Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
A movie that seems to try to hard to be deep and just simply comes across as very very boring.
A very good Movie with a good plot, and some good acting. It was really neat, and interesting to see how all those 4 different stories connected in some ways. Even though it was long but I still enjoyed it. I`ve also just been reading some of the comments which people have made already made how can anyone say It was the worst Movie ever, and even compare it to Movies like Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Good and well done.
A waste of time, a waste of flim, a waste of $10.95
Great movie. I loved it. Not everybody would appreciate it, I did.
WORst movie eveR
once again hollywood owes me for my pain and suffering. if there is a point to this movie outside of a number of people going through some terrible misery please explain it to me. yeah, i saw the connection, and so what. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE POINT OF THE MOVIE. there was no growth, the characters, outside the little boy and girl, i could care less about. to suffer for 2 hours just to see how the 3 stories connect, give me a break, IT IS NO CRASH.
Only for the deephearted
Splendid !
I enyoyed the movie except for the way the Japanese girl was depicted. It has no connection to the overall story.
Great movie.
Excellent! Great directing and happy to see Brad Pitt jump out of his usual role, his acting has definitely improved a lot, he ain`t just a "pretty boy" no more ....
Great movie.
brilliant movie, i`ve learned: -never shoot a gun; you might hit someone -never take a ride from a drunk mexican -fead japanese girls are easy shoot, i knew those things already so the movie, i guess, was a waste of time. another 2 hours of my life i`ll never get back. once again hollywood owes me for my pain and suffering.
Guys, I went to this movie half-assed. But I enjoyed every single nanosecond of it. That`s why, I only blinked after I got out of the theater. Why waste pleasure, right? Go see it and then be grateful to me. It is the best movie of Brad Pitt, as I am concerned.
Thoughtful and well paced, certain drawn out scenes allow you to fully appreciate the moment from the characters perspective. You become very involved with the unfolding dramas, and are swept along untill the very end.
I have read about ten of the comments below, and I am shocked! Where did you people learn english? I mean it, its like reading a 5 years olds homework. take a night class ...something. Man.
How come someone could call Babel a `terrible movie"... only the "terrible" people with no heart what so ever would say so ! This movie is the greatest I have seen in a long time. I am glad that all the good comments convince me to go see it.
Terrible movie... very boring!!!
I haven`t seen as good a movie as Babel in a very long time. It was absolutely amazing! 5 stars for sure.
I am a big boy... and I have made my own mind... Babel is very good. I am more the kind of guy who would wait for SpiderMan to come out... but my wife had to pick and she choose Babel. It was a good surprise for me, I liked it (haven`t seen "Crash" because the boys on my hockey team told me not to go... I will rent "Crash" soon). I will tell my wife to tell my friend`s wives to bring their better halves see that movie. It is that good.
My two cents are that Babel is unique and it is great. I agree... this might end up on the Oscar nominations (just as it should).
Babel was a good movie- but way too long and not as good as Crash. If you do wanna catch this movie, I recommend it be seen in the theatre.
very good movie ... i wanted to know what will happen to all the characters till the movie ended .. very good stories and essintial ideas ..
How people are comparing this movie to "Crash" is amazing to me. They should not even be mentioned in the same sentence unless the sentence is "Crash is one million times better than Babel." I can see how the sheep are following the critics to hype it up for the Oscar`s. My two cents are that this movie is weak!
Great movie.
Great stories, it makes you think about human fragility. I called my children right after that movie to tell them how much I am glad they are who they are... nothing else. Loved it...
Just loved it.
I do not understand how come someone could not love that movie. Touching stories. Very good movie.
Very bad movie.
Just loved it. Real stories, really touching. 5 stars. We will read that title on the Oscar nominations list...
Good thoughtful movie. Challenging yet thoughtful. You have to sit back and absorb it. Interesting cinematography.
If you liked Crash you`ll like this. Movies of this calibre are so rare these days.
Superb. I agree with all the positives comments posted.
Touching. I am still summerge with that movie and I am not depressed... I am just a human feeling for others.
Inarritu`s best work so far. All the stories in the movie come beautifully together to create a film that has a nicely flowing narrative WITH A MEANING. It`s a story about communication and how much or how little we understand each other even when we speak the same language...Impressive children actors both in the Japan segment and the Morocco one. A film most definitely worth seeing, especially for all those who enjoyed Amores Perros and 21 grams.
I hope you would enjoy it as much as I did. Go see that movie, it is really worth the try.
Great stories. Just go to experience something different than mainstream movies.
Just loved it. 5/5 stars.
My husband and I went to see that movie without any expectation. Three days later, we are still talking about how good it is.
Just go see that movie. Make your own opinion. From my point of view, it is fabulous.
Very good stories.
Makes you connect with the human fragility.
This film was fantastic! It shows such raw reality. The stories are well-connected and shows how everyone is just doing what they think is best, and instead finding themselves in trouble. This is definitely a unique film. It maintains an interesting theme about communication. Nice to see such diversity of cultures and the common human spirit. Go see it, it`s a great movie!!!
Please GO SEE this movie. To the people who didn`t like the movie, and still sat through it, i commend you for giving it a try. but to those saying it too long, i dont understand how a 3.5 hour lord of the rings movie can be loved my many, but a 2.5 hour babel cannot. anyway, BABEL is great, you just have to be in the mood for it. it is slow and it`s a thinking piece. go see it if your in a thinking kind of mood, if not, skip it for later.
Splendid ! The writer is a genius, Babel is trully a masterpiece.
EXCELLENT !
Real stories, pure emotionnal treatments. We just adore that movie. We will recommend it to our closest friends. We doubt that everyone will appreciate it as it should and it is too bad.
This is a master piece. Not because of special effects, because of the real emotions it shows. Even if anybody should see it, not everyone will appreciate it. I rated in 6 stars out of 5 !
I thought this movie was beautifully done. The characters were stripped of the subtle veneer that is apparent in typical Hollywood films, and were left with raw emotion. Definitely not a mainstream film, but one that challenges what you believe in. It`s too bad that some are dismissing it as `depressing` because this film is so much more than a word. The acting throughout was top notch, and I applaud the director for his efforts.
Oscar material. This movie is a wonder. It is my favorite movie of 2006. Last year, the movie I appreciated the most was "Crash" with Sandra Bullock.
