Loved the movie. One of my favorites of the year so far. Between this and Cabin in the Woods, it's been a nice year for clever, unique movies getting wide releases. I hope the pattern continues.

I was surprised by how funny it was. It's by no means a comedy, but there's a lot of little funny moments. I was also completely blown away by the child actor. That five-year-old kid turns in a performance that's better than most adults I've seen in movies.

Any one who's interested in Looper, please go see it in a theater. Especially if you're a person who regularly complains about unoriginal dreck coming from Hollywood. Even though Looper is more or less an independent movie, the more money it makes the more Hollywood will notice that people like to see something different on screen. And it'll give Rian Johnson more cachet to make more movies.

I was very disappointed in Looper. I could never care about any of the characters because of the poor acting.
The script was corny and never seemed real. It was contrived and the actors always seemed like they were reading the script. It just wasn't believable to me. The overall story could have worked if everyone had put a little more energy into their performance, except for the little kid; he was great.

But the music was fantastic as was the SFX/CGI.

I really liked this movie. I'll be honest. The opening sequence made me jump in my seat. Caught me off guard completely. I liked how he experienced his possible future, then went through his "intended" future only to alter it anew. Also, I wasn't expecting the rainmaker to be the child. Nice twist, IMO.

Just by the by: I don't get out to the movies that much anymore so maybe I'm not up to speed but in my book but the 30 minutes I saw of this film before my wife decided to leave were filled with constant gratuitous and disturbing violence. Definitely not first choice for a date night flick (depending on your date I guess.)
