  • This woman is a moron.

  • @braddyboy82 yea this criticism pretty terrible. the korean family did a good job. i dont know why she calls them stiff? "grows more intriguing as it evolves." thats some pretty fancy bullshit lol. technical jargon+ girl with a pretty face =/= good!

  • The only reason anyone dislikes this movie is because they're too stupid to view racism in media as artistic content. Gran Torino was the movie of the year.

  • I think you're an overeducated 27 year old virgin who likes to hold the hands of old women and promises them eternity

    We used to stack FUCKS like you five feet high in Korea, use ya for sandbags!

  • Hilariously, it's the Asians that are movin in on his nice suburban neighborhood. Gee whiz.

  • too bad Clint didn't have the nuts to make a movie about Blacks moving into his neighborhood.

  • @KipJordy1

    I can tell you didn't learn a thing from this movie.

  • This is an excellent movie.

    Clint is a boss.

  • It's not the what, it's the how. This could have been another generic "old man learns one more lesson" film, but the way the characters interacted and grew together is what made it so good. I especially liked how Thao was, however embarrassingly, initiated into the culture of adult American men, especially when his own family had basically given up on him. Despite it's flaws this is really a great film.

  • this movie was awesome eastwood was so badass in this movie

  • this grandpa has some style :o

  • she is just a dumb whore, why would ANYBODY deem opinion on the movie to be relevant??

    fuck that.

  • This was an awesome movie reminds me of a more bad ass red from that 70s

    show

  • I see this movie as a flawed masterpiece.

  • Clints still got it

  • i loved this movie! we need more people like him who wont put up with any bullshit!! this society has gone to the dogs!!!

  • 10 outta 10 for this movie on of the best i've seen.

  • this movie has one main character you did not talk much about, but his role with Walt is the entire reasoning behind the tragic ending. Walt could not confess to the PRIEST about his past at war, he ENJOYED it too much., He went overboard -one scene admitted that. He remained guilty and bitter and could not forgive himself.....he choose to die in the end for a purpose though. That was for the familly next door. He could have commited suicide..but that would have been the easy way out!

  • Very much overacted by Clint, some of his young co-stars were good though.

  • Overacted? You're a retard. He played the character to a TEE.

    You realize there are 100's of veterans out their with his same demeanor.

  • you call me that , with a name like yours mmm???

  • Bwaha that's all you can say? Moron.

  • I like alot of Clint's movies, and he is not a bad director, but this was not one of his finest acting roles and it would be a shame to go out on this. OK.

  • Well that is your opinion. I thought it was a great movie. Very wholesome.

    Need more stuff like this and not the usual hollywood garbage.

  • So would I be right in saying that you might be a John Wayne fan,

    What a finale he had. The Shootist was a great film to go out on. Long live the Duke.

  • I was so hyped about this moive. The chane to see Clint diss and beat on wiggers, nerds, hongers, old haso, ungrateful family, wussies, and pretty much every other type of useless person out there. The movie was going great, right up until the end. Why did he sacrifice himself? This totally ruined the movie. It would have been awsome if not for that. I'm dissapointed in Clint. He should know better.

  • it was a strech to see my hero as less than human, it past roles you always saw him as an ultimate good guy. here, he was the worst kind of person for most of the movie but he finnally redeemed himself. the end of the movie was unexpected.  overall i am glad that i watched it. hope that HBO gets it soon.

  • the ending , i have to agree was very unexpected im a bit of a wuss i shed a tear

  • When was he ever an ultimate good guy? The guy who manipulated two gangs into killing each other for money? A bounty hunter? A fraud bounty hunter that killed other bounty hunters and freed the supposed bounty? A fascist cop? William Munny?

  • It was a different period of time thats all. Certain terms and names which are very derogatory now were terms of endearment and such. My father who will be 48 this year says when he grew up in PA they were just getting out of those times but they were still very much alive.

  • Is washing your hair out of the question these days?

  • you can tell the only way the reviewer lady got her job was with a tube of lipstick, christ...

  • this "movie critic " is really unprofessional;

  • Of course Clint Eastwood rocks.

    I'm glad he met with this stupid bitches taste. She has no business reviewing anything, other than maybe a porn site.

    Fire this bitch, AP, the is embarrassingly bad.

  • Next to John Wayne, Clint Eastwood is the greatest actor of all time!

  • i lvoe this film really moving and yeh i thought at first seeing the advertisements it would be alright. Million dollar baby is a great film so I thought it was worth the time. When i saw the flm I was blown away it is one of my favourite films wow Clint can direct and act at that age. I have the up most respect for that man truely brilliant. I felt like clapping when the film finished great ending please rent or buy thi dvd its really one worth having.

  • u fukin wanker

  • It's not the what, it's the how. Of course everyone knew that his neighbors would soften him. It was in every friggin trailer. What impressed me was how realistic and natural it played out. Everything from his stupid grandkids to the priest to the neighbors to Waltz's friends. Like that foreman: "Sure, Walt, just help yourself to the coffee."

    And why are people ripping on the actors? I thought everyone was great.

  • so did i; this movie is one of the best i have seen in a long time

  • "What's up you old Italian bitch-prick barber?!"

  • shes a dumbass, the movie and actors were great

  • Thao did some bad acting though, like when he gets locked in the basement, dont belive me?, watch his face in that scene

  • yeah and some other supporting characters did similar acting goofs

  • Thao(Toad ) was bad ... but u cant point finger to the movie ..

    Clint was excellent

  • Wishy washy review of a great movie

  • get off my lawn

  • outrageous claim aginst the first time apperences i thought the y were very close to top notch

  • Come on, Make my day! Dirty punk,!

  • This is the best movie of the year.

  • ,,Get off my lawn''...gosh gotta love Clint!!!

    It's an awesome movie with really hilarious moments thanks to Walt's sense of humour ;-))

  • Its great they use first time actors, its like Clint is giving a wider variety of people a chance to act rather than using the familiar faced professionals. For that reason, its also 'feels' more realistic, as none of the characters (besides Clint obviously) have previous roles to compared to. Simply, an epic film.

  • went to see this movie today best movie i ever seen am going to see it the 2nd time next week

  • just watched this. Beautiful movie

  • "IT STINKS!" just kidding. im very interested in this movie

  • Bad acting from younger cast? Bullshit, they were largely excellent, especially the girl who played Sue

  • This film is a damn good movie and anyone who says otherwise is full of bull. I know lots of older guys like the main character in this movie and Clint's portrayal is spot on.

  • yeah this movie review wasnt that great

    this movie was freakin amazing, i dont think ive laughed that hard in a long time

  • Comment removed

  • You misread what he said, he said the Movie "review" wasn't that great, not the movie itself.

  • thank you blade004 obviously your among those people like me who can read

  • That's probably because the Reviewer is a PC person who is probably foaming at the mouth with every slurr that Clint says. "Don't judge me unless you've walked a mile in my shoes."

  • I watched dirty harry first time straight after watching this

  • amazing movie... holly fucking crap.

  • great movie and great explanaation without spoiling anything

  • good movie the cast was excellent

  • i loved this movie!

  • Funny stuff. I saw Whitney (Sue Lor in the movie) at a Hmong Wedding when she came up to Canada from Michigan. Didn't know she was going to be in a Hollywood Movie. Aaha.

  • Watch this movie and 25,000 more at goodmovies(DOT)tk

  • I'm asian and I went to see it with my gf who is white and it made me crack a few tears. (not cause of the slurs but because of the ending) I've never gotten so many wierd looks from other moviegoers before. Excellent movie and I recommend everyone go see it

  • many people of many ethnicities have had to form gangs just to protect themselves against one pest problem in southern cal...and the pests are mexicans, people who aren't even here legally. from asians to blacks to iranians, to armeinians, to even other latinos...no races are safe with mexicans around. at least when there's alot of them. they're cowards, they're only tough when they out number other people. i HATE mexicans! I'm glad whites rally to make them leave. go minutemen! call INS!!!

  • uh, oh...mexicans are gonna think this movie means to go after asians. mexicans will try to gain acceptance from whites by attacking other minorities. at least here, in southern cali. they're really violent people.

  • You're right on with that last part.

  • I don't want them!

  • Sue's role is very believable. Thao's role is awkward and shaky at times.

  • Best movie ive seen in years.ima buy the dvd when it comes out :)

  • So I guess the point of this movie is to show what its going to be like for the last generation of white people once we become a minority in 30-40 years right?

  • that's bullshit watch the movie before you make stupid comments.

  • European vacation lol.

  • 1:28 - I can relate. =)

  • I just watched this movie it was very good Clint Eastwood did excellent on this movie I highly reccomend it

  • Clint Eastwood is a genius. He made a low budget movie hiring low paid actor/actresses, and made a huge profit out of it. A very excellent movie by the way.

  • best movie i've seen in a long time.  very very good!

  • best movie i have ever seen. GO Eastwood!!!!!!!! you rock

  • what? no recomendation to see or not to see?

  • best movie ever

  • best movie of 2008.highly reccomended.touching w/ sum comedy in it.9.5 out of 10.actually best movie ive seen in the class of drama/action

  • I agree - this is the best movie I think I've ever seen. I'm a math teacher in Fresno and teach a lot of hmong students... so see the faces of many of them in the faces of the hmong in the film. in fact a bunch of them are from fresno although not necessarily my students. wow.

  • Want To see the real movie go to allmovies(.)ssr(.)be

  • now i wanna see dat!

  • i really like this movie sum of the actors weren't on par with clints acting level but the story line and depth of the different emotions portrayed through the music and lighting in certain scenes really gets u attached to the movie. Really one the best movies i seen in awhile also has some personal ties to my own life so that is maybe why i enjoyed it so much

  • It was an excellent movie! Superb and up for Oscar nominations!

  • good movie, but u gotta admit, the asian acting screwed the movie

  • Fuck no the movie is one of the best movies ever. Everything about it is perfect.

  • i gotta admit ur a faggit i hope u get shot

  • very entertaining movie. I'd recommend it to anyone.

  • Agree you rock!

  • im spamming this.

    you ruined it fuck face!

  • fuck you!

  • Almost like a retired DIRTY HARRY.

    Looks Good

  • this was a great movie. eastwood carried it, for sure. but still a great one.

  • great movie best thing i seen in a while

  • This movie is awesome.

    The kids were bad actors but He made the movie.

  • the movie was amazing

  • Best movie Ever!

  • I think the Hmong actors did great, keep in mind that this IS there first film. Hands Down to all of them and Clint and the Casting for keep the roles real to the script!!

  • wow dont watch something that u hate

  • [sarcasm]Yeah, because he's going to know he's going to hate it before he sees it.[/sarcasm]

  • Actually, The Happening was.

  • What is this critic talking about? The hmong actors actually did a pretty good job, especially the gangster, because that how all gangs around my hood act like from asians to mexicans. What this critic need to realize is that she need to get off her uptight house and her high class neighborhood, take a walk around the ghetto, come back and tell me if that acting was not convincing enough...well if she made it back..... :)

  • She probably got terrorized and harassed by gangs in highschool because she wasn't a scumsucking welfare-eating waste of space like they were. Everyone who isn't completely worthless gets harassed like that, so im sure she has an idea of how gangs actually act (like a bunch of worthless apes).

  • I think she is talking about the girl and boy next door, not necessarily about the gang members. Because she is right, there were moments where you could tell they were new.

  • specially when tao got locked up and started "screaming", not a very convincing scene

  • omg . this movie made me hecka cried in the end.

  • if they ever make a batman beyond movie, clint eastwood should be old bruce wayne.

  • This is Very good movie! go watch it! i freaking loved it...

  • The associated press picked a good movie to review

  • Ala John Wayne in "The Shootist", Eastwood should make this his last stand in front of the camera. An outstanding performance that leaves him nothing left to prove. What a great body of work he has blessed all us film lovers with. Now just direct a select gem here and there, and enjoy yourself Clint. You deserve it.

  • Got my had on a screener copy...and simply loved it!Sure there are technically flaws and notably sub par acting from the young cast but arguably one of the best this year!

  • this is such a great movie, NOBODY could have played this role better than Clint.

  • i cried like a even bigger pussy ... best move this year by far .... i smell OSCAR

  • My favorite movie this year and I am a huge Batman fan.

  • "you ever meet a guy u shouldn't have fucked with?"

    "thats me"

    best line in whole movie.Excellent Movie

  • i think "pussycake" is up there too

  • i liked when tow or toad was in the barber and said i got hit or banged by my workers

  • Damn, now I need to see it.

  • Clint Eastwood is a bad ass. I want to see this.

  • i fucking cried like a big pussy

  • Great movie. Just saw it last nite.

  • juz saw the movie

    it's a really good movie

    the end was sad.

    the view and location of the movie where they shot it at is VERY BEAUTIFUL

  • Clint Eastwood didn't want them to take acting class. He just told the actor(s) to be themselves.

  • You are right, and they did well

  • They are not Vietnamese Family

  • Almost got it. They are not Vietnamese

  • the moive...is awesome......dat ish wat i'm talking about.....We Hmong people...finally hit da big screen......hell yeah.....

  • They tried!

  • she's right, the asian actors aren't very good.

  • that's cause they're not really actors. Like she said "it's all first time actors/acrtress"

  • clint eastwood lives on forever!

  • i want to apologies this movie is great i was totally wrong i love this guy

  • Good for you

  • Perhaps you are missing the point of what the movie is trying to say?

  • you got that right

  • FUCK YOU!

  • you're a fucking idiot...CLINT EASTWOOD IS A SAV!!!!!! C.E. FTW!!!

  • hmm
