    An awesome movie ... I loved it - have watched it many times.

    I did find a very good site going through the time travel part of it (films usually contain one big paradox in them). It explained why the events you see are the third time the occur:

    First time through the loop he would not have the memories of seeing himself being shot

    He had the memories of her (Mad Stowe) looking sad and told her this so she made a point of smiling at him

    Therefore ... you are watching the third iteration and the memory the little lad would then have wiould be different again.

    I'll shut up now before they stick me in with Brad (We're all monkeys!)

    No but I saw Manority report and didn't like it...that much. I wouldnt see it again.

    The most possitive thing I can say about it is it was an interesting idea.

    Could have been a better movie if not for Cruse.

    Personally I think he ruiend it.

    cant spell worth a chitt.

    Really?

    Usually, I don't like him, but I thought pretty much everyone agreed the role was made for him.

    I thought he did quite well in it.

    I loved 12 Monkeys! It's one of my favorite movies along with the Matrix, etc. I like films that mess with your entire preception.

    One of my favorite Terry Gilliam films....I don't care for Bruce Willis really, but he makes a good protagonist who gets his ass kicked all the time, and Brad Pitt is an awesome maniac.

    Everyone I talk to also realy liked Manority Report. I am probably more burnt out on Cruse. To me it seemed like there could have been more story line for the other charactors. Maybe broden the story a bit more.
    The special effects were neet. Just too much cruse IMHO.

    I didn't care for all that dripping snot either. But thats just me.

    btw. I also saw The Bourne Identity the same week. That was to me a far superior movie. Great I will see it again.

    The fight scenes were awesome and the car chases were so real. Not spectacular just REAL. That one so far is my pick

    spell ck.

    I'm with ZenPunk on this one....I also liked Minority Report. Im not the real big Cruise fan but thought he did a good job. I also do like Bruce Willis. Zen have you seen Lost highway? I think you would love it.

    Hey Xander----have you ever seen U-Turn....boy that movie would piss ya off.
