Promised LandMovie Reviews

Important issue and good acting, but has the pace of a snail. Additionally, the screenplay and editing were third rate. Don't waste your time.

Promised Land

Thought it to be a good movie. Good information about fracking. I could not figure why they
would cast Francis McDormand as Sue. She was very blah as this character. I thought Matt Damon lived up to his character.
Nice afternoon. Nothing amazing though.

Moronic propaganda

disappointed

I was disappointed, Matt did a great job, and it was a good story line. however it was slow and i kept waiting for something interesting to happen. i would get it from redbox, but pay full price? def no!

this movie was well worth themoney

Too Political.

I've had enough irrational political BS in recent months. I don't need a fact-less political movie bashing big business. Just where do folks think jobs are going to come from without big business or bug business handcuffed into inaction. we'll all be growing our own organic crops in our back yards if this keeps up.

How about movies getting back to entertainment, politicians getting back to representing their electorate, and big business getting back to big business. What a novel idea.

Promised Land

I enjoyed the movie. Good cast, good plot and a great mix of humor as-well-as heartfelt scenes. .

Promise Land

A movie with Matt Damon always seems to be a win win movie with him as as an actor and the story line; with this movie it is much the same. Being retired from the oil and gas profession I could see somewhat of a reality with the storyline mixed with a love Steve Butler had for the small town atmosphere as well as a connection with the girl he met. I did feel anger when the so called environmentalist did the demonstrationin the class room, as being from the oil and gas community I knew it was just wrong and almost an insult. My biggest criticism is Matt Damon is a very likeable character which I am sure he is both on and off the screen, however some of the language he uses changes the projection somewhat. I beieve if we are to set an example for our children certainly the Lord's name in vain should be eliminated from the movie as well as other disrespectful slang. Over all I thought it was a very good movie and very much enjoyed. Four thumbs up here on a scale of five.

Promised Land

Great movie and acting.

A Good Political Environmental Movie

Matt Damon does a great job at bringing a current political issue to the big screen. It is good that he can afford to get the word out. We need other people such as Damon and Ben Affleck to be our next John Lennon.

Not so good

Pretty boring. slow moving.

bozo trite

We couldn't get a seat in Life of Pi, so sat for this one. Let's see: Mr Cool drops in Podunck City to rip everyone off, goes for a drink, and the coolest girl in town flirts him, lets this total stranger sleep it off in her house; bad guy turns good guy, lives happily ever-after. What a bunch of BULL.

Promised Land

A well-made film with an attractive cast that makes a case against the fracking extraction of domestic natural gas. The case is made in the context of dishonest manipulation by an immensely wealthy corporation, but without discussion of the brief mention in the credits of film financing from Abu Dhabi, a major oil exporter. Until/unless the credits are altered to give full direct dislosure & discussion of the financing I recommend against the film.

A complex morality tale

The Promised Land could have been an environmentalist vs corporations film, but Matt Damon made one for thinkers. Damon's character is "a good man" who tries to do good. He also portrays a character who does not come to easy answers about a complex issue. I highly recommend this film.

Slow but interesting

Credible and with beautiful scenery
Final plot twist a little too sinister
Nice background romance
