Heard a lot of mediocre to negative things about this one.

Saw it a couple months ago.Pretty bad.I had high hopes because of Coppola directing.

Looking forward to renting this as I've had it saved in my Netflix queue since it first hit theaters because I wasn't willing to go into NYC for it.

Well I guess its a good thing that crap is getting put out on Blu Ray. It just means they are willing to go all in with HDM. So that's a good thing... the bad thing about this is someone might actually buy this dreck because of the director's past glory!

The title alone tells me it is crap. Youth Without Youth? How about Hamburgers Without Hamburgers! Batman Without Batman! Goodwill Hunting Without Goodwill Hunting!

awesome. I'm not a fan of FFC, but Bruno Ganz (played Hitler AMAZINGLY in Downfall) is pretty great. chalk up another one for my pocketbook

It actually makes sense given what the film is about.

This movie was panned by the critics, but I loved it. Watched the blu-ray over the weekend (got a early copy). Very high quality. The Dolby TrueHD soundtrack is fabulous, one of the best so far. And the movie itself.... well, maybe not for everyone, but I enjoyed it immensely. Maybe a little too cerebral for the average viewer.
