Unfortunately, I'm in the minority so far... I really didn't like the movie, I kept staring at the time elapse to see how much time was left in the film. I was hoping I would like it because it sounded similar to the film I did for my project, but I just couldn't get into this one. --Ashley Wilkins | Unfortunately, I'm in the minority so far...

| − | ''All the President's Men'' had an interesting way of telling the Watergate Scandal. As we learned about the scandal yesterday we went from the inside out, whereas in the film we go from the outside in. It definitely gives a different but very informative perspective. I also found it interesting how little of a part Nixon played. Aside from the various news clips, which did give the movie an accurate feel, his name was not mentioned as often as other White House names. The movie focused more on his lackeys. --Mallory C. | + | ''All the President's Men'' had an interesting way of telling the Watergate Scandal.

| + | I liked the movie but absolutely hated how it ended. You're going to make me sit there for 2 1/2 hours to watch all the build up of the break on the scandal and then breeze over Nixon resigning and all of the repercussions? I don't think so. If you're going to build up to the scandal breaking, at least make the movie climactic. Seriously. -Kelly Wuyscik | ||
