"Michael Clayton" worth watching?

[AlCzervik]

I saw Burn after reading today which i enjoyed but is there such a thing as too much George Clooney on one day?

1. If you can enjoy slow paced movies, then yes

I liked it. However, There Will be Blood makes Michael Clayton look like Terminator 2. It's not that slow.

thanks.

2. I just finished watching on HBO and I liked it.

There is no such thing as too much George Clooney!

How was Burn After Reading? I plan on seeing it this week.

5. i liked it, my favorite scenes were actually between JK Simmons and David Rasche

they were Cia and just very funny. JK Simmons is one of my favorite actors.

4. I loved Michael Clayton

How Clooney did not win the Best Actor for that role at the Oscars is beyond me. I am going to see Burn After Reading tom. Can't wait.

7. I really liked it...

9. Very good film.

The supporting cast is wonderful. Tom Wilkinson probably would have won the Oscar, were it not for Javier Bardem. Tilda Swinton was very convincing and real as an outwardly venomous corporate lawyer, who has serious insecurity issues. And, RIP Sidney Pollack, who plays the head of the law firm that Michael Clayton is in.

This is the flipside of the Burn After Reading coin. It is very serious, and well done.

10. I thought it was good, but overrated

I didn't think it deserved the Best Picture nomination, but it was worth watching ...

11. My dear chimpsrsmarter!

Just got done watching it, and I loved it!

There are a lot of plot lines, but they come together very nicely...

And George Clooney!

*swoon*

He's gorgeous, and wow, can he act!

Do. Not. Miss.

:hi:

12. Pretty conventional thriller. The reverse chronotope is pretty cliche

which renders anti climactic an already plodding narrative.

Swinton was unwatchable and her character Karen Crowder
was unremarkable and quite irrelevent, a mere foil for
the real villain which is Pollack's character, Marty Bach.

The take down climax at the end was classic TV docudrama.
It was like an episode of Dragnet without the kitschy charm.

I think Clooney owed Pollack and Soderbergh a favor because
he didn't need to make this film.

13. it was entertaining enough

I just did not think it was a outstanding as a lot of the critcs said it was

[Eurobabe]

14. YES, YES!!

Two thumbs up, I thought that was a great movie, very fast-moving and suspenseful. Enjoy!

15. It was an excellent movie...

I especially enjoyed Tilda Swanton's performance. :thumbsup:
