    Terrible!

    This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I honestly can't complain about the acting because, simply, the script didn't call for any. The plot was unbelievably, unthinkably thin, it makes...well, let me put it this way: Think of the movie with the thinest possible plot ever. Got it? Now make it 10 times thinner, and you have an idea of this film. And what happened to the dialogue? Did anyone else notice this? I swear, there's maybe about 10 lines in the whole film. Well, I guess that's good, because it is deaf-friendly. Not that ANYONE would ever want to see this. It might be worth it to see Ashly Judd naked, but if you want that, you can see "Double Jeopardy," "Norma, Jean and Marilyn," or...hell, any movie with her! Just make sure that if you do rent it, skip right to the end of the second scene, and then the bathtub scene. Then stop watching.

    McGregor great as always

    Interesting to look back on. So was Eye Of The Beholder a let down? Well the answer has to be a no! I went to this movie having seen a single trailer that looked more intruiging that 'mindblowing' and I think that's the whole basis of the film. It's not an epic or a groundbreaking Matrix-esque special effects extravaganza...It doesn't pretend to be. It's straight up and honest. It's not glamorous and sometimes you wonder why the characters are doing what they're doing. The ghost of McGregor's daughter is an interesting addition that shows his lonliness and complusion to the job and at the same time his yearning and feeling of loss towards her. I came out of the film feeling like I had witnessed something that not many people would watch - and that they'd be missing out! So yeah, you might prefer to go and watch epics at the cinema but why not rent this out for a lazy saturday evening. It won't blow you away but at least it has thought behind it!

    Something different

    It seems that there are a lot of people slagging this film off. I can see why they are, but I disagree.

    If you are looking for a big money, same as all the rest thriller then ignore this film.

    If you want something a little different and interesting, give it a try. Good performances and an strangley intriguing plot keeps you watching.

    Give it a try, at least it's not Titanic.

    Ok movie but......

    Completely spoiled by the really quiet dialogue, so you turn up the volume so you can hear it only to have to turn it back down again when the music or action happens, so if you watch this at home keep your finger on the volume button

    Okay

    I am surprised that this has got such bad ratings. Admittedly, it's not great, but it's not that bad either.

    Started off really well and had heaps of potential. However, after a point it loses focus and starts to drift. Still, a decent and intriguing story.

    Good performances from Ewen McGregor and Ashley Judd.
