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 romance 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.

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.

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

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

This is the rare movie that blends long scenes of meticulous research with a sweeping story and sustains a feeling of riveting suspense. Zodiac grips you by the throat and doesn't let go. Full Review

To undertake a thriller of this length and scope with no prospect of a morally satisfying resolution, Fincher must have been a little nuts himself. We'll see whether audiences used to the tidy one-hour cases on "CSI" and "Law & Order" will follow him down Zodiac's murky, twisted, and ultimately dead-end street. It may not sound like it from that description, but it's a hell of a ride. Full Review

The length and uneven pacing are stumbling blocks with which an audience must contend. Patient viewers will be rewarded; others may wish for something with less subtlety and more verve. Full Review

The film feels self-obsessed, an intriguing drama that slowly devolves into a bleak meditation on the absence of dramatics. Full Review

Zodiac is primarily a complex character study, despite the film's grim and gruesome subject matter. It's a role reversal of sorts for a director who normally emphasizes the brutal tension in his movies. Full Review
