I think all the Daytime soaps had better acting and production values then this slob.
I was captured by the great cinematography, good acting, the architecture, the scenery and the nostalgic life style of the times were beautifully... rtrayed. I enjoyed the movie. Full Review
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I did not agree with the choice of actors, I didn't know if this movie was to be a drama or a... dy. The characters were not developed. The best part of the movie was the last 10 minutes and the scenery. Overall it was a very disappointing movie. Full Review
People who felt like they were being preached to or that the movie was un-american are probably just in shock from hearing an equal-footed... on of the facts about our current sitiation in the middle east. The right was represented by an eloquent Tom Cruise, the left by Robert Redford and the undecided or the future by the kid in his office. Each presented his opinion equaly so if you are in shock from hearing the best bs the conservative has while two soldiers carry out its dirty work shocked you, il help you out: if you felt like the movie was slanted left then you either didnt get the movie at all or are one of the 5 guys who accounts for bush's approval rating.

Despite the "unbelievable aging" the movie for me was interesting. NO movie is perfect, so why do you people focus on what the movie acually says.... I'll have you know that this movie was shot in Columbia and they locals do the hair and make-up to make it more authentic. They didn't want to fuss over all of that glitz-n-glamour that people think makes a movie! This movie is a prime example of what truly makes a great film! Full Review

Shot on location in vibrant Cartagena, the film's strong suit is aesthetic. Cinematographer Alfonso Beato, designer Wolf Kroeger and costume designer Marit Allen evoke aged exotic locales, rugged rural settings and dimly lit period interiors. A closing, aerial image has a breathtaking, spiritual beauty.Full Review
Despite a magnificent performance by Javier Bardem, the film not only falls short of the novel's magic, but fails to generate much of its own.Full Review
Lush, extravagant, sad and touching, Love in the Time of Cholera still feels weirdly insubstantial when all the febrile passion has abated. Like a fever it breaks, passes and is forgotten.Full Review
Newell's rendering of the iconic novel is dull and creatively off-kilter, lacking the surreal magic and robust passion of Mrquez's signature magical realism style and never fully engaging the viewer.Full Review
Newell's film arrives loaded with problems. The most superficial, but undeniably distracting, involves the way characters age at different rates and under makeup of varying believability.Full Review
