Wow, very disappointed. Not worth the $10.50 in my book.

Eastwood was great, but that was most likely because everyone around him was so bad.

10.50?! Holy crap its only about 6.50 at the theatres around me. But yeah i have to agree Eastwood was amazing but the other actors brought the movie down a lot but it was still great definately a movie to buy when it comes out.

I'm not sure that any movie that Clint Eastwood has ever been in, going all the way back to the spaghetti westerns, ever exemplified 'great acting'.  But Clint is a powerful figure as is, and can carry the whole film.  Producers have always understood this, I would imagine.

Just thinking back to the Eastwood films I can remember off the top of my head, I can remember great quotes from almost all of them.

I'll pay to see it.

Pale Rider , my fave quote:

"When he opened the fourth seal,

the fourth beast said:            

"Come and see. And I looked

"and behold a pale horse:

and his name that sat on him                    

"was Death                

"and Hell followed with him."

Enter Clint Eastwood. Gotta love it.

One movie comes to mind:Unforgiven

Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a *****! You just shot an unarmed man!

Will Munny: Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.

I think he's a good actor. Not great, but good. Although he may be a better director.

Wow! I haven't followed this thread closely, but it sure has turned negative.

My take is quite a bit different: I think Clint Eastwood is one of the best actors

of our time. He has worked in many films well distanced from his "Dirty Harry"

persona. This was a great film, but others have been just as good.

Grand Torino is Two Thumbs Up!

8-)

this is on my list.

would much rather spend my money on clint as i had keanu.

as a side note, i actually owned a gran torino...but it was the original '69 model, not the later model shown in the film.

...GET...OFF....MY....LAWN !

Classic Eastwood.

I thought Gran Torino was the best movie I have seen in some time.

The best part about was there were no computer special effects.

Just a good story and a few lessons, and a surprising sad ending.

I saw the Day the earth stood still with Reeves and Connelly.

I thought the movie was crap. To much PC'ness and cheap computer

animation. The story was altered from the original as well.

Save your $$ on this one.

your not the first i've heard say this.

first saw the original "day" in 1956.

i was mesmerized.

saw it again the other day on tmc...outside of the hokey acting on the army parts, it still held the same fascination.

sad, when movie execs think they can replace heart with pizzazz.

I just watched Gran Torino and thought Clint was great, as always.  Who else plays a tough guy role as natural as him?  I hope he stays around to make/act more movies.

According to IMDB.com there is more Clint coming...

I don't think so.  "Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"

"You gonna skin that smoke wagon, or just stand there and bleed?"

The even better movie quote from Tombstone ;D

We just saw it-two thumbs up.

;D    Goodnight Irene.... :

Saw it and would now like those 2 hours of my life back please...

Thought the story was bland. The ending especially killed it for me. Reminded me of a re-tooled American History X, which I personally think was a phenomenal film, but Gran Torino doesn't even touch American History X as far as I'm concerned.
