An awesome Sci-Fi film, Willis is amazing
Bruce Willis is spectacular in this futuristic thriller. Twelve Monkeys is about a scientist who goes back in time to try and stop the release of a toxin in the air that caused the demolition of man kind.
Bruce Willis is the main character but the supporting cast is so superb that even if Willis was replaced with a chimp this movie still would've rocked. Brad Pitt throws down a spectacular performance as the leader of an enviromental group known as the 12 Monkeys.
Overall this is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films of all time, it's innovative, creative, and tons of fun.
I didn't like this movie the first time I saw this back in '96, but after watching it a couple years ago I had to buy it, and now I watch it routinely.
Final Verdict:
5/5
Rent or Buy?: If you love Bruce Willis, you'll love this film. Although I'd recommend renting it first though, if you're not a huge sci-fi fan, just in case.

Pros:
A fabulous, paradoxical puzzle, with great set design and some funny dialogue.

Confusing on the first viewing. I think it aims to be deeper than it is.

Apocalypses are fun. No, no, not the real Apocalypse; the real end of the world will be pretty much a bummer. But until then, apocalypses offer storytellers the chance to wipe slates clean and settle scores with enemies. For fundamentalist Christians, the best-selling Left Behind novels send the reader straight to Heaven to watch while a redemptive hero fights the Satanic forces of the United Nations back in the hell that is earth. For worried peaceniks, Stephen King s the Stand wags a finger at the military, warns us about Germs Man Was Not Meant to Know, and lets the human race start over...

Just call me late to supper. Seldom do I catch a movie when released, and I had pretty much written this one off considering the reviews given. However, a recent bout with the flu and a Bruce Willis weekend on Showtime dropped this one in my lap. I'm not a big Willis fan, his shows all seem so predictable, kinda like Stallone or Jean-Claude. Color me surprised on this twisted plot and convoluted characters in the guise of James Cole (Bruce Willis) and Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt [I'm not a Brad Pitt fan either, so imagine my quandary]) . It takes a bit of concentration to follow this plot,...

Artistic vision and satire of Terry Gilliam, intriguing story, Brad Pitt

In the wake of our recent Anthrax panic, this movie hits a rare note of high anxiety for the truly Paranoid. And it is no longer so outlandish, bizarre and unlikely, although when it came out in 1995, it's success at the box office surprised everyone. Although many post annihilation scenarios had been created for the science fiction fan, starting back in the early days of the Cold War, this particular one was unique. This one featured a small surviving human population. The rest of the world's people had not been nuked. They had been "virused". *** This movie is not without flaws, but there...

What to watch, what to watch. Hey look, Bruce Willis movies. 12 Monkeys huh? Ok, cool. It actually wasn't until about midway through the movie that I remembered seeing previews for this movie several years back. Then I was excited - it had looked kinda cool and now I got to see it. Yay! The beginning is a tad bit scrambled. You might be sitting there thinking "Huh?", but don't worry, things work themselves out. Kind of. This movie was meant to be a bit of a brain tease so that's what you're going to get. Enter James Cole (Bruce Willis, Die Hard, Armageddon - yay!). He lives in a time where a..

I returned to rehearsals for my new production, Aida on Ice down at Rosita's Ice-A-Rama this morning. Rosita and her kin are still somewhat miffed at having to clean elephant dung off of the rink and I have packed off said elephant back to Priscilla's Performing Pets asking for a full refund and an animal with better training. I have been told that several leopards, a water buffalo, a mandrill and a Burmese python are on their way to enliven the triumphal march scene. I hope they come with their own supply of Depends. I did place a call to June Allyson to borrow a few of hers, just in case. I.
