Really enjoyed the film although they got the 'German' trains completely wrong in the opening scenes showing us a British class 9f which wasn't built until the 1950s and a British LMS black 5. I know that sounds a bit nerdy but come on they spend hundreds and thousands of dollars making these films and it's not that hard to get hold of a German 1940s train!! Sloppy film making!! Anyway apart from that thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Not sure why Hunter only gives the film 2 stars and then goes on to tell us what a great film it is!!! Got me a bit confused with that. Anyway I really enjoyed the film. I grew up in the 60s and so saw the movie when it first came out and loved it back then. This new version is not better and its not worse its just a fresh take and I think it was a great idea to remake it.

Didn't like the film. Not much more to say.

Love this film so much. Can't believe it's 25 years old. OK it's slushy and mushy but so what, I think we could all do with a bit of that these days. I thought the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant really worked and was totally believable and the rest of the cast were brilliant.

A beautiful little film shot in the lovely Somerset countryside. A very large slice of film nostalgia. A look back at a simpler age.

The tv series was consistently very funny but for some reason the movie wasn't funny at all which was a pity.

One of my favourite films although I always felt Redford was miscast. A better choice would have been Charles Dance to play the part of the upper class Englishman Finch Hatton. Redford made no attempt to put on a British accent. Apart from that it's a brilliant film with wonderful panoramic views of Africa which sometimes reminded me of David Lean films. The music of John Barry was truly wonderful and those opening scenes of the train travelling across that vaste landscape accompanied by that beautiful music always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck!! Truly mesmeric.

Enjoyed it. Not much more to say not being a film critic!!!

In the early scenes of the film we're shown a British soldier running down a street in Dunkirk. No sign of damage done to the buildings. All looked pristine with no attempt to make anything look as it would have done in the forties. Later we have a panning shot along the the sea front of the town and what do we see but modern street lighting. Beach scenes seem to be lacking soldiers, we glimpse just a few lines of them. If you want to see a film that really depicts the reality of Dunkirk at that time watch Atonement. Oh and a spitfire or a hurricane could not land on a beach.

Anyone notice the beautifully preserved British train pulling beautifully preserved British red coaches through idyllic English countryside and posing as a Bolivian beat up railway in Bolivia. Cut to inside of train where we find Bolivian peasants seated near our heroes!!! Honestly such a glaring mistake. Even if you know nothing about trains you can obviously see they've just taken a bit of footage from a UK preserved line and stuck it in the film!! Stopped watching the film after this early scene
