I just saw it and it was very suspenseful, well-acted, intriguing plot, and Denzel was fabulous!
The last 30 minutes just kept you on the edge of your seat----how on earth could it end?!? It was a LOT different than the original.
Anyone see it yet?
Pat
Oh Pat, I'm so glad to hear that the movie is worth seeing. I've been waiting for it to come out for about 6 months! I haven't seen the original movie but I think I might just see if I can rent it before seeing the remake.
Craig and I went to the movies this afternoon and saw Bourne Supremacy...I liked it better than the first one Bourne Identify and recommend it. Today it was a toss up as to what we were going to see and he wanted to see this one first which means next weekend another movie date!
Kate
Hi Kate,
I saw Bourne Supremacy last week and really enjoyed it--even better than the first one. Manchurian Candidate was every bit as suspenseful, if not more! Meryl Streep was chilling!
Pat
Oh cool I love Meryl Streep, she is one of the few really convincing actresses around. Gosh can't wait to see it.
Tell me will it ruin the movie for me if I watch the original one first?
Kate
I saw The Village today, but I think we might go see Manchurian Candidate tomorrow.. I loves me some Denzel.
I had my ex-JW aunt visiting the last couple of days and we watched the first Manchurian Candidate. Rather interesting issues regarding mind control and brainwashing - some parallels to what the JWs do to people although some of the mind control stuff was a tad unrealistic. Now I want to see the new version
My real name is Jason Bourne, and I kick ass!
Kate and I are gonna rent the original Manchurian Candidate (gosh, it's been like 30? years since I last saw it), and next weekend, another date at the movies (not so much popcorn this time, though ).
And then I'll make Kate watch Forbidden Planet.

Oooolala!
Kate (of the payback is a *itch class)
I am looking forward to seeing this movie, looks awesome.
www.rottentomatoes.com has this thing called the "tomato-meter" where they score a movie based on the number of good reviews it has received, and this movie has one of the highest scores I've seen.
Kate,
Just remember this.....HeBrews! LOLOLOLOL
(Betcha don't remember that one)?!
