuz I really hate to blind buy movies.

sonnyworld85 · 12-27-2008, 02:38 AM

Great movie! One of my fav Costner films.
