BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
adonis98-743-186503 The affair between a politician and a contemporary dancer is affected by mysterious forces keeping the lovers apart. The Adjustment Bureau is unlike most romantic films it mixed well romance and sci-fi in a well written way, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon are excellent and their chemistry feels realistic, the special effects and the overall plot of the movie is very interesting and the ending was so well done. Overall something new, something original in a way and a love story about a man and a woman who would do everything to stay together. (10/10)
Thanos Karagioras "The Adjustment Bureau" is a Sci-Fi romance movie in which we watch a man who is a politician and wants to become a Senator getting involved with a beautiful contemporary ballet dancer. After a very strange incident, everything changes for him as he learns about the existence of some people who are responsible for the fate itself and their name is The Adjustment Bureau. They told him about them and they explain what they do and they also tell him not to meet that woman again. After he realizes that he fell in love with this woman he has to fight for her and all the agents of Fate.I liked this movie very much because it has a very interesting plot and a well-written script. In addition to this, I think that the interpretations of Matt Damon who played as David Norris and Emily Blunt who played as Elise Sellas are outstanding and provide to the audience a beautiful romance. The direction which was made by George Nolfi was simply amazing. I also liked the combination of action scenes with romance. At first, this movie it may confuse you due to its mysterious concept but after you understand the plot then you are going to love it.To sum up I have to say that "The Adjustment Bureau" is a very interesting movie with a very new and innovative idea for a plot. I believe that you aren't going to waste your time watching it. I strongly recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to have a great time watching it and you are going to enjoy it very much since you are going to be intense for the whole duration of it.
chrisoddshoes If you do not like Philip K Dick, you may find many reasons to not like this film. I do and I really enjoyed it. It's not Blade Runner, but well worth a watch. If you have never heard of PKD and enjoy scifi and fantasy, give it a try.

Now he's taking it back."An aspiring politician (Damon) seemingly meets by accident a professional dancer (Blunt), with whom he is immediately smitten, but when members of the Adjustment Bureau intervene to keep them apart, a characteristically reckless Damon determines to track this woman down in defiance of the enigmatic "Chairman."Stylishly mixing genres, Nolfi has crafted an oddly realistic, sci-fi tinged romantic thriller (loosely based on Dick's 1954 short story), with a refreshing emphasis on the touching central romance, rather than on any distracting visual effects.A location-heavy love letter to New York, the film poses provocative questions about how much control we have over our lives, and what parts fate and chance play.Blu-ray Extras: Commentary, Featurettes, Deleted/Extended Scenes, Interactive Map. ***½ (7/10)
