This movie was very exciting and I loved the element of surprise it had. I couldnt believe Meryl Streep was the bad guy. It was a total surprise. Denzel Washingtons appearance was amazing and Liev Schreiber was amazing. If I could Id give this movie a 10 star rating. Bravo.

Pure awesome ride, this is what is missing in some of the more recent "thriller" movies I have not seen the original 1962 movie yet the 2004 version shares the same basic story elements of the original film and somehow stays faithful to the original movie...

Incredibly smart and intriguing. From beginning to end the attention is caught, and questions are posed to be asked. Guessing how the ending will happen, or even just guessing if there will be a sex scene. This movie is just as good as I wanted it. Anyone who gives this movie below 4 stars obviously doesn't have a knack for political or suspense movies. I love this movie beyond a doubt. Good job to cast and crew. Definately a movie to own

Posted: 12/27/2004A review of The Manchurian Candidate by aphat154551
This is one of the most boring, dull and stupid political movie from Hollywood I've ever seen. It was a total waste of talent for D. Washington to take this role. If the script was based on a true story, it'd a big shame for American to know that its politics is as filthy as it can get. Highly not recommended. Pass your money for something else.

This movie is slow and boring. They should have spent more time on what brought them to that point in time instead of how that will affect the election.

My friends and I decided that we needed something to do on a rainy day when we knew we had homework to do, we drove to the movie theater to see some new Denzel Washington movie, we didn't know the name, didn't care what it was about. etc. etc.. but as we begin to watch the movie we became instantly hooked, so did the whole of the theater, no-one left the theater, and at the end, there was this awesome silence like "Oh MY GOD!!." I love Politics movies and i didn't know this was one, and i must say one of the best ones i've seen in a while.

Posted: 8/15/2004A review of The Manchurian Candidate by Blondie827
I understand how a lot of people wouldn't enjoy this movie as much as it is a remake -- however the acting by Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep was OSCAR worthy. I really enjoyed this film as it was suspenseful, the acting was superb... and it's one of those films that make you really think about things. GREAT movie, a definite five stars... and I hope that the Oscars keep the performances of Washington and Streep in mind, as they stole the show HANDS DOWN!

Very interesting movie. I'm a Denzel fan. He can bring any script to life. He gave the character a sense of being real. I enjoy Meryl Strep she was wonderfully wicked. The film made you think "What if".

This movie was a creepy one. I think its worth a try. Some of the images were quite disturbing, so if you like that kinda thing, this movie is for you. the acting in this movie was close to flawless, however some might find it difficult to understand.

I thought that this movie was very interesting. The plot was really creative and good. I really enjoyed it and I would reccomend it for a good movie that makes you think.

Posted: 8/16/2004A review of The Manchurian Candidate by SupeG2
This movie missed on every level. Candidate moves slowly and takes itself far too seriously. Not a shred of humor in over two hours despite the fact that it's too illogical to be taken seriously. For example, the "Manchurian Candidate" is a young Senator who becomes the VP candidate despite seeming like a mental patient for half the movie. He is also single - which would in reality eliminate him from any list of VP candidates. It sounds nick-picky but the whole movie is full of things like this. Example 2; police don't see obvious clues to two murders. The pacing is set like a murder mystery though we know ahead of time what is going on, so why strech it out? Unlike a good murder mystery there are no plot turns or surprises. Go see Collateral instead, it's a five star movie with a similar style.
