It had me on the edge of my seat. I was shocked at the 'twist'. Very well put together.
Forest Whitaker was fantastic.Vantage Point was so good.

I wanted to like it because I love most of the actors in it, but I didn't. I actually laughed a few times just because it was so bad.

Really? I enjoyed how they showed it from all the characters angles. Then again, I didn't really have any expectations going into it.

I loved it! I've been telling everyone to go see it.
I totally knew the twist from the beginning though. just one that I randomly guessed right. And that still didn't ruin it for me! |

I want to watch it just for Matthew Fox, but I don't know if it would be worth it. I've heard not...

I didn't like it that much. It feels like it didn't have much of an ACTUAL plot until near the end of the movie and then when it finally gets there, it
ends instead of following through. I also couldn't stand Forrest Whittaker in this movie. I felt like his role (and that of the little girl) was SO
unnecessary. I mean, I definitely think that there needed to be that random spectator "vantage point," I'm not arguing that. But I didn't
like what they did with that point of view.
Another thing is that I hate when movies cast actors that look too much alike. It's especially bad in fast-paced movies. For me, IIRC, one of the secret service agents (an important one) and the guy who was trying to save his brother looked alike a bit. I guess the SS agent was Matthew Fox and the other guy was probably Hispanic so it probably sounds weird to say they looked too much alike, but imo opinion, they did. |

I thought it was good up until the last 25 minutes or so. Nobody is that invincible. That just ruined the entire movie for me.

It was a little unbelievable at times. Like, how could he have gone through all of that trauma and not even gotten injured?
But overall, I thought it was really good.

I really want to see this movie. I've heard such mixed reviews from it being awesome to it being terrible. I think I'll just rent it from Netflix and
find out for myself.

I thought it was really good too. But I really wasn't expecting to like it, so maybe I had low expectations going into it? But I thought it was nicely put
together. It could have easily gotten confusing in some parts.
I thought it was good up until the last 25 minutes or so. Nobody is that invincible. That just ruined the entire movie for me. Yeah, we were making fun of that part. We kept expecting him to just start running after the car like the Terminator in Terminator 2. That was pretty ridiculous. |

I really wanted to see that until I heard all the awful reviews...they bummed me out. I probably couldn't watch it now.

I enjoyed it and it definitely had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie. Although, I must say there were a few parts where I lol'd. And it
did annoy me that they kept going back to the beginning in diff perspectives. I knew they were going to do that, but I didn't expect it to be that many
times. It was good though!

Yeah, that was the only thing that bothered me, the flashing back after every story. Just because we'd get a little more info, then they'd go to
another perspective. That aside, I thought it made for one action packed ending.
I like happy endings, so I enjoyed it. When movies end not so happy, it kinda ruins the movie for me. I know, I'm cheesy like that.

Bumping this because I am watching it right now. The points are annoying. But Forest is amazing.

It was an okay movie, but the constant rewinding of every new plot was effin' annoying as hell. It got very repetitive which made it then annoying.

I thought it was very predictable and disappointing.
