Sorry, this movie sucks

Janae Milner

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I truly admire Oliver Stone gifted filmmaking, his service to our country, and insight into many issues. However, i believe he has simply lost his freaking mind with this movie. None of the portrayals represent the whole truth, because we do not know the truth. That is fine, whatever Oliver. But pandering to the lowest common denominator, i.e.,conspiracy theorists (I use that term loosely) that believe LBJ, the CIA, Castro and little green men from Mars were all behind the assassination. Costner's portrayal of Garrison 's emotion run the usual gamut from A to B. Would it kill the guy to maybe not look like he is always constipated? However, i took delight in the film's portrayal of that insane, evil, closet case J. Edgar Hoover. He looked positively ravishing in this film! So beautiful! Hoover, you entered the wrong profession - you could give RuPaul a run for his money!! sly old dog Hoover

JFK is an interesting enough documentary style film, but is quite long and loosely based.There was no expense spared in casting, but a waste in talent I believe. Costner was good but many of the others not so much in my opinion, Pesci in particular. The length of the film was not necessary as Donald Sutherland's character basically gives Garrison all of the information in one fell swoop. There wasn't a lot of investigating accomplished, people just seem to come forth volunteering information. JFK pales in comparison to "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" from the "The X-Files," on the subject matter.

one of films changing, at the first sigh, everything. reminding the role of cinema as detective about obscure files. becoming, again, provocative, direct, fresh and tool for remind the force of question. Oliver Stone is a master of challenges. this film is a real good demonstration. because JFK represents, first, the pretext for explore the profound political America. without the desire to give verdicts. or answers. only as a chain of questions for remind a form of civic duty who seems part of a reduced group.nothing to demonstrate. only fine manner for not ignore.

Greetings from Lithuania.Wheter or not do you believe the things shown in this movie are true (or at least mostly) - "JFK" (1991) is a one great movie. First time seen just now in 2016, it kinda blew my away because i didn't expected that director's cut which i've seen, that runs almost 3 h 20 min will be THIS entertaining, involving and provoking at the same time. Cast is probably one of the very best (if not the best) i've ever seen, and while some of them played a bit over the top (J.Pesci), there isn't a weak performance here - that is because of a great director working in his best form. Now i do believe that this Oliver Stone's (who's movies are a bit uneven sometimes but ALWAYS interesting to watch) movie is probably his most ambitious ever, as much as i love "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July" and highly admire almost every other (well except for the poor "Alexander"). Script of "JFK" is brilliant. Many times watching this movie i asked my self a question - did this really happen or this is a pure fiction? I do not ask these questions in my life often (almost never), as i do not believe in big conspiracies overall (fake moon landing and fantasies of haters in that spirit), but this movie is so superbly written that during the movie and closer by the end i started to have my doubts. I do not honestly know many facts about the killing himself, just as much as probably everyone else, therefore seeing things in "JFK" made me think otherwise to official story and a theory that was presented by the end by Jim Garrison sounded very, very convincing to me. So who actually killed Mr. Kennedy? Lets leave it to the history.Overall, "JFK. The Director's Cut" is a superb drama in all directions. At running time 3 h and 20 min (!) it is, hear this - never boring or uninvolving for a second! The pacing (amazing editing), writing and directing are one of the kind and with a cast witch involves almost every well known face in a Hollywood this is a must see movie whether you like conspiracies or not. Great movie.
