The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Best casting in movie history!! I just want a sequel and another one.. And great acting

Maybe I'll look stupid for saying this, but I adore this movie. Angelina from time when I couldn't decide if she was better actress or hotter chick and Bred who is one of the best actors in his generation. Angelina went to hell and back these days and Brad is cast into shadows by new generation of even better looking good actors, but for me, this movie remains one of the dearest love stories Hollywood gave us.............................................................

Not a great movie. It was an action-flick – neither emotionally compelling or profound in any way – and it was simply fun, explosive, and plainly romantic. The script was awful. The dialogue was weak, uninspired, boring, and what they said what was you heard; there was no depth or quality whatsoever. It was also painfully slow-moving (until about more than halfway through when the car chase took place) and the soundtrack was also really bad. The cinematography was equally terrible, with simple, boring camera- angles that did nothing to improve or enhance the actors or their surroundings/situations. It was nothing new and definitely not creative. The acting was OK. Just……OK. Pitt gives a much better performance than Jolie, who overacts with forced expressions and girl power that is just what it implies; unoriginal girl power with sexy outfits that make the female spy who she is. Yeah, she's intelligent too, but all the same, Jolie's character brings nothing new to the table. Pitt's acting, however, is much stronger and believable. Still, he's not brilliant, but at least decent and consistent. The explosive and undeniable chemistry between Pitt and Jolie carries the movie, but otherwise the film is nothing special.

If you look at this film as merely another glitzy Hollywood spy thriller/spoof -- in the grand tradition of say OUR MAN FLINT or KINGSMAN -- then it is merely an "8". As in great writing, acting, direction, casting and generally a lot of fun.So far, so good.Here is the trick -- for viewers of the future, when we mere mortals have come and gone, but the IMDb lives on, this is better viewed as a time capsule.The two stars were, to under-state it -- at the peak of their fame and charisma. I recall from the time a survey which conclusively showed, for example, that Angelina was not merely the hottest woman in show business but possibly (these surveys tend to over-state) the hottest woman on the planet.(To be fair, they only surveyed living men. If the dead had also been allowed to vote, who knows, maybe Helen of Troy would have won?) And the Bradster was also at his peak.Once you understood the hidden and secret dynamic of the film, it becomes both iconic and classic, and will be entertaining viewers for a very very long time.(PS == watch Vince Vaughn before TRUE DETECTIVE, also of historical interest)
