Even with the pre-Oscar hype surrounding the movie, it still delivered big time for me. In fact it was one of the most emotionally charged movies I've seen in quite a while. Great job all around by Jennifer Lawrence, DeNiro and Cooper IMO.

Also, big props for the use of "Girl From the North Country" by Johnny Cash for the dance montage in the middle of the movie. That one sunk the hook in me.

In my opinion I don't think it was best picture but it was rightly nominated


HOWEVER, Bradley Cooper is phenomenal in it and should win best actor IMO

Performances were better than the story.

Saw it Saturday and thought it was great. I think Argo was better. I liked Lincoln more, but I'm a big history buff. SLP hit on more deeper levels and I felt I could relate to the character.

I was disappointed that there were very few people in the theater with my wife and I, maybe 40 people for an afternoon showing.

It's fluff and it reinforces the truth that the Oscars are a joke. Bradley Cooper is the anti-Christ.

Actually a Bob Dylan song. Cash was lending a hand to Dylan on his John Wesley Hardin LP. Awesome to pull that classic out of nowhere. In fact the entire soundtrack was terrific.

My wife had been wanting to see it for a while so went and seen it the other night. Glad I did was a great flick and to boot I met Marcus Lattimore.

Great movie. Deserves the praise. Not my cup of tea though.

I enjoyed it. I had trouble getting into it at first but after Jennifer Lawrence arrived on the scene it got a whole lot better with the interaction with Cooper. Definitely one of the best movies I have seen for 2012/2013.
