It tells a full story with three acts, it introduces characters we get to know and care about, and it has something it passionately wants to say.
Maybe this well-loved Luke is who his neighbors want him to be, a good fellow who, with his father, reopens the old movie house in town -- the Majestic -- thus allowing his neighbors to dream in the dark again.

despite of some cliches,i loved it.this movie show that a simple accident(a little animal on your way)can change and even more can mean your life,if you forgot your past and some cheap goals like being a writer of a B **** floating in river we can experience a new life and new goals...

This was a fine film that only professional critics Roger Ebert and Rex Reed 'got'. Pay attention to those bookend scenes of Peter Applegate and the unseen studio 'suits' folks - what happens in between is a meditation on the movies and movie theaters (at their best) as a source of personal inspiration and role-models and a place for building community values. 'Even has a few subtle things to say about real saints and heroes maybe being a little too good to be happy life companions for the rest of us.

A pale imitation that challenges credulity and tries too hard to win our hearts with schmaltz.
It's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.
When nostalgia, hypocrisy, and indifference to history converge in the kind of shameless Capracorn manufactured here, one can either be stupefied by the filmmakers' cynicism or fall for the package hook, line, and sinker.
The Majestic isn't. Rather it's "The Film That Wasn't There," a derivative, self-satisfied fable that couldn't be more treacly and simple-minded if it tried. And it tries, oh, how it tries.
It can't fake sincerity. It tries ever so hard, but it doesn't have a single believable second. Every word in it is a lie.
Es una película bonita y no necesariamente bonito es sinónimo de bueno, pero en este caso sí lo es, la premisa es relativamente original, y a pesar de que en los primeros 20 minutos sabes como se va a desarrollar la trama, existen unos pequeñísimos giros de guion lo suficiente para no perder el interés.
Me gusta la banda sonora y en general la estética de la película, podría refinarse esta última, pero al verla sientes paz, como si todo lo malo ya hubiera terminado.
En un primer momento sentí que sería una excusa para que la película se convierta en propaganda de el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, pero es todo lo contrario, es una crítica al sistema y como soldados que creían en el país, dieron la vida por el mismo; pero la patria por la cual murieron gradualmente se convirtió en la que persigue a sus propios ciudadanos.

Good movie, not a comedy. This is more of a serious role for Jim Carey. In my opinion he did an awesome job. A man involved in a car accident gets amnesia.

The Majestic is a heart-warming little story with an underlying, big-picture message. Jim Carrey's performance is fantastic as always, but the movie can't help but feel predictable and a little cliche. I also feel that it struggles with having a central identity, constantly switching between being a drama, comedy, and romance. It's a nice film, but it doesn't break any ground, and to be honest I wouldn't watch it again.
