Good story, Not enough for a whole film

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Excellent but underrated film

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I wanted to enjoy this film, but the forved suspense and constant scenes of thrownpaper was too distracting.The cast is incredible in this film, and watching Meryl Streep or Tom Hanks is never hard. Yet, Spielberg fell apart on this film, and took the focus away from the large issue if the film. The amount of unnecessary aggressive staredowns and cliche movie quotes became uninteresting, and the lacking display of a full story becomes clear. The plot develops well, but still I found it hard to remember that the Pentagon Papers are the real focus. Filming and overall viewership is as expected, but the director could have pulled out the stops to fill in the gaps for uninformed watchers.Overall, this is amazing for a movie fan that enjoys concerned yelling and serious adult conversations for 2+ hours. It might have been a famous historical moment for the government,but you would never know with "The Post"

A nail-biter of a story about a time in our history that could be likened to current events.

This movie is only for the liberals who's just interested in one side of a story. Cardboard characters, stiff acting, boring script, and moralizing until your throat is filled. I never thought Spielberg, Hanks and Streep could do something so bad as this sleeping pill. On the level of movie of the week, but with over paid actors and director. Oh well, not the first time that money stands in the way of quality.

This movie is very well done and well worth watching but it is slow and takes a while to get going so stick with it. Would we watch it again? Probably but it would need a dark cold night.
