Good movie and interesting insight into his life and some of the historic events of that time period.

User review rating: 2 December 13, 2011

Dissappointing!

User review rating: 2 December 12, 2011

Not as good as expected, despite good performances.

User review rating: 2 December 12, 2011

Unfortunately, the movie was a let down. Strong performances by Leo, Watts and Hammer get wasted. The film was too choppy with it's flashbacks and the narration went missing for two-thirds of the film. I love Eastwood movies, but this was not very good.

OSCAR WORTHY !! Very very well done. Mr. DiCaprio is outstanding. He is a contender!

oscar worthy!

User review rating: 4 December 07, 2011

Enjoyed this movie, well done.

User review rating: 5 December 06, 2011

This movie was superb! Leo played J.Edgar through many decades and was bang on! Growing up in Massachusetts, we always heard about the zeal to which J Edjar went after the Kennedys, this movie showed it and the reason why.

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

The story was well written and the acting was good- it was enjoyable.

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

I was really impressed with deCaprio's ability to capture Hoover - overall, a good movie

User review rating: 5 December 04, 2011

Very captivating. Got totally immersed into the movie and could hardly tell it was Leo! Actually thought I was watching the real J. Edgar on screen! Leo and the cast were excellent - must see!!! I smell Oscar!!

User review rating: 4 December 04, 2011

Leonardo was amazing in his part as J. Edgar Hoover. He was sensational

User review rating: 4 November 29, 2011

Entertaining movie.

User review rating: 4 November 28, 2011

One of Leo Di Caprio best acting--he deserves an Oscar for his excellent portrayal of Egar Hoover

User review rating: 4 November 28, 2011

Plot is well known and Leo is awesome!

User review rating: 0 November 28, 2011

Decaprio oncse again shows his talent in a performance that must have been researched completely. The direction without say is of course superb. The only fault I can find is the lack of play on his secretary after all she was as they say"The Power Behind The Throne".

User review rating: 4 November 28, 2011

Excellent acting by Leo

User review rating: 0 November 28, 2011

Very powerful movie. I liked it very much. Truely represents the Edgar Hoover I knew from history and true events.

User review rating: 4 November 27, 2011

well acted. disappointing that the focus was so much on the blackmailing. He was a brilliant man!

User review rating: 4 November 27, 2011

A bit too long, but main actors performed very well. For someone not familiar with the events, more historical footage would have helped. Delicate themes treated with tact. The shadow image representing MLK was reminiscent of Hitchcock and revealed just enough without directly sayhing it was him.

User review rating: 4 November 27, 2011

Excellent film. Acting superb. He was a bit of a scoundrel now wasn't he?!

User review rating: 2 November 27, 2011

This could have been so much more, but wasn't. A disappointment.

User review rating: 4 November 27, 2011

I enjoyed watching Leonardo DiCaprio in this film and found the flashbacks in the movie made it more interesting.

User review rating: 4 November 26, 2011

Would have been better in 3-D.

User review rating: 1 November 26, 2011

VERY BORING. Theatre was filled with a bunch of elderly old ppl. You can have a better understanding of the story behind the movie if you took social 30 in high school.

User review rating: 3 November 25, 2011

Interesting movie. Amazing what J Edgar got away with. Not a nice man at all. Leo was fantastic and it was an oscar worthy performance, but too may confusing flashbacks.

User review rating: 4 November 25, 2011

This was a very thought provoking movie that I decided to see on a whim. I'm glad I did. I didn't know much about Hoover being a Canadian, but he had a very interesting life. His story is captivating as are Leo Dicaprio's and Armie Hammer's performances. Even if you don't know much about this important historical figure, see this movie, and you will appreciate his life!

User review rating: 2 November 25, 2011

This movie tries to redeem J. Edgar Hoover for his sins/crimes against Americans. Di Caprio seems uncomfortable in the role, not quite sure how to play it. That's Eastwood's fault. I expected better.

User review rating: 4 November 25, 2011

I enjoyed J.Edgar's film, good for Oscar's nomination!

User review rating: 3 November 25, 2011

I found some of it very drawn out and at times boring. I think it will be a very good dvd.

User review rating: 4 November 24, 2011

Good story line in this movie, from start to the very end. Leo was exquisite in this film.

User review rating: 4 November 24, 2011

Very good character study, great performance by DiCaprio, who was in virtually every scene (Oscar nod coming?). Solid supporting cast. Somewhat claustrophobic feel overall, which added to the tacit questioning of Hoover's motives and methods. Questions linger in the air during and after watching the movie. As someone said, if Hoover saw this representation of his life, his response would probably be, "start a file on him."

User review rating: 3 November 24, 2011

A fair movie

User review rating: 4 November 24, 2011

Good movie not great.

User review rating: 5 November 24, 2011

An excellent character study of Hoover, and a good portrayal of the times in which he lived. An award winning performance by DiCaprio.

User review rating: 4 November 24, 2011

This one has a lock on many awards, an absolute must see!

User review rating: 5 November 24, 2011

DiCaprio was amazing. Very good movie

User review rating: 2 November 24, 2011

Too long, too slow!

User review rating: 4 November 23, 2011

User review rating: 4 November 23, 2011

DiCaprio OSCAR is on the line

User review rating: 4 November 22, 2011

Good biopic with Leonardo DiCaprio what's not to like.

User review rating: 5 November 21, 2011

Ok! Another big movie with big stars and big ratings! Totally agree!

User review rating: 5 November 21, 2011

Leonardo does not disappoint--really really worthwhile seeing

User review rating: 2 November 21, 2011

Eastwood's view of Hoover is confused & too generous toward a man who had little or no regard for the U.S. Constitution. The frequent flashbacks were distracting, almost amateurish. Not among Leonardo's best roles. Josh Hamilton and Naomi Watts, however, give outstanding performances.

User review rating: 5 November 21, 2011

Excellent movie and Leo Dicaprio acting was amazing. Great job Clint Eastwood.
