Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Sherry Stuckey Woody Harrelson executes the role perfectly leaving the viewer wondering if LBJ is a man with a good heart, or a good political agenda, or both.

armandocabral I really enjoyed this movie. Woody was awesome. I like the 2 storylines and i thought it was very well put together. I wanted more

Kris LBJ in many ways parallels Robert Caro's book 'The Passage of Power' which tells the story of Lyndon Johnson at the tail end of his days as Senate Majority Leader, Vice-President and President up until August 1964 with the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Those interested in this story would be well-advised to read the book before watching this movie but even for those who don't, the film is about as historically accurate as you can get for a two hour effort. Many of the quotes in the script are true to words actually spoken by Johnson at one point or another in his career and the scenes between the Kennedys and Johnson are not far off the mark either with my only gripe being that Johnson's speech on civil rights given at Gettysburg in May 1963 was omitted from the film but one that was given a week before JFK's landmark speech on the same topic. My impression of the film is that overall it was done as well as could be without straining to bore an audience, and a select audience at that, who would watch this movie however I still believe that Bryan Cranston gave the best performance of LBJ in All The Way and that the over-reliance on makeup and prosthetics on Harrelson and even Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lady Bird Johnson was somewhat a distraction. Indeed I'd say Reiner made Harrelson look like LBJ would've by 1968 after the weight of the office and the war in Vietnam had taken its toll rather the way he appeared in the early 1960s but these are minor quibbles. In the last analysis movies like this will never measure up entirely to the written material out there that provides far more context and understanding of the events described. For example Johnson's reluctance to submit a civil rights bills in late 1963 to Congress along with other measures Kennedy had sent up was rooted in the fact that LBJ knew that every other bill would be either stalled or killed along with civil rights legislation which he would insist be the only thing on the congressional agenda. This explains why in January 1964 he made it a priority to get JFK's tax cuts passed before he would put the full weight of the effort into a civil rights bill. Fundamentally he understood legislative strategy but JFK would never use Johnson in that way because he instinctively knew that by delegating the legislative agenda to Johnson he would be giving him a power centre that would make Kennedy reliant on his vice-president to get anything done and that was something no sitting president could abide by. Still its good to see LBJ getting his proper due for his achievements that overshadowed anything JFK did and may never have done had he lived. Much changed on November 22, 1963, some for the worse but also much for the better.

docjudia I was a young nurse during assassination of Kennedy and the following Viet Nam war and remember the toll it took on LBJ as evidenced in his public appearances. Many years later when I moved to Texas I toured the LBJ Ranch. I believe Woody Harrelson and Rob Reiner did an excellent job portraying a complicated man. Although definitely not wholly complimentary, the strength of his character, his commitment to his country and his valuing of human rights through education and the expression of personal liberty did do justice to the man and his life.
