The Guardian Movie Review Message Board and Comments

Does anybody know what kind of green Arctic Parka he is always wearing in the Guardian ? Pool Guy

What idiot spells out the ending to a movie!! I was looking at reviews to decide on whether I should rent this, and now there is no point cos you have given the ending away. Get a brain!

this movie was awsome!! so that guy that wrote the report should lern to say some more positive things...the ending i thought was good because is was unexpected and it was a good ending because it like related to the storie cause fish boy said"""i wont let go"" which is wwhat randall saidto the other guy that he took back when the winch jammed!!! soo that reporter guy should shut up and and be a bit moe positve cause that movie was AWSOME..it made me laugh, fell sorry fo the people, and cry!!

Ok, I completely disagree with the dude who wrote this review. I'm sick of goin online and seeing such bad reviews for this awesome movie. I just bought it on DVD and It's like, one of my favorite movies. & I didn't even know that Kevin Costner was ganna die on the end. So really, it's not that predictable. The ending was real sad, I cried. And it sucked to see my hubby [Kevin Costner] give up his life. But I think both Kevin & Ashton did wonderful in this movie. Screw all the haterz=]

WHO CARES ABOUT THE ENDING? ASHTON IS SUCH GREAT EYE CANDY, ESPECIALLY SHIRTLESS!

I absoulutly loved this movie. It had a great ending. I honestly didnt see that coming i thought that ashton would hold kostner all the way to the base or whatever cuz in the middle of the movie when the lady said this is one record you will never break i figure that he would hold him. i cried so hard in the end but i love the movie its my all time favorite i want to become a rescue swimmer now. lol.

I also disagree completely with your review.. The Guardian was a really good film and was a good comeback for Ashton=) Although the ending WAS predictable it still made me (and i think everyone else in the cinema) cry. The relationship between student(Kutcher) and teacher(Costner) was really nice to see forming and totally beleivable. All in all a great film and anyone who reads this must not listen to the above review=D

I did,nt appreciate the 'grandmother' comment in this forum. I think I'm old enough,and objective enough,to rate films ; far more so,than many movie critics. Just because I happen to like Kevin,does,nt mean I liked all his movies. He does a better job in a film,when he does'nt overact ;i.e: Upside of Anger,Message in a Bottle,For Love of The Game,to name a few. If more people were as thoughtful,intelligent,warm hearted like Kevin,this would be a better world.

I also disagree with this review, and the reviewer. My husband is not a great Costner fan, although he loved Field of Dreams, 13 Days (way underappreciated), JFK, The Untouchables, Fandango, Dances With Wolves, Upside of Anger...geeze, this guy has made some GREAT movies)and he was as captivated by The Guardian as I was. It is some of Costner's best work, and Kutcher was very believable as the water "brat" who makes good. And, I am NOT an Ashton Kutcher fan! We did think the ending went on too long, and should have stopped at the first "turn." But, having said that, it was heartstopping, and the audience we saw it with, at a Sneak Preview, all loved the film, as noted by the clapping at appropriate spots and the end, and the laughs, when appropriate. We did hear an old lady eschew the film, as she was leaving with her pal, but her friend liked it a lot, and so did we. This critic, like many, seems to have it in for Kevin Costner, after his failed marriage and Water World. YOu can just name the "date" that Hollywood gave up on him, and have never let him forget it! But, he has made many good films since then, and one of my famorite was For Love of the GAme, which passed with little notice, but remains one of my favorites and that of my 23 year old daughter too. It had everything in it! The only thing I would have changed is Kelly Preston as the"girl". It needed a more mature actress for the part, but, even she has grown on me in the role. I have watched it many times, and the baseball scenes are great, John C. Reilly is wonderful, his coach, the story line... Give it up critics! The Costner fans are still out there, and we LOVE him and his work. The Guardian is an exciting film, with worthy performances. Get over it...and go see it folks! You won't be disappointed and the critics will just have to find another actor to savage the way they do Kevin...

This film was not worth paying full price for a ticket. Better to wait and rent it on DVD. The film was very slow and the ending was predictable. Costner after 25 years of acting, still can't act his way out of a cardboard box. Costner fans will love this movie, but it's only because they are Costner fans. The rest of us are merely disappointed.

I completely disagree with all those who said this movie stunk! I saw it for my fourteenth birthday and it was GREAT! The best...touching...so real....sad...funny...shocking....I can't believe somebody would say something so mean and untrue about this movie! kevin Costner is the greatest man alive...and this movie IS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!

Grandma's love Costner, but I don't think it has anything to do with his acting. Save your money and miss this turkey. Hollywood has run out of original films and The Guardian is a carbon copy of half a dozen of them. Costner does better, but he still's wooden and lacks emotion. Kutcher is watchable. The hype of this film was over blown for the final results. Good DVD rental but not worth trekking to the theater to see.

This film was an over kill. I agree with the writer. It was a blend of Top Gun and An Officer and a Gentleman. Very cliche. It would make a good DVD rental though. I suggest saving your money and renting it when it comes out. Does anyone really like Costner's acting?

Although a love-sick fan of Kevin Costner [a grandmother to boot!!],I am a film's worst nightmare. I am completely objective,and I know a 'stinker' when I see one. This movie was anything but. I will also say,it was one of his best acting roles. He's had a few bombs in his 25 year career,but for the past few years,I think he finally acts in films that let him be the kind of man he is in real life. Cinematography in a film is key,and The Guardian makes you feel you're seeing events as they're actually happening. No fake snow,visable breath when it's cold,and violent ocean storms that were far more real than The Perfect Storm. I admit the ending was predictable,but then again,my heart still broke in the final scenes. Give the guy his due already!

I totally disagree with who ever wrote the article, I lived close to where the Coast Guard trains in Astoria Oregon, and beleive me that is no picnic. Those men and women are a tought breed of people and and yes they cry and laugh as do all of us. I think Kevin and Aston done a wonder job telling a good story. To the critic,, your way off line. I'd like to see you go try some swimming,maybe in a septic tank. Verla
