It is difficult either to recommend it or tell anyone to avoid it. If you like spy flicks, then it isn&#146t a bad one; if they bore you then it is likely it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~373266419332 Fri, 8 Jun 2007 11:06:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_373266419332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_367439875716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tiger62x - I wanted to love this because of the cast, and because of Matt Damon. Matt Damon as Edward Wilson, is proving that of the breakthrough team (of he and Ben Afflek), he is the one with the truely gifted acting chops. It's hard to take your eyes off of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~367439875716 Sat, 26 May 2007 22:01:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_367439875716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_359957696132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoyoteWoman - Many of the trailer’s market this as a great “Spy” movie and many viewers walk away upset, claiming that the movie is not at all like the ‘Coming Attractions’ would have them believed. I must agree, this is indeed the case; however, my response to this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~359957696132 Thu, 10 May 2007 11:49:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_359957696132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_348721090180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nnjmom - The Good Shepherd is directed by Robert De Niro and has an all-star cast, including Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Joe Pesci, John Turturro, and Billy Crudup. I was very excited to review this movie based on these facts alone... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~348721090180 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 20:24:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_348721090180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_310108720772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mongkut - I&#146ve put off writing this review for several weeks as I wasn&#146t sure how I wanted to approach it. As a theatrical piece I have one set of opinions and as to the subject matter I have yet another. This was not an easy movie to sit through due to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~310108720772 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 14:21:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_310108720772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_306898112132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beefchop - IntroductionI am not a casual movie goer. There are two factors that compel me to see a film in theaters: passion or price. Either the previews have awoken some insane lust to see the picture at the opening, or the $3 matinee in Baltimore... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~306898112132 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:15:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_306898112132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_306668539524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author videodude - For what it's worth, I did enjoy The Good Shepherd but it is indeed, a movie that warrants a second viewing. Although I've noticed the majority of reviews toward this movie are on a negative side, I'm going to respectfully disagree. Although there is one... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~306668539524 Mon, 15 Jan 2007 21:45:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_306668539524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_301639700100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thewasp - "The Good Shepherd" has as its subject the first 22 years of the adult life of Edward Wilson (Matt Damon), who goes from a promising Yale undergrad to willing-but-unhappy husband and father to top spy. As with most people, the first 22 years of Wilson's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~301639700100 Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:22:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_301639700100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_303928479364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author obijuan1 - Let's just put it this way, I left midway through the movie to get a drink. Coming back 15 minutes later, I was right back where I was, because I still didn't know who was who, why we cared about who, and nothing had progressed in the plot. This is a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~303928479364 Tue, 9 Jan 2007 18:59:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_303928479364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_300478992004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stactom - This review reveals some major plot detains in the analysis of the film. The opening sentence in David Denby&#146s review of &#147The Good Shepherd&#148 in the December 25 issue of The New Yorker is a bit startling. Denby&#146s writes that &#147In... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~300478992004 Tue, 2 Jan 2007 11:12:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_300478992004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_300473814660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author judchris - I still don't understand what happened in most of the key parts. Definitely interesting, well acted and worth three hours of time, but I'm pretty educated and was lost by the second scene. I don't really understand the necessity of jumping around in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~300473814660 Tue, 2 Jan 2007 10:50:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_300473814660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_299762552452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jackai - I wonder if filmmakers harbor the misguided notion that the longer their film runs, the more epic gravitas it lends their oeuvre. Phooey. Judicious editing could have greatly benefited &#147The Good Shepherd&#148, the latest film directed by Robert... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299762552452 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 19:52:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299762552452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_299395550852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nickle9 - This is a movie that forces one to think. I will have to get the DVD as I need to review slower. The plot evolves slowly, but the timing of events is so disconnected that it seems like it is 1941 or 1961 in the same scene. Matt Damon did not "age" in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299395550852 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 00:02:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299395550852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297212415620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author reneesaint - This movie was tedious...none of the characters were human enough for one to care about , the story line was slow and easily forseable, the moralizing was pointless. I had hoped for a thought provoking movie on part of America's history and got a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297212415620 Wed, 27 Dec 2006 07:54:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297212415620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297528495748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wdallenfan - Angelina and Matt should be ashamed of themselves. This was the longest drawn out movie I have seen in a long time. If I had a remote with fast forward I could have used it without missing a thing in the plot. Awful, awful,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297528495748 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 23:13:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297528495748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297424293508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ladyconsumer - I can hear the critics now... "Too long". "Too boring". "Too many characters/too much going on - couldn't follow it". That's usually what I hear when a movie such as The Good Shepherd comes out. Make no mistake, this is a LONG movie (160... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297424293508 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 18:21:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297424293508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_296048299652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - "You're the guys that scare me.

Despite an all star cast of actors (including, but not limited to Matt Damon as Edward Wilson, Angelina Jolie as his wife Clover AKA... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~294575050372 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:28:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_294575050372?linkin_id=8003929
