Gordon M The critics are, as usual, snooty and out of touch. We should review them and see how long they last. This film is not perfect, but it does things that a lot of well-reviewed popcorn flicks could never do. It has unique and unexpected settings. It has consideration for tactics. Fundamentally, it shows the discovery of a shared dream, pitted against petty ambition. Considering all of the ridiculous and empty big budget comic movies out there, this is successfully touching and wholesome. If you don't like this movie, then by all means, enjoy your precious Aaron Aronofsky films with their stellar reviews. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Neil C I don't understand how the film was so poorly recieved by the critics. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the story is solid, the post apocalyptic world they created was interesting and as always Kevin Costner was spot on. He's the only John Wayne left in that town. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Rita N I think The Postman is a great movie about hope. I loved rewatching it. I believe it's your personal choice what you take away from it. It seems everyone is just so over critical these days. Love it or leave it. I love it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review B B This movie hits hard considering shipping lobbyists, Congress, and DeJoy are ready to tear down the United States Postal Service and eliminate the USPS entirely from our country. They have forced the USPS to add a new line item to fund a retirement fund for non-existent employees for up to 75 yrs which placed it in the red. The USPS was able to raise enough funds from the public to meet the deadline and avoid shutdown. Once DeJoy took over the USPS, he started selling off sorting machines and other necessary equipment, forcing mail carriers to unhealthy levels of work in all sorts of weather conditions, including triple digit heat, private shipping companies foisting their packages and heavy boxes onto the USPS mail carriers, so they could cut costs to their bottom line and take out their competition. The private shipping companies also cutting out rural areas and foisting their mail onto the USPS, because once the private shipping companies put USPS out of commission, they private shipping companies will eliminate those areas entirely from their area of interest to ship. People will be forced to go without medical care and life-saving medications. But worse, they want to cut lines of communication and support to rural and hard to access areas, cut supplies to children, the disabled, and the elderly, our most vulnerable members of society members. Now with the trifecta of Republican politicians in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, the shipping company lobbyists and corrupt Legislators in the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress are chomping at the bit for Jan 6th 2025, so that they can eliminate the USPS entirely. I feel like this is a horror movie I'm living in, but I can't just walk out of the theater this time, and be removed from this nightmare. This surreal but this is real life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Derek S Reading several reviews from critics I can’t imagine how they got their title. I’m not sure if their attention spans are too short, or if they are simply unable to enjoy any decent movie. This post apocalyptic action/drama is better than waterworld and mad max. Putting yourself in the shoes of someone living in a wasteland it’s not hard to imagine why simply being able to connect with friends/relatives who have been scattered across the country would give you hope, but apparently the critics can’t understand that. This film is very well acted, good dialogue, good story, and good effects. If you are someone who likes movies (including long ones) I highly suggest you watch this movie. 7/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review A.J. F I'm always amazed at the "critics" so obviously jaded by the years of watching movies every day, and then we're supposed to automatically agree with their opinions, cuz they just know better.🥱 Yeah right! This movie had action, comedy, tragedy, romance and I found it totally entertaining. The only minor criticism I might have had of this movie was that it was a bit long, but even that was okay IMO. Guess I'm just old fashioned, cuz I still like to see the good guys still make mistakes (cuz they're not super heroes) but still kill the bad guys in the end. Great flick! I have it in my "liberry." This just reminded me to dig it out and watch it again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
