It's not bad, could be better. Needs more action.

In the beginning I thought it was mildly entertaining but the more I thought about it, the more it irked me. The story structure was incoherent. It's not clear from whose point of view the story is being told as we see everything going on - leaving no surprises. I realize it was a kids movie - which I usually enjoy - but it lacked imagination. It had potential but if it had stuck to one story line. Very disappointing.

I actually want to give this movie a 6.5, I was wanting to see it for some time and when I finally did was a bit disappointed, Jody Foster was not the right person for the role she was playing, although she is typically great, she didn't seem to really 'fit' the role. Other than that Nim's Island is a good family movie for all ages.

Loved the movie and was pleasantly surprised. A pure "G" rated movie with lots of action and pure of heart bravery.

That movie is fantastick. I am a girl that loves adventures in a movie. And the movie Nim's Island has more adventure that I thought there would be. Now I find that the movie is my favorite. I love the animals in the story. The house that was in the new discovered island with Nim and her father. It was well decorated. My mom laughed when the lisard went in Alex Rover's face. So did I.

It was a good movie but it was also very emotional. The island was beautiful and the sea lion was sooo cute. The special effects weren't great. I think Nim did such a good job acting. Go see it now!

A very good storyline and good acting, with a lot of comedy. But with some parts, you'll only use the edge of your seat.

This was a very entertaining movie, with lots of funny parts that even an adult would laugh out loud about. Jodie Foster's character was quite amusing with all her phobias and her amazing imagination. My big complaint about this movie was that it ended so abruptly - it should have gone on for another 30 minutes to wrap things up with the characters.

The best part of this movie was the first 5 minutes, it went down hill after. I walked out after roughly 1 hour, for I had enough. The premise was promising, the acting very, very disappointing. I obviously expected far better from Jodie Foster, who seems to be facing a late life crisis as I cannot fathom any other reason for her to stoop so low as to attempt to depict herself as Kathleen Turner's character of Joan Wilder (Romancing the Stone) And so if this is suppose to be a children's movie, what values are we promoting exactly (not to mention anything about parenting skills): for starters, have no respect for wildlife (catapult lizards, they'll be O. K.), go climb cliffs alone without proper equipement or technique, life on a deserted island is O. K. because you'll have your cell phone and computer, and daddy will take off for a few days... and my favorite, its O. K. to chat with perfect strangers on the internet and let them know you're an 11 year old girl all alone. And what would Hannibal Lechter think of Jodie Foster now? Would he find her rude? She trivializes people that have psychiatric disorders, such as agarophobia. After all, agarophobic Jodie Foster was able to get out of her house and go halfway across the world in less than an hour to rescue a poor lone 11 year (fortunately not in Thailand) that she met on the internet. I recommend this movie for everybody that dreamed about Home Alone on Fantasy Island and tarts that enjoy phoney brit/aussie accents and a happy ending.

It has great scenery and a couple of mildly funny points. Otherwise, it's fluff, from start to finish. Not much happens, no lessons are learnt, the ending comes abruptly and is a little too perfect, even given the genre. I would describe this film as a fairy tale made of air bubbles and pretty thoughts... nothing more.

This was a very good movie. I don't think anyone should miss it. I think it is one of the best family movies I have seen.

Nim's Island was so excellent with the cute animals that helped Nim. Nim especially loved Alex Rover, a man that saved Nim from the Bioneers. The Bionneers were destroying Nim's Island so Nim needed help from her animal friends. It's such a wonderful movie. Everyone in your family should see it!
