Shutter Island

I really want to see 'Shutter Island'..Has anyone seen it already?

Was it any good? Scary?

Struggling to find anyone who wants to see it with me.

I haven't yet, but I want to... maybe this weekend.

It's supposed to be very good, from what I've read... A throwback to the Bogart \"film noir\" movies of the 40s, with sets that could have been imagined by Poe... or something to that effect, anyway.

Also, it's based on a novel, and Scorcese stayed pretty close to the original plot. Apparently he said that if he meddled with it too much, then nothing would make sense. I haven't read the book though.

I'm so out of the movie news, I don't know what's playing at the moment at all...
Shutter Island you say? I think my friend mentioned something about it, but I don't think I'll catch the time to go and watch it...

Ooh..I never knew it was based on a novel. I might try and find that and read it whilst I'm waiting to find someone to see it with me.

I have heard mixed reviews of Shutter Island. The lady on the radio said it was predictable and everything was over-explained. But the guy on TV said it was a nail-biting suspenseful ride. Oh, well. Who to believe, radio-lady or TV guy? I would still like to see it, but I get to the movies about twice a year. I will see the DVD! I still want to see Alice in Wonderland. And I still haven't seen Avatar. And the remake of Clash of the Titans has potential...

My husband and I saw it last night, and we both enjoyed it. It's not a horror movie, more of a psychological thriller. And it definitely fits the film noir genre as well.

It's quite long, almost 2 and a half hours, but there didn't seem to be any draggy parts. It \"looked\" really good... scenery, interiors of buildings, etc. The hurricane and aftermath was also a nice touch. I won't say too much about the plot, as I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone. If you're planning to see it, and someone tries to tell you the ending, cover your ears!
