Awesome. Nobody left their seats until half way through the credits. They just let the rich tone of the finish savor for a while. Casting and performance was dead on perfect from Clooney, Swinton, Pollack and Wilkinson. Oscars for sure.

I went to this movie with absolutely no idea of what I was going to see, and I left absolutely floored by how great of a film this was. Thrilling, subtle, entertaining, and I loved that ending.

Very over-rated, this film didn't entice me from the start. It had a little bit of everything which added up to nothing. I guess I've seen one too many "lawyer" movies to think this film had anything new or significant to contribute.

Nearly perfect. This is the best written movie of the year. Tense, smart, and all the things you want from a legal thriller. The final face off that Clooney has is pure brilliance. He deserves an Oscar nom if not the win.

Inspiring. Not a single wasted frame or word. You'll find poetry hidden throughout. I think it's my favorite movie of the year.

I was expecting so much more from this film than it delivered., due to the many great reviews it received. I enjoyed Clooneys' performance. This film was O.K, but over hyped and over rated.

Overrated, George Clooney didn't really impress me, good acting but wasn't able to capture the drama to my opinion.. the end not that good either.

Not really a deep or profound film, but very entertaining. Tilda Swinton might be the best actress right now in the entire film industry. She is fantastic in almost everything she does.

This might be the most overrated movie in years. It was slow, attempted to be too dramatic, and down right boring.

Overrated... it tried to be way more complex than it end being. acting was good but I was left very unsatisfied at the end. flashback horse thing was extremely weak. anticlimactic... would not recommend even for a rental.

Took a while to make sense , but ultimately a interesting story that was well done. Gee, a movie with a exploding car that was actually a part of the story line and not just eye candy! Bill C.

I know it's supposed to be this great movie, but I was pretty bored. Good performances, not much of a story.

An intelligent, well-written story. At first, it seems a bit confusing; however, the layers start to unravel to a powerful conclusion. Fine performances by the entire cast - one of the better movies out there right now. Well worth seeing.

This movie isn't as clever as it thinks it is! Good cast though, which is always a good icing on the cake for movies these days.

This is one of the most solid movies I have seen in the last year. Clooney is terrific. Although this is an excellent thriller--the action really lies in the compromises almost everyone has to make.

George Clooney is amazing in this stunningly lifelike legal drama. "Michael Clayton" is a psychological thriller, a movie that says more than it shows.

Wished we'd waited for the DVD. Then we could have done other things while we watched at it. Moves too slowly and not very engaging. Clooney and rest of cast is wonderful, though. Just needed more "oomph".

I cannot figure out what all the fuss is about. SOLARIS was a better film and that is not saying much

inaccurate on almost every legal level and completely unsuspenseful---only positive points are a unique murder and clooney bringing gray hair in vogue---he is cary grant.

It's really just a run-of-the-mill thriller, but the performances are fantastic, particularly Tom Wilkinson. (Note to Jared C.--*possible mild spoiler alert* at what point in the movie is Wilkinson a bad guy?)

Just dumb and unactive, it explains things in the best of ways that seems like they exxagerate. The situation is big, but the movie is not. The story is just the situation, and now it has a plot problem.

Dull... Predictable... Disappointing... I was psyched to like this film but it turned out to be a pale imitation of the real thing. Sidney Lumet wannabe.
