Everybody's a critic: 'United 93'

Three stars (out of four)

"United 93" was well done. The movie appeared to be filmed by handheld cameras, making it seem like you were there. I also appreciated that the actors in the movie were virtually unknown. It made them much more believable and I was able to really see them as the people they were portraying.

The control room scenes were a bit drawn out and I would've liked to have seen the other ends of the conversations when the passengers called their families.

Be sure that you are ready to see this movie before you go. It is extremely upsetting. I was anxious the entire time. I think this film is a wonderful tribute to the heroic passengers of this now famous flight and that everyone who feels that they are ready should honor those lost by seeing it.

I have to be honest in saying that when I received my ticket to see "United 93," I was hesitant to go.

Like most Americans, I can remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the news of what was happening on that fateful day. I have to applaud director Paul Greengrass. He did an excellent job of recreating a story that anyone would be hard-pressed to tackle. It was realistic.

After the movie ended, everyone was glued to their seats, with many wiping tears from their faces.

The events that occurred on that day will be a memory that forever haunts our nation's history.

Words cannot express the way this movie made me feel. It was as if we were reliving that horrible day all over again. You know what is going to happen, yet you have to watch.

The terrorists had to have no conscience, sitting in the terminal watching all of the passengers interact with their families and calling loved ones to say they would see them soon. The passengers came to realize that this was a suicide mission and that they had to act. They are the true heroes! I recommend that everyone see this movie.

This is the first movie I've seen that when the movie ended I could have heard a pin drop. People were sobbing and so was I.
