About an hour into Twelve Monkeys, Bruce Willis says, 'All I see are dead people'. Did he like have a sixth sense??

I didn't really intend to, but after watching La Jetee yesterday I felt the need to watch the film it inspired so much again. And watching it with the powerful imagery of La jetee fresh in the back of my mind, I think Gilliam's film just possibly got a bit better. Even…

- MovieDaddy lovedTwelve Monkeys
One of my top 25 all-time favorites. A bizarre vibe (thanks, Terry Gilliam!) lays groundwork to some of the best over the top performances from Willis and Pitt. This is one to really get lost in. Plus, I’m a sucker for time travel movies.
The Horrornomicon likedTwelve MonkeysOk so hear me out…. The first hour had me fighting my urge to sleep….. my friend told me to push through and truthfully i don’t love but im happy i finished it… it was pretty interesting .. i recommend the struggle lol
Logan McFarland likedTwelve Monkeyspretty good ig. can be a little confusing, but it has brad pitt and bruce willis. brad pitt saved the movie for me, i liked his character. cool movie concept though

Willis, Pitt, Stowe. Three unbelievable powerhouses carry to the end. The main problem with this gorilla-sized story is the runtime. It starts slow and builds up really well. The exposition hints at what's going on with so much scepticism. There's no unnecessary production going on, it's all…
RayRay likedTwelve MonkeysBetween like and meh, mainly because it drags a bit after the 3rd jump back in time and because I misunderstood some things. When I cleared up those misunderstandings I liked it a lot. Very creative. Not only was this Pitt’s best performance, but it’s one of the best generally
Platypus Lord lovedTwelve MonkeysSubverts the time travel genre in enjoyable ways. Willis & Stowe were great, and Brad Pitt was amazing. The story is engrossing and intriguing, with satisfying twists, turns, and payoffs. Production quality is impeccable. The music is bouncy, frenzied, in an eerie sort of way.
- Larry Daley dislikedTwelve Monkeys
I had really high hopes for this because I’d only heard good things about it, however the story feels dated and overly convoluted just for the sake of it. From the jump we know how the plot ends so with nothing much else to offer I found it boring. P.S. The acting ain’t it chief
RitOlive likedTwelve MonkeysThis is a post-apocalyptic, almost cyberpunk style movie with really good performances from Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis, and Madeleine Stowe too. The story is interesting, the fast-paced dizzy way it’s filmed makes it more fun, and there’s a good couple of twists. Pretty good!
Jacob Hall is "meh" onTwelve Monkeysall time travel movies have the same ending and its so frustrating because once you know the ending, the rest of the movie becomes underwhelming. thats what makes Interstellar so great that they looked at time travel differently for once

Metacritic
Gilliam keeps the audience guessing, and in doing so creates a startlingly effective rumination on the nature of sanity and madness cloaked in the shroud of a sci-fi thriller.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
Brad Pitt has fun with his secondary part as a pontificating lunatic, but I wish I'd enjoyed the rest of the cast more.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Any laughs that it inspires will be very hollow. It's more of a celebration of madness and doom, with a hero who tries to prevail against the chaos of his condition, and is inadequate.
