A pretty good movie but it was a little slow. The story was ok and the acting was descent.
If one needs a bio for a term paper on Mr. Hover, Then this is the one to rent. Otherwise its just that......a very good bio. Rent anything esle for... entertainment. While this movie, (as all Clint Movies) is really well done and Leonardo does a great acting job, Its just not that entertaining. Full Review
Not many redeeming qualities in this film. I was extremely dissatified with the storyline. The makeup was pitiful. I found myself asking \"how... o they know any of this crap was said, or happened anywhere close to what was depicted in the movie?\". I had come to expect more from a Clint Eastwood directed movie.

Worst movie I saw in years. Very confusing. No real plot. Poor script. Totally disappointed.
My grandfather was one of J. Edgar Hoover's closest associates and right hand men. My father, his son, was also an FBI agent. I think they would both... have a cow if they saw this film. Hoover was not gay (an neither was my grandfather) I have a feeling that this movie, like so many others is just full of fantasy, crap, made up nonsense, slanderous rumors and conspiracy. Its too bad that this generation has become so disrespectful and full of cynicism regarding the history of this country. It is tragic that young people do not know real history, but only junk history, made up Hollywood.history. Full Review

J. Edgar is a somber, enigmatic, darkly fascinating tale, and how could it be otherwise?Full Review
As a period biopic, J. Edgar is masterful. Few films span seven decades this comfortably.Full Review
Mr. Eastwood doesn't just shift between Hoover's past and present, his intimate life and popular persona, he also puts them into dialectic play, showing repeatedly how each informed the other.Full Review
J. Edgar shines a probing beam of light on a man who was widely feared, often disliked, but rarely understood.Full Review
Even when the film trips on its tall ambitions, you can't shake it off.Full Review
