Gran Torino

Best movie I've seen in a while! Very very good movie. I highly suggest you to go out and see it. Clint Eastwood is amazing in the movie and the ending is a bit of a suprise but it all makes since as to why he did it. What'd everyone else who has saw it think?

I'm going to see this sometime this week. The only negative reviews it got on rottentomatoes.com where from the far left liberals.

And what'd they say about it? The only negative thing I could say about this movie is if your Asian or Black (really only one scene in the movie) you might be a little offended. But honestly I loved the movie. And yeah I liked how he man'd the kid up too. Its a great story. Its long but its not like its drug out. I think this might be Clint Eastwoods last movie..just something about the ending that tells me in figurative language it could be his last movie.

The movie was really good. He did manage to use racial slurs for at least 6 ethnicities. I'm very surprised the ACLU, NAACP, etc have not been more vocal about this movie. Clint Eastwood looked VERY OLD though... I was a little surprised since I haven't seen him in anything for a while. He did still kick some *** though!!

I loved the movie. Watched it yesterday and I couldn't stop laughing for the most part. Ending was a shock, I definitely wasn't thinking that was going to happen. But I couldn't believe all the profiling it did, it was insane!! I want to watch it again!

Just came back from seeing "Gran Torino", great flick except for the depressing ending! Glad that "Toad" got that car instead of the spoiled BYTCH!.....All in all great movie!........

The ending was the best part in my opinion. Not because of what happened because its not what you expect. Its not like a great movie then horible ending. Its not the way a Clint Eastwood movie is suppose to end which i agree. You know going into the end of the Movie right before it happened you knew what was going to happen, you just don't expect it to turn out the way it does.

Post kinda makes no sense to someone who hasn't watched it yet. I just didn't want to ruin the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it already. IMO Gran Torino is right up there with the movie Antwan Fisher for me..

I actually liked the ending, and to me it also kinda signified the end of his acting career also, since this is his last acting role.
