Just got back from seeing it, and I think it was really good. Clint Eastwood keeps up his badass persona, even though he is 78 lol. I personally am an Eastwood fan, watched all his classics growing up with my Dad. This is definitely a good one. So if you guys are Eastwood fans, I would say you should make sure to see it, its really really good.

That was filmed right here in Michigan. It was filmed in a bad part of town too. I have never seen a Clint Eastwood movie, but I'd like to see Gran Torino. It's one of those movies though that I would appreciate more if I had seen previous Eastwood movies where he was younger. I compare this to seeing Rocky Balboa, without seeing Rocky1-5. You don't really know how Eastwood is in his movies, then you see one in his later years...ya know?

I saw Gran Torino Fri night and I loved it from beginning to end! It was very funny at times and also dramatic at times. The surprise ending was brilliant. I think I can definitely relate to Clint's character in that movie. I resprect crusty old patriotic Veterans like him (like my stepfather, Clint's character has a garage with every tool known to man and there's nothing he doesn't know how to fix). My only complaint about the movie is that I'd love to have seen more of the Gran Torino, specifically some badass chase scene or at least a burnout.

WOW, what else can I say. I just got back from the movie, absolutely worth the money. Definitely will be an all time Eastwood classic!

I think I should see at least those two before I go see this, so like I said, I can appreciate it more. My parents saw it and liked it. I told them not to tell me anything...haha

It was a great movie, I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a few tears. Watch it, its well worth the money. At times it was hilarious, action packed and dramatic, just an all around good movie.
