I usually love a good virus movie, but this one was totally disappointing. I don't know if it was the fact that supposedly smart characters started acting inexplicably stupid at various points, or that Brad Pitt gave the worst portrayal of a crazy person that I've ever seen, or that there were plot holes big enough to drive a truck through - but this movie didn't do it for me. And that's...

A movie that has to be seen a few times to take it all in. Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, and Madeline Stowe all do a remarkable job with their respective characters. A good story with a major plot twist in the final portion of the film.

One of my favorite movies. Like another Terry Gilliam movie, "Brazil", it does not paint a pretty picture of the future nor is it replete with "golly, gee-whiz" special effects (not that they don't have their place). "12 Monkeys" is a film with an intricate plot, an unlikely love story, and an even more unlikely protagonist/Everyman played by Bruce Willis (Cole). Like many great films, not all...

Terrific film... great music, good acting even though Bruce Willis was in it.  Probably Brad Pitt's best performance.

I FF thru it just to watch Brad and Bruce's dialogue in the insane asylum. I think its the best Brad has done.

Another complex Gilliam masterpiece. Most folks want escapism that doesn't bewilder, which is why a lot of his work keeps people at arm's length. 12 MONKEYS is one you have to watch at least three times in order to pick up the detail (most do it once, roll their eyes, and get in line for THE MATRIX). A chain-of-events thriller for the thinking person.

This movie suffers from too many flaws to be ranked so high to me. The plot is a mess from beginning to end. The actors did not need much help to act confused and crazy at times. All they needed to do was pick up the script and give it a quick read. The ending was also very predictable. It suffers the worst flaw for all sci-fi movies and movies in general... boring. Very boring, very often.

It was alright . . . . in this movie, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt's acting abilities really show through! I'm surprised at their abilities to convincingly portray those characters! Some elements of the movie are a bit old and "done already", but at least it was done pretty well. It's worth a shot, certainly.

12 Monkeys

The plot's a bit of a jumble, but excellent performances and mind-blowing plot twists make 12 Monkeys a kooky, effective experience.
