هالفيلم وضّح لنا جانب ثاني من روبرت، ماتوقعته كذا بالدرامي :(
بكاني اكثر من مره بكذا مشهد وياررب نشوف افلام دراميه اكثر له
This was a really fine film. Two of the best American actors of their generations, Robert Duvall and Robert Downey, Jr., working off one another's talents throughout the film, along w/ a tremendous supporting cast, made this a compelling journey about family, learning that sometimes the best way to win the battle is not to fight, and realizing that, sometimes, we can go home.
What a beautiful story! and really great acting.
Well that was nice, RDJ, NICE.
There are movies where you watch the trailer and you ask yourself: should I consider watching this ? Yes, the cast is great but hasn`t that story been told before in some way or the other ?
That´s how it was with me and, after watching this, I do not regret it. Maybe I´m geting old but it´s really nice to see movies with great performances by actors who earn that title, that have a story to tell you might even relate to. Movies that are filmed in the real world, that show a great scenery and on camera a real master of his craft.
As much as I like blockbuster, action and sci-fi stuff - from time to time I need a movie like this.
Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, Billy Bob Thornton... what a wonderful cast!
Maudlin ending. It was ok, nothing great, predictably since the beginning but with good acting from every one involved. It is long but it doesn't feel terribly long. The plot didn't captivate me. I might forget about it soon but it was enjoyable for today.
great work. i really enjoyed watching it
It was a solid movie although I didn't quite buy it so I didn't invest in it as much as others.
Great movie with really messages and better than i expected..Acting perfomances are more than great!
Good movie big up RDJ
Definitely worth seeing for two amazing performances from Downey and Duvall.
Absolutely a great movie, nice plot and excellent actors.
Great acting (my first Robert Downey Jr. film)!
-It was interesting to see family relations so entangled in a legal setting where complications are bound to come up. The plot was entertaining enough (with a few small twists), and a mild mix of emotion.

After a long time, finally we can see the great Robert Downey Jr. do something different than the superhero Iron Man, or even the very intelligent but insane Sherlock Holmes. Nothing against, as the success of these two blockbusters owes much to his talent and what he gives to his characters. In The Judge we can see him doing a deeper and more serious role, never losing his ironic side and that funny that always makes us laugh whenever it is necessary. Here plays a character that can be perfectly adapted to real life and I confess that I've been missing to see him again in a different register.
The Judge is divided between the courtrooms and the family drama of a family marked by problems from the past that are still unresolved. Attorney Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) is forced to return to his hometwon in Indiana, 20 years later, for the funeral of his mother. Hank always had problems with his father (Robert Duvall), a very well respected judge in the city, and during his short stay his father is considered the main suspect of an homicide. Hank is forced to help his father to find out the truth and eventually re-connects with his brothers and even with some old acquaintances of the small town.
The film is not simply a story about courts, laws or criminal justice, but a family drama where the characters are going to rediscover themselves, learn how to forgive and respect each other. The emotional side of the story is more important than everything else, and despite the numerous clichés that the film may have, they result in a perfect way to what the film is supposed to give us and it never disappoints.
It is certainly a film of great performances! The chemistry between Downey Jr. and Duvall is really great and all their scenes together are very intense. The entire supporting cast does a very good work, but is mostly Downey Jr. and Duvall what make The Judge to be not just a drama of conflict between father and son, but a real portrait of many families, sincere and honest that has a slightly different ending than we are expecting.
