i just voted and gave bonfire a 10. not that i think it deserves that rating, but simply as a meager attempt to offset its current low rating. 4.8!!?? c'mon!
this is a very good film, and i note that all of the comments i read here were either positive or not-too-negative. so where did that rating come from?
bruce willis was just fine in this character (a'la "nobody's fool"), tom hanks was his usual fine self, melanie griffith was excellent, morgan freeman very excellent, the supporting cast very supporting, the story line entertaining, good directing, excellent photography, it moved along nicely, and, of course, the morality component -- which is what it was all about in the first place.
morgan freeman's speech alone is worth the price of admission.
rent this movie and if you don't enjoy it, please rsvp that you will NOT be attending my next dinner parte'
sometimes i think most of the folks who pen these tomes are either frustrated movie critics (comparing kubrick to you-name-him/her) or just frustrated homo sapiens.
stuff a sock in it and get a life. this was a fine movie and it's current rating is a disgrace to the species. i'm embarrassed to admit i'm a member -- but at least i can say i gave it a 10. even if it was a somewhat tainted 10.
score 10/10
