I think the critics did too much contract and comparison and missed the point on this powerful movie. My opinion is that Hillary did a magnificient job on this flick. The story line could have been ... a bit more creative with the ending. Those of us that were born during the 2nd WW recall lots of theories. Lindberg and Erhart were household names (eventhough she was missing and presumed dead). Full Review

Write your review here.By far the best film I've ever seen. True to form, and the film left us all wondering where Amelia really ended up... A question that has ech... oed through the ages. Hilary Swank I believe was fantastic in this film.. I couldn't get enough of her and the way she carried herself, made me believe she was Amelia Earhart. I hope to see more of Hilary Swank, fantastic!!!.. Full Review

Very boring movie - one note. Too many shots of HIlary Swank - not interesting enough to carry the movie. Slow ... boring... a disappointment. Tivo it instead.

Okay for someone who isn't interested in a story based on facts. Great photography and interesting costumes from that period. Too bad this piece of fluff didn't try to portray a more accurate story ... of a truly great woman flyer. Full Review

Most of all, Earhart wanted to be able to fly free as a bird above the clouds, and director Nair and star Swank make her quest not only understandable but truly impressive.Full Review

A perfectly sound biopic, well directed and acted, about an admirable woman. It confirmed for me Earhart's courage -- not only in flying, but in insisting on living her life outside the conventions of her time for well-behaved females. The next generation of American women grew up in her slipstream.Full Review

Inside Amelia is a sharp idea struggling to get out: How does a woman marketed to the public as a star turn herself back into a human being? And at what cost?Full Review

This movie was made to be shown to junior high history classes, not audiences in a movie theater.Full Review
