Although most people will undoubtedly not appreciate this movie, I personally loved it. The movie is an absolute work of art, in the sense of how it presents all the visuals. The message is a simple one that speaks of love triumphing over everything, even death; though some people might complain that it takes too long to speak such a simple message. I am not saying this is the best movie you will ever see or any sort like that-- it is a plain good movie. However, based on the fact that the artistic style used is incredible and also because so few movies today bother to send a good message, when one is sent at all, that is what compelled me to give the movie five stars. If those two things don't mean much to you, then you'll think it was a pretty good movie, or might be too confused by it and hate it. In terms of content, there was some sexual content and mild language including an f-bomb, but the violence is the highest concern. It's a very straight-up PG-13 content wise really. It's the art that makes it anything but main-stream.

The movie was very good, although occasionally poorly acted and the direction was a bit sloppy. The only reason I would consider thinking about taking a kid to the movie is that it is a deep thinking movie, and many kids will not comprehend the movie, thus becoming frustrated with it.

I really wanted to understand the movie, as well as see Hugh Jackman in a new type of role. However, I got extremely confused after a short time. I would re-watch parts and tried to really understand and think about it. However, I really don't think I ever came to "get it" in a way that left me not thinking I wasted so much of my time. Try a movie like Somewhere in Time for a good story.
