The Ides of March(2011)- User Reviews

There appeared to be no indication from the trailer of how disappointing this movie would be. Every opportunity to add some sort of suspenseful moment was missed. The addition of some suspense would have, at least somewhat, made up for the lack of a story. The characters didn't appear real and the setup and storyline didn't provide the necessary condition to suspend even the slightest bit of disbelief. It also appeared that the audience around me was equally disappointed. Set aside the issue of not having a story, the movie had no ending. It seemed that most left the theater scratching their heads saying the same thing my wife and I were saying: "what just happened here?"
