ok i gave it a ten more than it deserve maybe it should be like 8,not perfect but just cos the critics are so harsh with the movie maybe they were expecting another movie like "life of others" ..
but i thought both main actors were excellentok i gave it a ten more than it deserve maybe it should be like 8,not perfect but just cos the critics are so harsh with the movie maybe they were expecting another movie like "life of others" ..
but i thought both main actors were excellent and the relationship between angie and jhonny was set in the right tone.
so like jb56 said i recommend you go see it .
by the way 37 is to low when u see the same movie in this category, definitely not deserving it.… Expand

I liked it and my lady friend loved it.
Great Night Out Movie, Angeline and Johnny were fun in their parts.
Not and action film, and not really a comedy just an old fashioned love-drama

I also liked Johnny Depp's character a lot; no one does quirky like he does. As for Ms. Jolie's character, well, she's just visually stunning. This is an undemanding, often funny, stylish movie with a gorgeous setting and enviable elegance. It's always composed, which I guess is a problem in a film where lives are supposed to be in imminent danger and some of the characters are flat, as is some of the dialogue.… Expand

However, with The Tourist, I seem to be bucking everyone. I loved this movie! No, it wasn't brilliant. No, it wasn't flawless. However, it was a wonderfully entertaining film reminiscent of 60's British spy thrillers with a very different Johnny Depp and an ending that made the film. Clearly the high-tone cast saw something in it too. And considering the crap people do like, I am going to borrow a line from Roger Ebert. If you don't like it, it says more about you than it does about me. :)… Expand

Some people perhaps don't understand the intent. They were going for the look of such 60s films as To Catch A Thief, but this leans more on the romantic side. Its like a modern variation of fairy tales where a rich girl/ princess falls finds herself falling in love with the poor boy/commoner against all odds. I thought Depp and Jolie were both fine and believeable in their roles. You spend a little less than 2 hours transported into a beautiful world with beautiful people, and a sweet and entertaining story. If you bear in mind what it is really supposed to be, you will be thoroughly entertained.… Expand

8 only because in the first 20 min of the film i just knew what would happen. Johhny Depp is brilliant as always, and i dont understand why they didnt mask the story up a bit so it would be difficult to decipher idea so early in the movie...:(

Combined some themes from The Lives of Others, yet with a Hollywood touch. Everything from the magnificent setting, to the plot, as well as the acting were all superb, and made sure there was never a dull moment. Angelina Jolie was absolutely stunning throughout as well as having a convincing British accent, and Johnny Depp gave one of his better performances, one which improves as the story progresses. It was way better than the average summer blockbuster, and The Tourist is a movie which makes you think, unlike most that are made these days. A must see!… Expand

Although the climax was sometimes predictable, the director has tried to maintain the suspense and twists in between to make it interesting. With a mix of glamor of Angelina Joli, the movie remains to be good enough and is a worth watch one.

The actors portrayed their roles brilliantly. From a cinematography point-of-view, the film is lacking in some aspects we have all come to know and enjoy, like huge fireballs and special effects. Though, it must be said, it doesn't need those things. I'd describe this movie as a romantic comedy disguised as a thriller.

All in all, I really enjoyed watching this film. I think it is underrated. Yes, it does some major things wrong from an academic point of view, but it's still a great story and an absolute pleasure to watch.

I would recommend this film to anyone who just wants to crack open a bag of popcorn, sit back, and relax with the family to enjoy a movie everyone can watch.… Expand
