1 out of 1 users found this helpful  Watch Alternate Ending First!
Posted: 3/27/2005A review of The Forgotten by Lutzie82
Thank God I watched this on DVD and watched the "Extended version with alternate ending" first. We then went back & watched the theatrical ending. What a butchery of the movie! No wonder people didn't like the ending. I think the movie folks wanted a more open ending for a sequel and be damned the value of the movie. ALWAYS check out the alternate ending first because that is usually what the writers wanted.

Posted: 2/16/2005A review of The Forgotten by barb_blueeyes1
Was there even editing on this movie?? The boom microphone was in almost every indoor sceen. And I'm not talking just a "What was that near the ceiling?" either. At times (many of them) you could see the ENTIRE microphone boom! It made me laugh through the whole movie! The question should not be, "What is stealing the children?" but should be "Who is following us around with an 10 foot boom mic over our heads and why don't we see them?!!!" It was so bad, I couldn't even concentrate on the plot. There were times I jumped, but more than anything, I just laughed with my boyfriend. We even stayed to watch the credits and see who the mic operator was (afterall, they were the star of the show). Bravo; good job; can we say "unemployment"?

Posted: 1/21/2005A review of The Forgotten by Anti-Critic
My wife and I watched this on DVD the other night, and both enjoyed it. It has been a while since both of us had our hearts pop out of our chests several times. Although I'm not a big fan of Julienne Moore and didn't think the acting was the greatest, I thought it was an interesting story and had enough to keep you interested. If you plan to watch this, DO NOT watch the theatrical version until you have watched the "Extended version with alternate ending". The alternate ending was MUCH better, and was a nice wrap-up to the story. The original theatrical ending was cheesy and ruined the film.

This movie isn't the best, but it is certainly enough to give you an adreniline rush. The end needs work, and needs true closure, but other than that, it's a classic Sci-fi thrill ride.

This was a lot better than I expected. There are some slow parts, yet there are times where I jumped. Just a great movie from beginning to end, with a great ending. If you can't see it at the theater then you must rent.

Posted: 10/27/2004A review of The Forgotten by KIMMYROCK2
The movie was entertaining but very predictable. I enjoyed watching it but would rather have waited for the DVD or to see it on Satellite TV.......

Posted: 10/26/2004A review of The Forgotten by vinnie795
Was Chris Carter a screenwriter for this movie? If you are an X-Files fan, you will love this movie. Julianne Moore gives a powerful and convincing performance as does Dominic West. How much longer until the next X-Files movie comes out? Mulder....Scully....Where Are You?

Posted: 10/24/2004A review of The Forgotten by jennpw
I had heard good things about this movie, so I guess that's what partly made it disappointing. My expectations were too high. People said it kept you guessing up until the end, but I pretty much had it figured out by then. The jump out of your seat parts were great though. Liked the acting. The ending wasn't terribly satisfying. I don't know what could have made it better.

Posted: 10/20/2004A review of The Forgotten by deRo240
This movie has a trailer that can draw interest into thinking it's worth seeing. I believe this movie was headed into the right direction early on, with the story having a growing interest. Then, somewhere in the middle the producers lost us in a ridiculous twist of predictable scenarios. There were some bright spots relating to shock factor, where the audience will jump up out their seats. My advice, wait for TV, because this movie is not worth your theatre ticket nor an exciting date.

Posted: 10/16/2004A review of The Forgotten by nakattack84
Just saw this one, I thought it was a mixed bag of good and bad. Unfortunately it was mostly the bad that stuck out. There was a little bit of over acting in some scenes, but overall the performances were dead on. The plot was very intriguing, but i thought the pacing was little slow, the first hour just really drags out. The "abduction" scenes were pretty cool and made myself and everyone in the theater jump. but thats when things started to get screwey, the explanation for the strange events in the film turns out to be a plot you might find in a bad anime, or a bad episode of the X-Files. The ending seemed a little rushed and out of place in my opinion, i'd say wait till you can rent it to check this one out
