I just came back from seeing this movie, and I agree, it was heavily under-rated.  It\'s true that it is unrealistic, but hell, 90% of movies are that way so that\'s no reason to devalue it.

The Butterfly Effect had an awesome concept, but I also felt some of the stuff was over the top.  But hey, it got the point across.

I\'ll watch it eventually, I won\'t go out of my way to see it. The concept just seems tired and boring. A man can go back in time, he finds out that no matter what he does, he can\'t correct things, he can only change them and often for the worse. Hello? It\'s been done before.

Very true, but the psychological anomalies in this movie are alone worth the ticket price.  This is one movie where the acting is half-decent.

No offense, but I have a hard time taking you serious now that you have used "acting is half - decent" while reffering to a movie with Ashton Kutcher.

I was very impressed with Kutcher\'s dramatic role acting. I felt like his acting was very real, and that he showed all the emotions well. Maybe that is because I am in his age bracket, but I found something real about his acting and was pleasantly surprised by it.

I saw it yesterday, going to see Monster today.

And yes, it was a decent movie, barely above average. It\'s a great concept just terribly executed. Ashton can\'t act, I\'m sorry but it\'s true. You say he\'s still Kutcher...that\'s the problem, he shouldn\'t be in this film.

Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

Some people are just so biased to anyone that they will no matter what believe that someone can act. As much as I hate to say it just like Ben Affleck, not saying the guy can act just as an example.

Whats unfortunate is some of you are being so narrow minded that you can\'t look past the actor Ashton Kutcher to actually notice the character in the movie that he is portraying.

His acting was fine.

I thought it was okay, he made quite a few stupid ass mistakes which kept the movie from being better.

And yes, Ashton can act.

I saw this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago and actually liked it. There were some probability issues but name one movie that doesn\'t have at least one.

I\'ll probably grab the DVD just to have it.

I also just saw Bad Santa. A++ GREAT Movie.
