    Im a bit on the fence about it to be honest, not sure what i make of it.

    Would be interested in hearing what you guys think?

    Edit: Changed the movie title from "the changeling" to "changling", my bad for bad grammer :)

    Mad that it is somewhat based on a true story.

    Ms Jolie's acting isnt as good as she thinks it is in it. "I want my son", got tiresome. Somewhat engaging until the police bashing became boring in places.

    It was a tad too long tough i do think, i mean the story itself is very good and intriguing, but it just feels drawn out and alot is unnesessery now that i think about it.

    As for jolie, i dont tink she was very good in her part.

    Ok so you're talking about "Changling"... not "The Changling", which is a pretty awesome horror from 1980.

    Did not like Changling at all, the Police Captains atrocious oirish accent, which he kept turning on and off intermittantly kept breaking any immersion I might of had into the film.

    While I didn't mind the plot, I felt it dragged and could of been a good 45 minutes shorter.

    ditto on what the others said about it being too long and dragged out, the story was interesting but a lot of unnecessary scenes dragged the movie on too long.

    It surprised me. I really liked it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it so much as I didn't really like Eastwoods more recent movies but with Changeling and Gran Torino he's really making the best movies of his career.

    It's a good movie. I have a dislike for Angelina Jolie, but found myself drawn into the story. It does have a few problems, but it's decent enough.

    Thought it was pretty dull and clumsily structured.

    Good film, but just a bit too long.

    I thought it was one of the best films of 2008. It might have been a little too long but I wouldn't mark it down for that.

    I thought it was long and I found they kept drawing it out, like others have said. I just thought the guys accent was funny.

    Overall, the story was pretty good and interesting and it was shot very well. Jolie's part was a bit overacted I thought, the other actors were better.

    Good story, thought the film was ruined by Jolie.

    She was just annoying....
