Great just like I expected! Depp nailed it, I am not sure if there is anyone right now as good as Depp is. The acting was on point all the way around and the movie was done very well. Aft my first viewing I give this between a 8.5-9.0 out of 10 and that is likely to go up once I see this again. Great movie!

Yeah dude, I loved this movie too. Michael Mann's direction is on point, the cinematography is fucking ridiculous, the pace of it was perfect, the acting is top notch, an all around great film.

It was actually kind of a let down for me. It's not I have anything bad to say about it. I can't think of much. It's that I also can't think of much that really moved me or made me say wow. Though I didn't get why the film grain changed half way through the film and I don't like how they ingored much of the era these people lived in and the reasons for popularity. WhenI heard Public Enemies in the title I thought maybe it was more widespread among the public enemies of the Great Depression. Instead it was mainly about Dillinger and his girlfriend. Which is fine I guess, but I was never really drawn into the love story either.
I guess in the end it was a decent film, but I was expecting a masterpiece.

Can't wait to see it.

how was Christian Bale? he either does a good job acting or is like "how did you get into acting?" lol.
-

I am not a huge fan of Bale but he did a real good job in this movie.

1/5?? WTF?! i havent seen this yet, but 1/5? WOW. thats glitter status.

^i know, but critics like to give reviews like that because it gives them some attention; but they still lose because they look like morons when everybody says they love it.
it looks like the kind of movie i'll love, like a Bonnie & Clyde with some Road To Perdition. ;) 8)
plus Depp can act his ass off!

I loved this film, I thot it was amazing, The 2 1/2 hrs went by fast as fuck for me. This is one of the few movies Ive seen that kept my attention throughout. Depp was incredible in this movie, dude always delivers. Bale was dope, one of my favorite actors today. Who else felt like robbing some banks while watching this? lol
-
this movie was average at best.. depp is decent. im pretty stunned about how postive some of these reviews are... :-\
-
I liked it, Honestly the directing was fucked up in certain scenes. Shaky Cam is very common (and over used). I was able to follow it with no problems, but that's because I know John's history. Honestly my family was lost cause scenes had no Backround, depth or transitional scenes. So yeah I say watch if your looking for a film sorta like SCARFACE. Don't expect no God Father/Goodfella's type shit.
-
i thought id get passed the cinematography, cause even in the previews i didnt like the direction, well i didnt, it was alright, but i feel like what he was trying to do was terrible the handheld cam/'documentary style, even with different and great directing i still think it would have been ALL THAT but def better
about the end, is the line from the movie?

Them NY papers are pathetic. I'm from the westcoast & I know this. And the critics don't know jack sometimes. I remember the tv critics not liking Weekend at Bernie's thinking it was dumb. And that movie was hilarious. The 2nd one shouldn't have been made though.

I saw this last night and it was average at best.

That's Michael Mann's signature style, it can be hit or miss.

He's talking about how it looks like Christian Bale plays the same Character and voice. Even though he's Welsh and that's his Main American Accent. He talks in Interviews most of the time so people won't get distracted that he's being played by a Welsh actor. Christian Bale is at times a mix bag. Some times he can do it masterfully (Batman) sometimes people will see him as fucked up (John Conner). Personally I think he's a Serious actor look at The Machinist, he lost all that weight and then he started to bulk up afterwords for Batman.

^no, thats not what hes talking about. LOL. he was saying that Christian Bale is hit or miss with his acting, and I really dunno of any roles he played to a sub-par standard. ???
-
^Rescue Dawn, plus i am not a big fan of his Batman; but it's weird because he has been the best Batman lol.
i liked Christian Bale in "The Prestige" - great film & when he was about 10 he made "Empire Of The Sun" - another great movie.
i wouldn't say he's hit or miss, but i would say in my opinon he isn't always the same actor.
overall - good actor.
-
I thought he was great in Harsh Times, actually made the movie watchable. he played the bad-messed-up villain guy to a tee like Denzel in Training Day.
