Honestly... one of the best movies ever.

Ok, so I thought it was only me, but after watching this movie, I had a massive headache also. I thought the movie was terrible. It was all over the damn place and difficult to follow. Nothing to do with IQ, but all the scene changes my head was literally hurting.

Maybe the voices in their head scenes did me in. Those were annoying as was that cartoon crap at one point in the movie. At that point I couldn't figure if they were trying to make it a dark comedy or not.

Again, terrible movie, and I can see why it did so poorly.

Warning! Watching this movie can give you a massive headache!
I had mine 2 aspirins to kill the ache.
Thanks, Ray Liotta, thanks Jason Statham i'm giving you 4/10

@Muttley007 - you "understood the Matrix"? That was incredibly straight forward. Understanding it is no boastworthy feat.

Who are these "most people" who don't understand The Matrix after one viewing? The film spends about half an hour explaining itself in excruciating detail. Exactly how did you come to the conclusion that the majority of people were confused by it? Was there a poll?

-There is no such word as "alot."

Oh 'The Matix' !!

They call it complex? It's pretty hard to take when people associate movies like 'The Matrix' or 'Inception' to words like intelligent, complex etc., They are neither. (No wonder you didn't get this movie, when you think 'getting' The Matrix was a deal).

They are not well made movies with too much on the nose content and mindless action. They are not centered on their respective basic ideas and both movies drift towards insignificant details.

Movies like Revolver or 'eXistenZ' took presenting ideas to a new level, and achieved what pseudo intellectual movies like 'The Matrix' and 'Inception' couldn't (no wonder most people fell for the latter two - law of averages).

I'm sorry to say but those movies actually had a plot.


This is like an amateurish take on Nolan's Momento, which you actually had to think about but at the same time could actually follow.

I think some people like to believe that they "understand" this movie just because it makes them feel smart, when in reality Revolver is an extremely pretentious film that regards nothing for intellectual minds but insteads wallows in its own confusion.

There's a lot of plot holes as well, which makes me question if this was deliberate or not.

I enjoy films that make us "think" but it has to give us something to think about, and not just give our cognitive machines an oiling for the sake of function.

ROTFL Memento, the greatest gimmick movie ever made, Nolan's a Hack

"Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem."

Visually hypnotic. Makes you go out thinking. You an nitpik all you want (why is a man named Dorothy?) but it reallyis an excercise for the brain.

Hey, I think I also had a headache after I watched this, but of course it does not mean I don't consider it a great film.
I'm kind of offended by this...

my top ten films --> by number one is undoubtedly Revolver -- the rest are in no particular order.

1.revolver

2.flight club
3.matrix
4.battle royale [japanese]
5.Old Boy [korean]
6.Shawshank
7. Godfather Part 1
8.Inception
9.Prestige
10.Dark Knight

Revolver is hands down the most intelligent film i've ever seen. First time i saw it i loved it for style and for what i thought it was trying to achieve, but after i watched it again and again i realised that this was a piece of spiritual art. the final 20 minutes is poetic and like jake green, i've been battling with the enemy in my head ever since i was able to understand it, conquering my irrational fears etc etc.
