So I guess I got a taste for it the second time around. It's awesome, there's nothing else to say. Matt Damon is incredibly cool as an agent and above all, it's the realism that emanates from him that people like the most. The music adds incredible nuances, the cold atmosphere is more than good. For my taste, maybe not the most precise action, which is occasionally spoiled by a few sloppy cuts, but in terms of content, it's a ride. Maybe even better than The Bourne Supremacy.

Chicago one of those films that you might not necessarily dislike, let alone throw away, but doesn’t offer practically anything new or innovative, and you will probably to avoid a feeling of boredom during the screening. The captivatingly shot dance scenes in the cabarets do not make up for the rather dismal screenplay and main plot. The performances are excellent, and above all, the actors are the engine of the whole film, without whom it would suffer from the boredom syndrome even a little more than it should be healthy.

Comparing Hannibal with The Silence of the Lambs is nonsense, they are two completely different movies, their only connecting factor is the main character, Hannibal Lecter. It is clear that the visually talented Ridley Scott took on the directing duties, and it was not a mistake at all. The plot is much simpler and more linear, with more focus placed on combining visual elements (captivating Florence) and brilliant atmosphere (Hans Zimmer's music, excellent camera work). The opening raw shootout stands out in this delicately crafted film sore thumb. Anthony Hopkins benefits here primarily from his voice rather than actual acting, which may disappoint true Lecter fans, whereas Gary Oldman in the role of Mason is outstanding and the makeup artists once again excelled.

One of my favorite films ever. An amazing Mel Gibson (both behind and in front of the camera), the best battles, authentic medieval atmosphere, perfect music and the wonderful Catherine McCormack.

Traffic is one of the best drug films ever. It has fantastic technical execution, especially the handheld camera and filters, and fantastic editing, all of this gives it a very impressive authenticity and at the same time, it literally breathes artistry. The screenplay is perfect, as well as the direction and the cast.

It may be pathetic, but visually, aesthetically, and musically, it is such a lavish affair that it completely disarmed me. A classic love story set in a big catastrophe – a cliché at first glance. It really is like that, but you can't help but like it. It doesn't pretend to be anything else.

A captivating and visionary sci-fi film that is unlike anything ever made before. It's not worth arguing about whether Kubrick would have done it better or worse. Spielberg made the film the way he wanted and did not embarrass his colleague. A technically flawless film with beautifully ethereal music and excellently chosen actors. A great experience and once again, one of the masterpieces of world cinema that will most likely never be fully appreciated.

Camera orgies reaching indescribable dimensions, one of the best soundtracks ever created for a film, captivating action, beautiful Bruckheimer-like filters, sharply contoured image composition and perhaps the most exquisite coloring I have ever seen, excellent dynamic direction, romantic scenes alternating with the most action-packed ones, with at least every other shot carrying an emotional charge that doesn’t leave a moment to catch your breath, great voiceovers, and Bay’s stylish and indispensable low-angle. Bruce Willis delivers a magnificent and restrained performance, brilliantly complemented by the rest of the cast, and the screenwriter deserves praise for the wonderfully structured and diverse characters. For nitpicky film student it will be rubbish, for the ordinary viewer, divine entertainment and literally burning filmmaking, showing what can be done nowadays. As Bay himself once said, “I didn't come to cure cancer, but to entertain people.” It is holy truth.

A dark and visually stunning gem that deserves to be among the best films of 2002. The master shows himself in full form, confirming his reputation as one of the greatest directors of all time. Minority Report is a smart film, relying mainly on an excellent screenplay, which, along with the incredibly detailed production design and great performance by Tom Cruise, makes you forget about occasional slightly sentimental moments that are a regular occurrence for Spielberg. The visual effects are breathtaking, as is Samantha Morton in the role of the precog. The scenes with her are amazing and the veteran Max von Sydow certainly doesn't need to be ashamed of his performance either. Add to that a unique visual style, beautifully tinted camera filters, and thrilling action. Spielberg is still at the top.

The best part, and the film that defined the term “grand adventure” for the next decade, if not more.
