NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

razdcj I watched this movie in the light of Trump's election. I didn't think the historical events depicted in this film would remind me so much of the things that have been transpiring in the US this year, but it really did. People constantly label MLK as "peaceful," and a lot of people get the wrong idea that somehow all of his protests were peaceful -- That the protests of today by activist groups like the BLM are somehow the polar opposite from these of MLK. In reality, we attribute the peacefulness to these protests because MLK himself was peaceful, but a lot of his protests did indeed spiral out of control with several people rioting, getting killed and so on. A lot of people forget that the three men in Mississippi were actually protesters, and they were essentially killed in combat. The 3D view of all historical figures in this film is kind of jarring at first -- MLK as an adulterer which is true. Despite his being a Reverend, Lyndon B. Johnson's affinity for holding meetings while taking a dump. These are very reminiscent of people today, and it cuts through the romanticization of the past that most of us hold. People back then were just like us -- They got angry, sad, happy just like we do. They reacted in very similar ways, and the way this movie construed the events to make them very reminiscent of what has transpired in the past couple of decades is what makes this an authentically great movie. Maybe some people wouldn't find it as captivating as me. After all, I am a self-proclaimed history junkie so the factual and humanizing dimensions of this movie made the entire experience incredibly riveting. I can't say I support Trump, or if I do. I think that we still have a lot to learn about him and his administration even if I voted democrat in the last election. A small part of this movie also focuses on "bad press," which is also a very serious issue plaguing our country today. Stick to your guns -- Rely on your gut. Remember to always question everything and double check any news being spoon-fed to you. For example, the press today publishing articles about deportations trying to exploit the context of Trump's win to make it sound like a direct consequence of the result when in fact, an Executive Order takes up to a month to go in to effect. It is essentially impossible that Trump would have been able to completely transform the vetting system in just a few hours. The people in this movie became hysterical and depended on arbitrary interpretations of the constitution. Some people were adamant that desegration was a violation of the constitution because of these arbitrary interpretations. It is so easy to get caught up in the wrong interpretation, and consequently I'm watching a lot of my liberal friends collapse into hysterics over Islamophobia. Watch this movie, keep an eye on history because someone who does not know their history is doomed to repeat it.

adonis98-743-186503 Lyndon Johnson becomes the President of the United States in the chaotic aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination and spends his first year in office fighting to pass the Civil Rights Act. A great biography starring Bryan Cranston as President? Hell yes this movie was really good and the makeup alongside the prosthetics were terrific especially on Cranston's character. All the Way does have it's flaws tho which is mostly the slow pacing but other than that this was a great movie with a powerful message, outstanding performances by the entire cast and it also has Steven Spielberg as an Executive Producer so yeah this movie is definitely worth your time. (7.3/10)

Rickery Spectacular acting job by Cranston, who absolutely nails LBJ. This movie, aside from its entertainment value is interesting as a reminder of Johnson's bravery and his significance in our country's history regarding basic human rights. Johnson was quite the political deal-maker in his day. Having lived through this period myself I can vouch for the accuracy of Cranston's portrayal of LBJ. I feel millenials should see this movie so they can see exactly why, how and when the political leanings of an entire section of the country went from being totally Democratic to totally Republican virtually overnight and have stayed that way for over 50 years. You can draw your own conclusions about why his happened.

asc85 There's no doubt that there are lots of strong performances in this movie: Cranston as LBJ, Leo as Lady Bird, Whitford as HHH, and Langella as "Uncle Dick" Russell. But you can tell this movie was based on a play, because, try as they might to infuse this movie with any action and excitement, the film is mostly a bore, and I found myself nearly dozing off multiple times. And maybe their portrayal of the sleaze of politics also bothered me, most notably with Humphrey coming up to MLK at the Democratic convention and bubbling over with enthusiasm about a "great deal" they reached with him when HHH knew it was a terrible deal. Finally, while Anthony Mackie is fine as MLK, he physically looks nothing like him, and since they made an effort to have so many other characters look like their real-life counterparts, Mackie's appearance stood out like a sore thumb.
