Fact mets fiction, but where was the line drawn? Pretty good, but something of a marathon. On the plus side the Garrison closing address was gripping, but some other aspects, such as the cliched, soft focused wife struggling with her husband's obsession just grated. Much too long for a second go too soon.

Put aside whether or not you agree with the 'facts', JFK is a remarkably well made film, with a dynamite cast who are all excellent. The editing, wardrobe, set pieces and direction are all outstanding. It blows my mind as to how you could even begin to work out how to make a movie that is this complex and epic, but Stone does it excellently. The key scene at the end is one of the best courtroom speeches in film.

Historical accuracy aside, this is an exceptionally well-crafted court room thriller. One of the finest in the genre.

Too long, pretentious and strident, but there are so many good performances in here that I like it anyway.

Too many fucking quotes.

What an unbelievable story. I do not know if everything is true. Many topactors played in this long and intresting movie. Nevertheless it was hard to follow this movie 3 hours long.

Loses points for being historically inaccurate.

Back, and to the left. It's overlong and gets boring at times, but the court room drama is brilliant. (I really hope no one thinks this movie is anything more than fiction).

One of the best edited films of all time; Stone is at the top of his technical game here, seamlessly weaving together archive footage, newscasts and re-enactments into the presentation. It's so slick that the ridiculous conspiracy theory seems completely plausible, on top of reinforcing the Camelot myth for a good deal of those who watched this. JFK wouldn't have ended the Cold War singlehandedly had he lived, but he would have made napalming Vietnamese villages a little more classy.
