Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
I think it was a weak and not so objective depiction of a series of complicated multi-layered events from a very specific and biased point of view. Of course they added a couple scenes at the beginning about America's support for the Shah to show that they're not biased. But I think it was just a second-grade hollywood suspense with a super silly ending and definitely politically motivated. Bus aside from that Argo is essentially and overwhelmingly right-wing, pro-American propaganda, demonizing Iran as backward, barbaric, and fanatical, which is particularly problematic considering the United States' rising tensions with Iran. Sure, Affleck is depicting a moment of national crisis in Ira
Does for football what HOOSIERS did for basketball. 5/5
Absolutely fantastic !!! I'm glad I went to see this movie. It really made me glad to be Canadian.
The best film of its type since Any Given Sunday.
these football jokes are lame...get a life
One of the best movies I've seen in years. Affleck deserves an Oscar for acting and directing - brilliant.
the opposite of historical truth - designed to give the population the message that we should bomb Iran. Think about it.
True story, Canadians as heroes, every Canadian should see this to see what was risked in the name of humanitarianism.
Ben Affleck did an amazing job directing and acting in this INCREDIBLE movie! A definite must see!!
Don't miss it....great movie.
Good acting and good directing to Ben's credit. Very suspenseful with some bits of humour to alleviate the mounting suspense. The movie apparently took some liberties with the truth for dramatic effect so don't expect accuracy. John Goodman and Alan Arkin were well casted and funny. Go see it you'll enjoy it.
A great action movie but just that... an action movie. Very little accuracy to what actually happened, which is a little disappointing.
I loved it and I'm not even a football fan!
Best movie in awhile.....loved it !Ben is amazing in this movie !
It would be a nice gesture if some of you morons would just give your review of a movie AND not go on like a moron and tell everyone what the movie was all about so the rest of us that hasn't seen it yet could or would enjoy it
Love love loved ARGO! Brilliant story, terrific casting and it kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I was so impressed with Ben Affleck and his role as the CIA agent/movie director. The casting was super as each member had a role that stood out in my mind. The pacing was terrific, and a look at real history in this unique way was really interesting to watch. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!
Really really great movie! Sooooooo tense tho!! But definitely something everyone should see! So proud of Ben for this one
Was on the edge of my seat for the movie, even though I knew the ending. Was incredible and thrilling and definitely worth seeing!!
One of the best sports movies ever.
Alan Arkin & John Goodmand steal the show. Even if facts come out more to much in favour of US, and they down play major role that Candian Ambassdor had in crisis, still a decent movie that is well made and Ben Affleck deserves a best director Oscar or Golden Globe nomination for.
This is a must-see if you love the game of football!
I felt very patriotic that Canada would take the heat for that. I am impressed with the actual scenes researched and copied for the movie. Watch the end cedits. Impressive stuff. Ben Affleck is a great director but has too many close up shots of his face.
Even though you know the ending, the movie still keeps your attention right to the last scene. Excellent movie, particularly if you recall the 1979-80 incident and want to step back to that time.
superb impossible mission of missing-hostage-escape suspense history that needed to be told. enjoyed it. worth the see.
I haven't been to a movie in so long that engaged audiences so well. I went with my teenage daughter and son and we were all captivated. The audience applauded!
Really enjoyed this movie. Audience applauded at he end. I knew the ending, but still found it suspenseful. Best movie yet for Ben Affleck. And he looks cute with that beard. Alarn Arkin was excellent.
Excellent movie! Delighting and exciting. Good advice to watch everyone.
Boring!Who is talking about Oscars?? Joke
Best movie about the game since The Longest Yard and North Dallas Forty.
Very ordinary movie, quite cheesy ending.
Movie is good in total except the beginning of the movie giving wrong information as Iranian were in good shape and among most respected nationalities in the world but USA and GB brought down the kingdom by supporting the revolution to take over the wealth also why Hollywood always try to show people in middle east specially Iranian so ugly (of course except the stupid president and their government people)? Ben Affleck Movie is good in total except the beginning of the movie giving wrong information as Iranian were in good shape and among most respected nationalities in the world but USA and GB brought down the kingdom by supporting the revolution to take over the wealth also why Hollywood
The movie is well built but the content is not true mostly, I am surprised that after 32 years the king of Iran has passed away still west specially USA afraid of him as he was one big man that wanted to stand for his people and not sell cheap oil to them, as a result Great Britain and USA supported the revolution to bring him down to achieve their goal of getting cheap oil, etc. like what they did to support Al-Qaeda to prevent Russia in Afghanistan and now they are the biggest enemy of US!, Ben Affleck is a good actor but I wish he could be fair not follow the lies that his government supporting. How come the king of Iran was so bad but Iran was the most developing country within 1970-1979
It's not surprising the life of Boatmen great Pinball Clemons would make for such an inspiring and touching movie. I can't wait to see it again with my teammates.
I lived through this period, and this movie was so well done that I am still shaken. You could have heard a pin drop in the theatre I saw it at -- the whole audience was deeply affected. A film that anyone who wants to understand more about what is currently happening in the Middle East should see. Thank you Ben Affleck for making this important film.
the best movie I have seen. Really engaged the audience.
Excellent! Great story, thrilling, moving. Two hours of fast-paced entertainment. Great job, Ben. Definitely worth the Oscar.
Excellent movie..........from start to finish. It made me feel very proud at being Canadian.
Excellent movie. Very tense even though you know the ending.
Read the critic reviews before you see the movie people. This time they are right. Most of what happened did not or important parts are left out.
Terrific movie, saw it with my teenage son and he gave it 5 stars too.
Best movie of 2012... everyone's clapping at the end of the movie ^_^
Incredible movie! Intelligent, well written, well acted, historically accurate. Well done Ben Affleck, well done. Now the rest of you? GO SEE IT!
Best movie of the month of not the season. Fantastic cinematography, acting, script - kept us on the edge of our seat at the end even though we knew the result. A MUST SEE!!!
This was an amazing movie! Acting was fabulous, the story kept you riveted to the screen. Definitely deserves "Oscar Recognition"
Was at the edge of my seat most of the movie. must see!!
The film CFL fans have been waiting for!
Amazing!!!
really good movie.. was entertained the whole time.. highly recommend this movie... only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was it had subtitles throughout the whole movie. even when it was in english, i found these highly distracting and unnecessary.
Really enjoyed this. A slittle slow in places but overall I'd give it 4/5. Saw it a TIFF
amazing movie. will keep you on the edge of your seat.
