This is a great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2004)

I'm shocked at the level of dissatisfaction of the viewer comments about Donnie Darko. I thought it was refreshing and interesting. Compared to the parade of insipid, uninspired movies playing in theatres like Lord of the Rings or The Italian Job, this movie offers something for all the senses. I think it was shot creatively, the sound track is fantastic, and the story leaves the viewer thinking. What more can you ask for? It's something original. What Hollywood seem to be lacking these days is imagination and this film delivers. Is it the feel good hit of the summer? No, but it doesn't pretend to be. If you are looking for something different and something outside the norm then this movie is for you. Don't listen to the nay-sayers on this one. Do yourself a favour and rent Donnie Darko.
