I liked and enjoyed this movie and you should go see it because it portrays Amelia Earhart really well. It also has a great love story. I love her determination and her husband's support for her flying.

My 16 year old daughter and I (55 yrs old) enjoyed the movie very much. Hilary Swank was brilliant! The cinematography and the flashback scenes were incredible! Not sure how anyone could rate it only So-So. You have have to go and see it for yourself.

In view of the many-many movies today that are just plain dumb and disappointing, I don't understand why many have been so critical of this movie! I had to see it at another cinema, because our Regal isn't even running it, but I thought it was VERY good! If you are any kind of history buff at all, or one interested in Amelia Earhart (as I have been since childhood) you'll enjoy this movie! Swank and Gere were excellent in it as well! (Bear in mind that people of this past era did live life at a slower pace, speak sometimes more formally...it was a different age...and I wonder if that is part of why some think this movie is "slow"! It's not supposed to be "Die Hard"!!...it captured the historical era and atmosphere of that place and time beautifully!) It certainly held my interest beginning to end!

As always, Hillary Swank did a superb job!!!!! Richard Gere did an outstanding job on portraying her husband. The story line was interesting. I applaud the director for making a film that wasn't filled with bad language, nudity, and gore. I so want the return of glamour and class. Is it possible?

It was nice that some depth and layering was given to Amelia. Sets and costumes were great as were the CG's. But I was expecting a little more. My husband and I who are both pilots, (he professional, me private) found it to be a bit boring. We watched "The Making of 'Amelia'" on HBO and found that to be far more interesting! I am glad the movie was made to honor this incredible woman. It was nice to see that Gore Vidal actually had a iving, breathing human parent too!
