IMO, the movie is incredible and I really thought it would have at least a 7!

That's IMDB for you. Child games and jokes. This movie disturbs me every time I see it. There is a very powerful lesson to be learned from it.

Agreed!! The movie is AMAZING. Beautiful filming, the acting is off the charts, and the soundtrack...absolutely incredible on every level!! I would have even said Samuel L. Jackson nominated for an Oscar for the movie! Or the writing to be dominated. I've seen a lot of great movies, but very few of them have lingered in my mind for so long and truly captivated and, yes, disturbed me.

More like a 10 if you ask me. Believe it or not there are still narrow minded people that won't watch it because of the profanity and sex scenes (like where Rita gets naked in front of garfield). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. I could watch this movie every time it comes on. Jackson is a legend and one of the most underrated actors ever...

It's a 10 in my book. I agree with everything you said 100%

I really like this movie too. While I am not a fan of Samuel L. Jackson's politics, I like him as an actor. And he is superb here.
The soundtrack is amazing! I listen to it often.

This film haunts me every time I watch it.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Sorry, this movie didn't engage me at all. I didn't buy the premise that none of the kids were accountable for anything they did or said. I thought Jackson was good in the movie, but most of the other characters were too over the top to be believed.

I gave it a 4 and considered giving it a 5.

I don't understand how anybody could give this a 10.
