Best movie ever!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Michael Keaton plays this guy whose main issue in life really is letting go. Problems with the family, with his own terminal illness, with his wife and the prospect of having a child he may never get to see or know. Nicole Kidman is great in this one. Much prettier and more natural, accessible and less cold than later on in her career, she illustrates and depicts a great affection and tenderness, all the while being so torn by her life's many stresses. The film attempts to develop a number of motifs but fails at achieving completion or rendering a satisfying result of those. It remains a likable, realistic in parts, fairly strong tearjerker with just enough humor from the protagonist, insight and closeness to the main actors, in a well told story with a pertinent ending and idea behind it.

I really like movies that actually teach us something. This movie teaches to value life, to be positive and not give up even amidst the toughest situations, and to not loose a sense of humor, also, that it is never too late, as long as we live, to set things right with others (our family) and forgive others and yourself. My favorite scene is in the end, when Bob (M. Keaton) dies and finds freedom and joy. For me there is a great allegory that was brought in with the roller coaster earlier in the movie and in the end. Also, since I am a musician, I praise the music of the movie, written by John Barry, that was very beautiful and tasteful. A fully recommend this movie to anyone.

A pure masterpiece.! According to me one of the best movie ever.Michael Keaton becomes my favorite Actor after watching this movie. As we all know Michael Keaton is the most underrated Actor in the Hollywood Industry and that breaks my heart in a certain way. his acting in this film is INEXPRESSIBLE. Nicole Kidman supported him(Keaton)pretty well as his wife.! The Director of this movie is Bruce Joel Rubin, writer of GHOST(Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore). He did a Marvelous job by directing this movie. But, this movie didn't get any attention whatsoever. that's just bizarre. To be honest i seriously think Keaton should have won the Oscar for his UNBELIEVABLE performance but, despite of that he didn't even get the nomination.! If you really want to see a good family movie you should watch it.!

Deliberately watch it for Keaton's mastery. Having been months since last seeing it, still, the day Queen Latifah knocks on the door, when he shows how hard it is to walk, is the second stark reminder of how good he is. The first is as he dies. The only performance of dying that has that world-class quality is Christopher Reeve in "Somewhere in Time".Keaton's character choosing to leave his child various videos as they occur to him, especially the one about shaving, is what wells the tears for me. You can touch the feeling Keaton is capable of evoking.Like some of the other comments, I agree I was astounded that he didn't win the Oscar that year, much less not even nominated. Yes, Tom Hanks was incredible in "Philadelphia". It's apples and oranges.I disagree that the Chinese attitude toward his anger was hokey. Anger does become illness.
