I was pleased with all aspects of this movie. Lots of films set in the 50's are lifeless and boring. This isn't one of them! Just watch it remembering that it's a drama, not a comedy (like most Jim Carrey movies... Full review

Having seen many a Jim Carey movie, I expected this movie to either be more humorous than the previews suggested or very awkward with Carey playing out of character. In the end, it was neither. The Majestic's storyline is beautifully assembled... Full review

It may be much too long, and the editing isn't up to scratch, but I rather enjoyed The Majestic, for Jim Carrey's convincing performance and for its very sweet heart.
Reinforcing values and standing up for what is right, The Majestic has a satisfying climax, and when Peter returns to Lawson after the court case, hoping to find Adele waiting for him at the station, he is not the only one who has changed.

This soft-boiled, ridiculously mawkish flick proves that director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) should stick to prisons and Stephen King stories.....in a performance so sickly sweet.... ... Full Review

In 2001's "The Majestic," they have fashioned a nostalgic tearjerker that will either please the socks off you (if that's your idea of a good time) or send you to the nearest bookshelf for a good read while somebody else finishes watching the movie.
The usually wild and crazy Jim Carrey, of all people, stars in Darabont's wistful little tale, and I applaud the actor for taking on another serious role, much as he did in "The Truman Show" and "Man on the Moon.

The Majestic had the potential to be a stronger movie, but, as it is, it's just good enough.
Harry considers re-opening his long defunct movie palace, the Majestic, while the girl who loved Luke, Adele (Laurie Holden), spends time with Peter to determine if he is indeed the real Luke.

While it's true the villains are sitting ducks and the hero's path holds few surprises, The Majestic is an eminently likable movie.
If sincerity is the new governing principle in popular entertainment, then The Majestic is the movie of the moment.
