Movie Review: “Charlie Wilson’s War” (2007)

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

I have to say, seeing Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts back on the big screen again was a treat. Toss in Philip Seymore Hoffman and Amy Adams, and the cast of Charlie Wilson’s War was top-notch.

    Honestly, I didn't like how Dan Brown portrayed the book as being true, when it was completely made up, so I didn't feel like supporting the movie version. Besides, I heard it was pretty bad and I find it hard to spend money on worthless movies :)

    Now, if someone were to pay me to review EVERY movie, then I'd probably see those :)

    The story is fun, but the middle gets bogged down with a few chapters of the explanation of it all, which is where I had issues with it.

    There is no lying that the story itself was a good little plot, but the idea behind the way Brown made it appear factual is what bothered me afterwards.

    People read it and believed it.

    I wont watch it and I wont let that stuff go :)

    Also, the 25% on Rotten Tomatoes kind of makes me think it's not worth seeing :)

    I finally saw this movie this weekend on DVD. I thought it was okay, but I don't see how it was considered a comedy. Overall, I thought it was pretty forgettable even with the great cast.

    Well, Hoffman was pretty hilarious, so that's why it was considering a comedy I think...

    Pretty forgettable to me as well...I enjoyed it, but didn't care that I saw it right after.
