The Last King Of Scotland
A GREAT MOVIE!!! - Basheer
That was a great movie, definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen it was great. The acting was absolutely amazing (Forest Whitaker Idi Amin was a great actor). The whole was really good, this movie is really unmissable. I loved the movie this is an unmissable the storyline was great (even though it was a true story). The graphics were great, I loved everything about the movie I didn't want to blink it was that good everyone else in my family loved this movie. This movie really deserves an Oscar (Even though Forest Whitaker won an Oscar for great acting). this is truly unmissible movie. When I heard the name I thought it sounded bad, but I was wrong one of the greatest movie I've seen and would definitely want to watch it again.

Ouch! - Fozz
Forest Whittaker is just not appreciated (or used enough). Maybe that's his choice but whatever it is he has to appear in more movies as he generally always brings something to the part. ... MORE

Not worth the nomination - nickd
The Oscar people must love those true life characters. Maybe it's because they can't tell if someone is acting well unless they have some sort of reference material. Forrest Whitaker does a good job... MORE
