Not too shabby based from the trailer, looks like a good movie to watch.

I've liked most of the movies Affleck has directed and I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

sons Affleck has proven to be a great director and his acting has improved as well. he is 2 for 2 with Gone Baby Gone and The Town. I'm looking forward to this one as well.

hell even the critics have loved his work. Rotten Tomatoes scores ...

Gone Baby Gone - 94%

The Town - 94%

pace drags, too many empty calorie side scenes. Also too many minutes created just to give mug time to longtime Phonywood actors.

3/4ths of the way thru it finally sheds it's snail outfit and gets pretty good.
Ending without a doubt Hollywooded up for effect but that's okay.

Much better suited to dvd at home imo.

You do know it all really happened, right? did you want them to change it so they all die or something?

It all really happened?
I don't believe everything on Wiki, but I'm gonna go with this being accurate:
"The movie is based loosely on former Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez's historical account..."

What exactly did you expect to happen? Affleck to take out a machine gun and kill 60 guards, giving the hostages enough time
to get onto the plane, sacrificing himself for the people etc par the course?

I guess a Latino wasn't good enough to play a Latino role. Ben Affleck as "Antonio Mendez" lol

Saw it last week. Worth my free gift card. Also probably worth student or matinee admission price

Good but not as good as The Town. The Town is a masterpiece in my opinion. I think one of the reasons why The Town is a great movie is the cast and characters. Argo is good but the characters aren't as powerful as the ones in The Town. In Argo, Ben Affleck carries the movie.

Very good movie if you don't go in expecting an action filled flick.

Additionally the "Argo f yourself" joke may have been okay the 1st time.
The 16th and 17th times? Beyond Beaviss and Butthead stoopid.
