Magnolia

Pros: Definitely unique and special flick
Cons: If youre impatient, dont see it, it won't be the same as if you had an adult attention span you simpletons

When i see a movie, i reccomened it or condemn it on how long it stays with me after i leave the theatre. Magnolia hasn't left my mind yet, not in the least. In fact, the other day when i saw Next Friday, i actually stuck my head into the adjacent...

Pros: Good Acting
Cons: Everything Else

Cripes....! What a waste of time! This movie was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long long time. The biggest problem was the overuse of main characters. There must have been at least nine main characters. This overuse made it so you did not...

Pros: Great script, amazing performances, haunting soundtrack.
Cons: Somewhat long and unconventional

Though I had some problems with how BOOGIE NIGHTS resolved itself, especially the last 45 minutes, I truly enjoyed the ride as a lover of film. It had its' flaws, but at least Paul Thomas Anderson was trying to create something new and unusual to expand...

Pros: Fresh, and unique, lot os surprises
Cons: kind of wierd

This movie is an instant classic. Even if you only go for the first ten minutes, i t has one of the most memorable, funny, and witty movie beginnings of all time. Whether or not you like this style and genre of movies, magnolia is unpredictable, fresh...

Pros: Excellent acting, interesting and original story
Cons: if you don't pay attention you might get lost

This movie was a very different film. There were actually like seven stories going on all at once, all the characters are intertwined in some way, some are more obvious connections than others, but for the most part of the movie the "main"...

Pros: direction, performances, script, cinematography, intelligent wit
Cons: needed pictures at the end to identify the characters

There hasn't been a movie so packed with punch, performances and plots since D. W. Griffith's masterpiece, Intolerance. O.K., since Altman's Nashville, but I was going for a history thing here. P.T. Anderson is a young filmmaker who has a lot to say,...

Pros: Great acting, original script, conversation-starter.
Cons: Very long, lulls at times, literal-minded people won't enjoy it.

Magnolia- long? Yes. Worth sitting through? Absolutely
This film, at three hours and eight minutes, is much too long, yes that's true. Anderson could have eliminated forty-five minutes at a minimum and not lost the soul of the project. For those...

Pros: Great characters, performances, and directing
Cons: Bad story, disappointing payoffs, uneven pacing

In Magnolia, Paul Thomas Anderson has created a story with bipolar effect. What began as an intriguing tale of coincidence, ends with a soft thud. The film is a directing triumph with wonderful visual storytelling, full beautiful color and texture. Yet...

Pros: hmm....
Cons: confusing

I was so confused watching this movie. There were a lot of stories put into one movie and I got it. But the question I wanted to know was, "Why would someone make this movie?" I didn't really see a storyline to it. Yes, it had good...

Pros: Wonderful acting, interesting intertwining stories
Cons: overly long

As a film student at NYU you can imagine my excitement at the prospect of seeing the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie. I had high hopes for this movie, which were met, though the film seems to be about 30 minutes too long. Anderson introduces a cast of...

Pros: The very beginning and the very end
Cons: it gets slow toward the end

p.t. anderson does it again. First, when he dramatized the 70's porn industry with Boogie Nights and now as he brings together random people's lives in the well crafted Magnolia. p.t. anderson, the director of Magnolia, has put together a movie that is...

Pros: Plot, Plot, Plot, Plot, Acting
Cons: 3 Hours

"One of the best films of the year!" Just hearing that very phrase got me excited to see Magnolia. Unlike several films that get branded with this comment, this movie had real appeal unlike some that seem like watered down fairy tales.
...

Pros: none
Cons: it is long and weird

This movie is terrible. I had no clue what it was about going into it except that Tom Cruise was in it. SO I thought hey, any movie with Tommy should be great. But was I wrong. This movie has no plot, or story line. It goes on and on about what if...

Pros: A Great Cast
Cons: Its Three Hours

Magnolia is the best film I have seen this year. I am a big fan of Paul Thomas Anderson who directed Magnolia. His other films are Hard Eight and Boogie Nights. Both were great films. Boogie Nights was on my top ten best movies of the year and I couldnt...

Pros: Tom Cruise executes comedic scenes well
Cons: Poorly written soap opera plot, unbelievable characters

I, being a die hard Tom Cruise fan went into Magnollia expecting the normal, hot, touching movie. Instead, the most memorable thing I got from the movie was the line "respect the cock, tame the cu*t" said by my man, Tommie.
