I do not understand why people are downplaying this movie. I thought it was extremly good, yes long but good. The acting alone was astounding and the story was better than some silly, predictable ro... mance that the public keeps watching. All in all in my opinon very good eye opener but not a movie you want to sit down with the family and have a quick easy movie to watch, period. Full Review
This was the most BORING movie I have ever seen. Knowing history, I knew going in they would not find a killer. But to sit there and watch somebody's obsession to find the killer, for over two hours... , was truly mind numbing. Saying that, The only reason critcs give such a high rating "these days" to a movie like that is because of the calaber of actors involved. They are legends in their own minds.... Full Review
This was "3 DOSER" on the "DOSE RATING SYSTEM" as I dozed off 3 times. I remember how Zodiac gripped California. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP THE EMOST SENSATIONAL SERIAL MURDER STORY IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY!?!... Film NEVER captures the "feel" of the time. The murders never capture the full horror of the moment. Jake G. is surface all the way. Downing, for the most part, does his "Downing thing", i.e., hyper quirky, and the performance feels gimmicky and seems to serve a comic relief function save for his last few scenes, which feel way more meaty. The cops - Edwards, Ruffalo, Koteas- Do all give very good, believable perfomances. But the filmmakers choose formulaic approaches to situations that could have used a different tact, and what rolls out is boringly predictable. A thoroughly forgettable film, I was HUGELY disappointed. The filmmakers absolutely failed in their obligation to reduce the book down to the best screen telling of the story. For nearly 3 hours, it felt like insult after insult added to injury. At a paltry 32 million worldwide gross one month after release, it looks like the audiences agree. And considering the studio plunked down 65 mil in production costs, I think they are inclined to as well. Full Review
This was a long, confusing movie. You will leave the theater, not knowing what the film was about. You will leave unsatisfied. I was very excited going in to this blockbuster. I was very disappointed ... coming out. Full Review

Its most impressive accomplishment is to gather a bewildering labyrinth of facts and suspicions over a period of years, and make the journey through this maze frightening and suspenseful.Full Review

Zodiac is the rare serial-killer movie in which the psychosis stems as much from the pursuers (and the filmmaker) as the pursued.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Zodiac never veers from its stoically gripping, police-blotter tone, yet it begins to take on the quality of a dream.Full Review

Conveying an astonishing array of information across a long narrative arc while still maintaining dramatic rhythm and tension, this adaptation of Robert Graysmith's bestseller reps by far director David Fincher's most mature and accomplished work.Full Review
