Shutter Island

[1000possibleclaws]

Saw it tonight, loved it! The commercial's gave me the impression it was a horror/thriller flick, but it was a Scorsese so I figured it would be good. I loved it the whole way through, and the ending was just great! I recommendation to see in theatres, or if not, definitely look out for the pre's on this one. It's unusual for me to watch non-comedy movies more than once, but I am definitely rewatching this one when it leaks.


By the way, it is not a horror-flick, but a semi-detective movie with interesting subplots into the character's past, and a satisfying ending that makes good sense.

Reading your review and seeing the trailer makes me wanna watch Shutter Island all the more. I read a brief summary of the plot and it does sound interesting. Maybe I'll watch it at home instead of theaters, well depends on my friends who'll be coming.

I can't overstate how much I HATED the ending . Add this to The Departed I I'm starting to believe Scorsese was abused as a child or something.

This movie was really good. I saw it this weekend with my wife and I too thought it was a horror flick and was surprised to find out that it wasn't. Normally I would be mad b/c I was expecting something else but I loved the movie. And to top it off, I didn't even know it was a Scorsese flick until the credits rolled! Definitely recommend the flick!

I would have hated the movie if it ended any other way! The ending made the movie.

When i saw the commercial in TV I immediately felt that Leonardo DiCaprio had made the biggest mistake in his life for playing in this movie. It looked just so Silent Jill like.

From what I'm hearing here I'm looking forward to watching it now.

I just don't like the current fashion and Scorsese's preoccupation that everything has to be a tragedy .

Or maybe he had aspirations of Shakespeare “Life's but a walking shadow.....”

unbelievably crappy film

[mr. nails]

i've heard this was good and bad from both ends. so, i tackled it and all i can say is meh. nothing i care to see again, but at the same time it wasn't a terrible film. i was really hoping for a different outcome at the end, but it pretty much ends like you'd expect it to once you understand wtf is going on. 6/10
