All the Money in the World

I loved the movie, and Christopher Plummer was great, however, the whole time he was on screen I couldn't help but envision Kevin Spacey in his place. I wish I could have seen that version of this movie.

It's a good film. Not the best, but good. Michelle Williams gives her best in the role of the victim's mother and the cinematography is great in my opinion.

Then you recieve no love in the world

I'm all for quality dramatizations of true stories. Something interesting & true will generally beat out something interesting & fictional. But, something interesting & partially true, while being too fictional, becomes the least enjoyable of these categories, for me. It's like, you want to hold on to being absorbed by the appeal that only a true story can provide, but if it goes too far with fictional aspects, the appeal is almost completely lost. An example of this in another movie is the police chase of the airplane at the end of Argo. If that had really happened - wow - amazing. Instead, it comes across as almost an insult to your intelligence. All the Money in the World is visually stunning with it's directing and depicted time period, sophisticated - until Mark Wahlberg shows up, trying to act sophisticated - and the basics of the story are fascinating, but as a result of its over-embellishment, I felt stuck in limbo between relishing a fascinating historical event & characters, and just enjoying something made for entertainment. Worth watching.

All the money in the world couldn't save Spacey from being recast, but thankfully, Plummer does a sterling job. And personally, after seeing Spacey in heavy prosthetics in the early trailers, the recasting was a good choice, above and beyond Spacey's alleged misdeeds. But aside from the casting controversies, the film was good. Not great - it was overlong, and there seemed to be plot holes here and there - but it was well made and acted, and deserving of a watch.

I'd say a strong attention span is definitely required, and luckily I have one. Michelle Williams and Christopher Plummer did an amazing job acting as complete contrasts. The writing behind the characters was shockingly good, most likely because it was based on a book which was based on a true story. Ridley Scott once again flexes the fact he can not only shoot but reshoot an entire movie in a limited time frame. Kevin Spacey played the J. Paul Getty role originally and I'm kind of glad Plummer stepped in. Although you can tell some scenes were rushed. Locations were beautiful when they weren't plagued with paparazzi and the events are devastating, nevertheless unsurprising.

A fascinating true story with a plot that is engaging and suspenseful. The performances by the cast, especially Christopher Plummer, were excellent and brought the characters to life in a very compelling way. The film does an excellent job of exploring the themes of wealth, power, and family dynamics.

It's an interesting dissection of the cost and the effect wealth has on a not only a person but moreso a family. Everyone is solid enough in it, though I'm more interested in seeing what Spacey did with the material. It also runs a little too long.

Unfortunately way too long. The story and idea is really good but unfortunately it takes so long for everything to unfold, that we didn't enjoy it was much in the end…

Solid performances from an excellent cast Well written fictionalized events around the Getty kidnapping. Michelle Williams was brilliant as usual in a very different role for her. There was nothing last minute about Christopher Plummer who brought all his considerable stage presence to the role. I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10, although the acting was an 8 and 9.
