Personally, I found the ending too explicit. Did we really need to know that the precogs lived a new life somewhere or that Cruise and his ex-wife would end up together again? This said, I think it is a really good movie. I found it very entertainning and thoughtful. It might be that Philip K. Dick is one of my favourite writers.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I think it would have been better had it went for the simply action, shoot them up department with some unique characters, with the main premise of seeing crimes before they are committed as a back drop. Without getting to into the psychics and the who done-it type ending. They were trying to give us the human aspect of the subject and it didn't work this time.

My opinion of spielburg is well noted. I'll say this, he knows how to put a film together he just doesn't know how to put anything into them.

I've often said something much the same -- Spielberg tells a story well, but chooses poorly the stories he chooses to tell.

I think if I stop thinking of spielberg as a director and more as a business man I wouldn't get quite as upset. I never expect business men to want to do anything accept make a buck. I should look at his films as products, extended advertisements for themselves. That still doesn't make me want to watch them or give him more money, my money.

Just think of him as an entertainer.     Like a lot of pop music these days, it's not good as music in it's own right, but it seems as the the whole entertainment package around the performer is more important that the actual music

Spielberg just tries to make movies that will entertain people for a few hours
