What a wonderful movie. A+ baby. Top notch stuff and if you think Christoph Walz was great in "Inglorious Basterds," wait 'til you get a load of him in this one playing the screwball August, owner of the circus. I'm not here to tell you the plot because you can pick up that info from a ton of websites including IMDb but instead to tell you the film's overall impact. JUST GREAT, thank you. Pattinson,although somewhat stiff, is adequate and anything Reese Witherspoon is in is top-of-the-line but Walz, comes Feb.'12, will be awaiting his 2nd Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. And how 'bout Rosy the elephant? Talk about some fine acting. Man can she blow one heck of a trumpet. An elephant being the key to this whole movie? Unthinkable but true. It's a remarkable picture and those critics who are panning it must be off their rockers. It's thoroughly enjoyable. Don't miss it.

Reese Witherspoon has never been lovelier in this excellent 1930s period piece about life in the circus. This movie is first-class entertainment. The story is riveting; the acting is strong; the dialog is snappy and the cast outstanding. Robert Pattison proves that he a major star who can carry a movie. The director makes excellent use of the flashback in unfolding the story, in a manner similar to that used to great effect in Titanic, and one is soon engrossed in the lives of characters. Christoph Waltz again proves that he is magnificent actor. But it is Reese Witherspoon who is the real star of this movie. She is stunningly beautiful and her performance is magnificent. She is the epitome of cinematic perfection. And as for the other stars, the animals, their performances are outstanding too, which is a tribute to their trainers. Congratulations are in order for them. This movie is well worth watching.

one of films who impress. for the ordinaries sparkles - costumes, recreation of the air of past, young actors and an animal who becomes axis of a story from the circus universe. for the joy of justice. and for a sweet, dramatic, impossible love story. but, more important, for the science to preserve the spirit of novel, recreate a world who becomes inspired mix of the childhood memories, cruel challenges of life and the meet who change everything. America in crisis has a seductive portrait in this film about a long travel to the happiness. sure, it is a good state to discover Robert Pattinson escaping from the cage of Twilight series and doing more than a decent job. but the star is Christoph Waltz who gives great nuances to his August. so, see it !

I rated this movie a 10!... Then I read pages and pages of reviews, and saw videos on how the elephant was really treated. Some people will get angry and write in opposition. This is mainly because you hate to believe that this can actually happen. And I too am so let down and in disbelief. It is such a sick world we live in. Most people who can afford pets have one. A lot of those people don't treat them right, but most do and they love their pet with all their heart. I don't know how other people, sick demented humans can live their life- wake up everyday and do the things they do. I wonder where Tai/Rosie is now? Did the actors see the videos? I have to think they did. Have they commented? WILL they take a stand? Will they be advised not to? Or paid off? I am so saddened over this... What can we do? :(

This film had the potential to be very successful, because of the creativity of the novel. This potential was met despite all of my skepticism. The acting is impressive and very well cast. This unique story was brought to life in a creative and realistic manner. While this film is very much geared towards women, it can be a pleasant surprise to most audience members. It makes you apart of a world that is completely different and unknown to us today. If you are looking for a whimsical story of illusion and survival, Water for Elephants is the film to see. See it! http://burningreview.blogspot.com/

I haven't read the novel this movie's based on but certainly, the story is moving, tender, and should be enjoyed by those who are into love stories. The circus setting is fantastic because it truly displays how these places work. The Rosie character could be considered as a metaphor of Whiterspoon's character's life. Christoph Waltz steals the show in a rude manner. The man is a fantastic actor. Pattinson demonstrates he's a talented young actor while Whiterspoon plays herself and it always works. The situations could be labeled as endearing, tragical, romantic, cruel, and overall heart warming. Hal Halbrook also demonstrates he's a top actor.

Well, maybe that's because it's the only circus movie I can think of off the top of my head. But nonetheless, a great film. It's the perfect length, the perfect amount of action, the perfect mix of drama and comic relief, and overall, it's got a good story. Really well put together. For the type of movie it is, it's really quite impressive. I mean, obviously it's not the most exciting story in the world. It's a story of a troubled man who finds work and falls in love at the circus. But even with that limited plot, the filmmakers did an excellent job of bringing the movie to life and making you feel like you're part of the scene. It's definitely near the top of my list as far as 2011 movies go, but I don't expect it to be much of a classic. I'm thinking it'll turn into one of those movies that time just blows over into obscurity, but if discovered by a new generation, they'd definitely enjoy it. With love, Simba Jackson

This movie offers nothing new. It's a typical love triangle with the angle of being set in the 30s in a travelling circus. Also, I didn't care to see animals being mistreated on screen. This was so cliché: young boy, Jacob, joins circus and falls for wife of circus owner whom just happens to have a temper and loses it sometimes. Also, he thinks nothing of throwing people off the train that he can't pay. But for some reason, the wife, Marlena, acts like she really loves him. So, you know what's going to happen. There will be several scenes of Jacob and Marlena sharing intimate moments, and of August being mean. And you know August won't just let Marlena leave and there will be conflict at the end and someone won't make it. FINAL VERDICT: It's too long, but Rob Pattison does look cute in this. So if you are a fan of his, you'll probably like it; otherwise, skip it.

I doubt that any movie made today could look much better than "Water for Elephants'" Cinematography, direction, sets, performances, editing - all combine to tell a surprisingly powerful and ultimately humane tale of hardship, loss and of finding oneself - amid the wreckage of humanity at its worst and best. While not so sure I'm comfortable with the Elephants crucial contribution toward the finale (no dispersions towards Rosie she was superb!) just the timing of it all. (that's personal of course) The idea of the old man telling his compelling life story to the young Circus manager is inspired and well worthy of several viewings. An excellent drama with an accent on human adventure and endeavour - easily recommended to a wide ranging audience, covering all ages.
