There is one interesting thing about this movie

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2002)

Okay, maybe there's more than one thing, but one thing to consider for sure: how stupid are company executives if they will pay for product placements in these kinds of movies? I don't know if they're gullible enough to be fooled by some slick talking or they don't get to know in what context their products will be 'placed' but, man is it ever a bad marketing decision!
I mean product placement in Bond or Spiderman or Fast and the Furious is one thing, but would you pay for your product to be featured in American Beauty (I'm guessing Mercedes did?) or Fight Club (My bet is on Starbucks for this one)? I'm not saying Minority Report is anything like those two movies. It's vastly inferior to the first and vastly superior to the second. All I'm saying is this product placement isn't positive or even neutral, all it does is underscore how annoying and pervasive these companies and their ads are/will be. And since by definition all large corporations are/(regarded as) evil it doesn't mean these companies are somehow worse. It means their representatives in charge of promotion are a bunch of dumb asses...
Strange isn't it?
What? Oh! Minority Report. Good movie, in that it could just as well be taking place is 2014 as 2054. Whilst the concept takes a gigantic amount of suspension of disbelief, the effects are great, the black and blue colours nice and it does have some thrilling/exciting/gruesome/but more exciting than gruesome moments (although, admittedly, some of them are achieved through what we call 'fx' but to use an old-fashioned word could be described as 'loudness'. Still, it's only for some of them, not all).
And, of course the ending is Spielberg/Darabontian - it's not even all that happy, it's just sappy and stupid - which means this is a pretty good movie which can be made much better by doing your homework on the movie's length and walking out about 10 minutes early and pretending that was the end.
