Pros: Ashley Greene, Malfoy; Cons: Nearly everything else This is a horror movie that is lacking. There isn't anything new, it just seems to be a hodgepodge of old films. I think the actors and directors did what they could with the film but the story is just a little stale.

I really wish Tom Felton could snag some better roles. Since HP he seems to be floundering a bit, but I guess that's because HP called for him to be an obnoxious goober for several years. He's a decent actor so here's hoping he gets some better shots. Ashley Greene on the other hand is terrible. She's great to look at but that's about it.

Apparition needs some liveliness injected into it. It could've been a bit better if the storyline had taken some different turns but as is it's just...dead.

I generally find myself enjoying Tom Cruise movies, and even remarked that I was going to go see 'generic Tom Cruise movie' when I went to see Oblivion. Couldn't be further from the truth! There are some general things that always seem to be in every movie of his - action, riding a motorcycle (seriously, is that in his contract? to always ride a motorcycle?) - but this movie had a lot more depth to it.

It was really a fantastic movie, well-written and well-made. The scenery was absolutely beautiful (they shot at the top of Hawaii's tallest volcano for a 360 view). The effects were great.

Whoever came up with the concept had a great imagination. Although there were definitely some things that were straight out of Star Wars (if you've seen both you'll get what I mean).

I really really enjoyed this movie. It was a joy to watch and whoever decided on the soundtrack deserves major kudos. Procol Harum! There are some plot holes and inconsistencies, but nothing that will bother you too much. It was a great movie - at the end, I wanted more!

This movie definitely hits you right in the feels, man.

But even after a bit to reflect, I can't for the life of me decide if I liked it or not.

I'm not a big Aaron Eckhart fan. He was decent in this movie, though his character wasn't very engaging to me (again, biased!). Nicole Kidman is simply wonderful, and really breathes life into her character.

That story is, of course, very very sad and moving. It is really powerfully written and directed in that it - mostly - gets you to feel what they intended you to feel.

But after watching, I feel a bit apathetic about the movie. It was really well done, I can understand others really loving it, but I would never watch it again.

I wanted to love this film, as I'm a big fan of Liam Neeson.

This was a pretty good movie. It was overall enjoyable to watch, and it had good twists to the story. It was action packed, and as such Neeson delivers. January Jones is, unfortunately, a terribly cold actress and is the same character as all of her other films. I do like Diane Kruger though, and she was fairly charming in this.

I enjoyed watching it. It's a good weekend, sit-down-and-enjoy thrill movie, as one would expect from its description. It is by no means a movie I'd recommend for its artistic merit, but it definitely delivers in the traditional thrill-seeker movie. The plot is pretty good as well, and well executed.

Finally got around to watching this gem over the weekend. Absolutely stunning, both visually and with the story and characters.

I'm impressed! Foreign flicks are killing it right now. I'm surprised this didn't win an Oscar to be honest. It was really well done - superb, really! - and stuck to history very well (well, from the little I've researched it online!).

I highly, highly recommend watching this movie. It was like being transported into a completely different world. It's been a long time since I've watched a movie, and what was 2 hours felt like 15 minutes.

Definitely worth your time!

I'm always amazed at how polarized the reviews are for found footage flicks - people literally either love or hate them!

I thought Hollow was clever and overall a good movie. There is a lot of dialogue that is a wink to outside media, like the Beatles, and foreshadowing (as another reviewer mentioned with the knots).

I thought that the concept of Hollow was very interesting - I think my only qualm with the movie is that I would've wanted to delve even more into the mythologies and church's involvement.

The nod to cults, demonic possession as a result of sins (in this case, lust!) and the church was really interesting and I enjoyed watching it.

It was a good found footage horror flick and I would recommend it.

I'm not a Clooney fan, so maybe I'm biased (hey, I liked Batman!), but this sucked. It really wasn't much more than drivel, and unoriginal drivel at that.

If the intention was to make the viewer creeped out by politicians, then I guess mission successful! If the intention was to make a good movie that was thought-provoking - please try again. Well, actually, please don't.

None of the characters were remotely endearing. The content was lacking and the acting wasn't strong.

I can't recommend this. Even if you're a political junkie, it's ho-hum.

For lack of a better term, it just made me feel icky afterwards.

Watch Margin Call instead.

I was pleased with this movie. It was good, and the acting was very good as well. It did get a bit long-winded at times, and I found myself occasionally glancing at the run time and wondering 'OK, now can we get to the fun parts that were in the trailer?' and, to be honest, given what the movie is, I don't really know if all of the lead-up is really very necessary.

It is what you expect it to be, given the trailer. To an extent, I would add, because I was expecting a lot more action (was expecting Taken-esque writing), and while the storyline and development was pretty good, the action kind of fizzles. Since that's what I was watching for, maybe that's why it was kind of a itty bit of a letdown. But, really, that may just have been my expectations.

Still a good 'un.

This movie sucked, plain and simple. Maybe it could have been better if they hadn't done a horrible - and I mean HORRIBLE - job casting. How does anybody even like the two main characters?! The dude is a sleazy-looking sleazebag with no endearing factor (think: the terrible Jay Baruchel, who is truly awful but Hollywood keeps trying to stuff down our throats), and the chick, while fairly hot, is incredibly annoying and a walking cliché.

Yes, why have any woman in any horror movie be more than a daddy's girl who can't do anything without a man helping her out. Drivel.

Anyway, shoddy-ass character development aside, this story and movie blows. And I think it pisses me off the most because the basic storyline is interesting and with proper execution it could have been GREAT.

As it is, it's awful. Don't waste your time. It was, well, a MONSTER (and not the good kind!).

Am I the only one that really liked this movie? Am I the only one that thought it was insanely clever, with a sick double-twist ending? Maybe not, but from the other reviews it seems like I'm one of the few! I agree with the other review - I watched this because I thought it was a horror movie, and it is much more of a psychological creepy awesome movie. But it's good, enough said.

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are great, enough said.

Written really well, and directed well. Once you think 'ah, nice, cliché, I see the ending' - nope! Give it a shot, it's a really great movie. I feel like with a few modifications it could've been even better, on par with The Sixth Sense, but it was still great. I'd watch it again.
