    Brilliant movie, very bold, with true facts...... must watch movie....

    This is a well done movie. The younger crowd may not appreciate is much as the over 40 will. The acting was impressive. To date, this will probably be Leonardo's best picture. I was completely drawn in. The story is about J. Edgar and not so much the FBI. This means we get to see the good and the unsavory parts of J. Edgar's life. Even the unsavory parts were done with some respect for a great man and did not turn me off completely. Overall, Great job to Clint Eastwood, once again!

    Excellent...Leonardo should get an academy award for his portrayal J Edgar...

    Are there any RSVPs left for San Francisco? If there are, I'd appreciate it =)

    I hope they give free passes for this one. Clint Eastwood directing, Leonardo DiCaprio acting. Need I say no more!!!!

    I would like to see this movie too!
