Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

patricerausch Hoffmann Player his Charakter very good. Tom Cruise is Not so good as hoffman but very impressiv

patriciaaniston Barry Levinson's Rainman is a good but not great film and I feel its kinda overrated. It is a good, solid feature film but certainly not worthy of best picture. Furthermore with the passage of time we have seen that the autistic portrayal here is kinda skewed to put it mildly. However, having said this it is a good film featuring a great performance by Dustin Hoffman who won an Oscar for his portrayal of an autistic brother to Tom Cruise's straight man. Regardless, this is a good watch, if for nothing else then for the fact that it won many awards.

justin-fencsak Nearly 30 years ago, Rain Man came out and became a sleeper hit at the box office and won the Oscar for best picture. It was a game changer at the box office, with the movie dealing with autism, loneliness, and a getaway. Dustin Hoffman is great as the retarded character while Tom Cruise is his best friend. The cinematography is great, the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer (his first) amazing, and the acting is legendary. My dad grew up watching this movie on VHS and i finally watched it on bluray since i'm old enough to see this movie. It's not for kids since it's rated R.

okk07 When I watched this movie, I was impressed by the performance of Dustin Hoffman. His performance is wonderful and makes us think that he has really autism, for example, his screaming, the way he talks, his laughing and so on. Although Raymond that Dustin Hoffman plays talks monotonically, his performance tells us feeling of Raymond. As a result, I was absorbed in this story. In this story, Carlie and Raymond are described in contact. In generally, I think that they don't understand each other. However, Carlie changes slowly through contacting with Raymond. I think that this change is also attractive in this story. I think that this movie contains many meanings, so when we watched this movie again and again, I think that our feelings and thought will change. Because of this, I want to watch this movie carefully again and understand point of uncertainly and hidden meanings. I think that this movie is able to enjoy and be impressed!
