Looper? Should be called Blooper!

by immacc50

The Cold Light of Day and Looper were two of the most boring films I've seen this year... What's up Bruce?

Would not recommend spending your money on this one... wait for PPV or better yet, go rent it at Redbox.

Cinematography was above average, and I actually enjoyed Emily Blunt in her role.

NOT recommended for children as it is pretty graphic concerning violence and sex.

If you are looking for a good film to go see, I highly recommend "End of Watch" and "Trouble With The Curve"... in that order.

Characters Get Older and So Do Their Lines

by All_the_world's_a_stage

The smugness of Bruce Willis is old, and tired. There is nothing new here, he is the same old Willis we've seen time and again. The story is, however intriguing, but the performance of the younger actors leaves much to be desired. I would have enjoyed this better on DVD while doing laundry.

Excellent Movie though...

by skendall24

there were issues with the makeup being pretty shoddy at times. My husband claims that the time paradox was not fixed by the ending but overall great action flick with excellent acting and characters you want to root for.

Why the Hype ?

by ohnonothimagain

I've seen thousands of movies in my life-and while this movie has two of my favorite
actors in it- Joseph Gordon-Levitt was much more enjoyable to watch than Bruce Willis was.
Don't get me wrong, Bruce is one of my all-time favorite actors, but this movie was a messy mess that was hard to follow, and left me wanting more. To watch the scenes with Pierce Gagnon was almost unbearable mostly because of what he will endure for years in therapy. I suppose that while it got a 90+% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes says a lot. I went to see it expecting academy award performances based on the reviews and word of mouth. JGL nailed his "character" in a astonishing manner, but was still wooden and stiff at the same time. I must disagree with most of the public- Mostly Looper was loopy.

"Looper" For Sure

by Billy58

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this movie. It was very original with a great cast. Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, & Emily Blunt were all excellent. And the kid who played the little boy almost steals the movie.
It is very violent, but I still heartily recommend it!

If you like The Terminator, this will be up your alley

by

Looper was a good movie but I have some things going on in my life where it was a bit too dark for the mood that I've been in lately. If you are a bigger fan of Quantum Leap and using time travel to go back and fix things that went wrong or to make the world a better place, this movie may not be for you. If you are a fan of The Terminator where you go back in time to destroy things and kill people, then this is the kind of movie that you will enjoy.

Bruce Willis is great in his role and Joseph Gordon-Levitt does an outstanding job mimicking a younger Bruce Willis. There is some intrigue and doubt as to how it will end that makes the movie enjoyable since you don't know exactly what is going to happen.

If action/thriller is your thing, definitely give the movie a viewing. It might not be the greatest movie but you will be entertained for a couple of hours.

Good but not THAT good

by IntenseJim

This a decent movie, better than most of the detritus churned out by Hollywood. But I would not give it a rave, OMG over the top review as some have done.

Awesome.

I really enjoyed this movie. Very clever and well done through and through. They didn't have to have the bit of nudity they did, but it was an amazing movie all the same.
One of my favorites this year.

Best Time Travel Science Fiction Movie in Years

by joeexplorer

Looper is well acted with a great script. Time travel conundrums abound but they are written intelligently with a consistent internal logic to the screen writer's vision of time travel. Looper is one of the best time travel movies since the 12 Monkeys. The only minus is that it's vision of the future seems very low budget. Not much seems to have changed between 2012 and 2044 in this movie except there is much more poverty. But the movie is strong enough to overcome that flaw.

Amazing, Beautiful. Horrifying.

by

Best film I've seen in a long time. Best I've ever worked on. Sometimes I forgot I worked on it, it was so intriguing. Uncompromising. Nothing cheesy, Hollywood or forced. Surprises around every corner. Joe, Bruce, Emily, Jeff, and Noah turned-in awesome portrayals. Pierce Gagnon. Wow. Rian Johnson is The Rainmaker.

Action packed

by Movie_Buff_86

If you want a movie where you have to think, and keep you guessing throughout the full 2 hours then "Looper" is the movie for you. Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are in this movie and do a rgeat job portraying time traveling and what the world could look like 30 years down the road. It was a wild time, and it kept me guessing on what would be happening in every scene. It was worth the money, and i will have to see it again to get more out of it. You think you know what will happen next, but you are wrong. Go check it out. It was a wild ride. This movie is not for kids, for there is nudity and foul language.

Very entertaining throughout. Bruce and Joseph are great. A lot of action, cool story and just a fun ride. Definitely worth a theater admission price. Go See this one!
