Boring

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A great thought provoking film that leaves you wanting more of the story. One of David Fincher's best films and definitely most underrated. An excellent cast, particularly Mark Ruffolo and Downey Jr. it's a long film but if you like murder mystery films you will love this.

This movie opened my eyes to the dreamy, seducing world of filmography, after I watched this movie i engulfed myself into obsessing over ever film critics were buzzing about or had buzzed about. Now to the actual movie, Zodiac is a movie, no more of an experience that takes you through the real life's of Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr) and Dave Tocshi (Mark Ruffalo), and there willingness to crack the code and find the killer. I don't want to say anymore, and now all I have to say is if you call yourself a film lover or enthusiast you must see this movie.

Zodiac is by far one of my most favorite film of all time and I always consider that this is by far the best film of David Fincher. I also think that this is one of the best non-fiction film. There is a lot of things to praise on this film but first the summary of the film. SUMMARY: This film is all about the real case of the Zodiac killer who killed in the San Francisco Bay Area at some time around the late 1960's and early 1970's and the investigation and the manhunt that came along with it. It also follows the journey of Robert Graysmith (played by Jake Gyllenhaal), a cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle who got interested in the case and tried to investigate it. This film is based-off of the 1986 book "Zodiac" that was written by Robert Graysmith. Everything about this film works. The cinematography, performances, pacing, direction, just everything. In fact, I think this is far better than the another film of Fincher that is also one of my favorite which is Seven (1995). Fincher grew more subtle in the years and you can tell that when you watch Zodiac. It's not some they will just shootout all of a sudden, cheesy car chase scenes, etc.. The film is actually almost true to it's original source. It's a real investigation film about a serial killer. In fact, it's not so much about the Zodiac killer but is about the obsession of the leading actors to search for the Zodiac killer. Speaking of leading actors, best performances by Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downer, Jr. and especially by Jake Gyllenhaal. They were great at this film as you can tell. The direction is also great, David Fincher is one of my most favorite directors of all time. But the best thing about this film is its pacing and its cinematography. This might not work for some other people, some might complain the pacing is too slow or very methodical. It's because the film takes its time and it doesn't just rush it all. Personally, I found the pacing of this film great, it makes me feel also obsessed of finding out the identity of the Zodiac killer. The cinematography is mesmerizing, it almost feels hypnotic. The cinematography of Harris Savides is a great thing. Another thing to praise is the use of visual effects and CGI (computer-generated imagery). Fincher wanted to be this film to be as accurate as much as possible even the setting of this film. The visual effects of this film feels seamless, I didn't even doubt that there was CGI involved and when I found out that they actually used CGI, I was shocked. The music of this film is also great, it's very subtle. It's overall a great film and is definitely a must-watch film. I think this is the one of the best masterpiece of all time.

This is a movie about a real serial killer, and it's not like any other serial killer movie, the geniality mainly comes from its multiple plots and its endless questions and suspense.You will be well entertained with the acting, the 60s and 70s scenes with the pale colors of photography which will make you feel its reality, and the great group of actors which did a great acting that was suitable for the atmosphere of the movie.Finally, it's one of the best drama/thriller movie you will ever see, it's about 160 minutes in length so you may want to cancel any important appointments you have before starting it, and you will definitely not feel bored any any second.
