My friends and I were pleasantly surprised by this movie. It was not what I expected as I thought it'd be more of an action movie but it was a lot better than expected. I didn't know it was based on a true story and I'm sure a lot of it is exaggerated but it got me interested in that story that I actually didn't know about. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year.

I saw Argo for a second time on Sunday morning and liked it even better. At the first screening was taken aback by the 'Brits and Kiwis' comment which I knew to be false and thought Affleck was a little stiff. I can't imagine what reason there was for changing history but aparantly it was supposed to build up more tension. On Sunday I left my 'true to facts' syndrome at home and thought the film was actually quite good and even liked Afflecks acting. 8/10

I think the film is very well directed, so I will give Ben Affleck an extra point (7+1)/10

Good film, really enjoyed it and it seemed that the whole of the cinema thought the same.

I watched this film on Sunday in a very full Brixton Ritzy picturehouse.
The film started around 11:15 after 15 minutes of trailers.

I absolutely loved this film, at times I was laughing out loud and at other times on pure tenterhooks & biting my lips in anticipation. It was a well balanced & well directed film based on a true story. Well done to Ben Affleck for directing it and George Clooney for producing it. 8/10
