Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

iCronic Selma is not a great but a good film, it is well crafted and well acted with a stacked cast. It has some strong Scenes like the Intro, the break up of the March and the Funeral Speech. The Original Footage at the end is a nice Addition. At times the runtime feels stretched which is one of the few negative things about the film. Not that the Oscars mean anything but retrospectively David Oyelowo should have been nominated for best actor instead of Steve Carell or Bradley Cooper, although not an amazing Performance, it is superior to the other two. Also the directing of Selma is certainly better than Boyhood, The Imitation Game and Foxcatcher

Rickting Selma got nominated for Best Picture. Of course it did. It's a story focussing on an important issue and the main character is an important historical figure who had to overcome lots of obstacles to change the world. If that isn't Oscar bait, what is? Selma didn't look like much. It's just the same type of drama we get every year, which the Academy will love while the public rightly prefer better movies that just get ignored by the Oscars. It only got nominated for 2 awards, and it's admittedly good theme song Glory beat Everything is Awesome from The Lego Movie, which was not the right choice. However, with this film prepare for a pleasant surprise. Selma is a very good film. Not a masterpiece, but miles better than The Theory of Everything and Whiplash. This is what every Oscar baiting movie should aim for: a worthy, powerful movie which is also entertaining and focuses on being enjoyable to people who aren't Oscar voters or critics. Selma is something of a triumph, and a film where I genuinely wasn't bored at all throughout.David Oyelowo is excellent as Martin Luther King, and was certainly worthy of an Oscar nomination. Ava DuVernay's direction is flat, but in a good way. She uses style sparingly (When it's used, it's very effective) and intelligently, and keeps the film grounded in realism, letting the surprisingly strong script and memorable performances tell the story instead of a lot of flashy visuals. Selma is admittedly going the motions through historical events at times and is somewhat predictable, but its characters are believable and its dramatic moments are genuine, rather than forced. Selma is quite a hard hitting movie at times, and it manages to keep you invested throughout. It is still pretty formulaic and you know what's coming much of the time, but rather than selling a message and shoving it down your throat, it's a walk through history which sells the dramatic side of the story well without being overly sentimental. A really good film overall, and far better than I was expecting.8/10

george walter I had high expectations for this movie and I was still impressed. Though slow at times, boredom is never felt. The movie took its time to deliver an poignant film. David Oyewolo was simply amazing as MLK. His presence and his charisma through his portrayal was very sincere. Carmen Ejogo was the surprise for me here. Her acting was top notch and faultless.Even minor characters were supported by extremely talented actors. Thus throwing the spectator for 2 hours in an important part of history. The make up artists and costume designers really worked hard on this one. It has been mentioned by others already but I mention it again.Overall a very good movie that does not disappoint. 7/10

Python Hyena Selma (2014): Dir: Ava DuVernay / Cast: David Oyelowe, Carmen Ejogo, Tom Wilkinson, Oprah Winfrey, Tim Roth: True story account of the historical march in Selma lead by Martin Luther King, Jr. Set in the mid 1960's when African Americans still struggled with racial crimes in the South. King is a pastor seeking help from President Lyndon B. Johnson to pass a bill that allows African Americans the right to vote. King riles the spirits around him yet his encouragement and leadership is met with brutality from locals and law enforcement armed with tear gas, guns and clubs. Director Ava DuVernay does a spectacular job at capturing the period including a bombing scene shot in slow motion. The march is riveting as King dares to face the opposition guarding the far end of the bridge. David Oyelowe gives a powerful performance as King who believes what he preaches and stands up for what is right but suffers much to change history. Tom Wilkinson plays off the frustration of President Johnson with a touch of amusement as he walks the line between pleasing King and the American people. Thankfully he proves that his power can indeed make for a better future. Carmen Ejogo plays King's supportive yet frustrated wife who wonder how much longer this can go on. Oprah Winfrey plays an elderly woman who has weathered the physical and emotional pains of racism yet still stands strong. Tim Roth plays Governor George Wallace who is strongly oppose to the bill being passed. The result is a powerful film flawed only with some forced stereotypes but prevails with the news that one man can lead a march over top of racism and hate crimes. Score: 9 / 10
