NOTE: Again, Spoiler Alert!
Argo is one of my all-time favorite movies and also the best film of 2012. It won 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay in the concluded 86th Oscar Awards. There's so much stuff to talk about the movie especially the controversial ending of the movie and the fake sci-fi film being used as a cover to get-away. Oh and if anyone don't know (I guess all of you probably know right now), that Ben Affleck directed and stars in this movie. He did surprisingly entertaining movies like The Town and Gone Baby Gone. The thing about Affleck is that he wasn't that much of a good actor to be honest. I thought he was stiff at times almost in films like Paycheck or Pearl Harbor, he was good though in Good Will Hunting. Okay moving on.
Argo starts with the old WB logo and what's interesting about seeing the film for the first time is that I know this one is gonna special or really exciting. And i'm exactly since we are treated with a monologue of a woman briefly telling Iran's history and what's the cause of the overcontinuing tension between Iranians and Americans during 1979 crisis. What actually happens is that, the previous ruler, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, has been overthrown and replaced with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The Shah, having been diagnosed with terminal cancer, is given asylum in the United States while undergoing treatment.





There's nothing to talk even more other than its pacing. But anyways, everything about this film is just too great. Character development was great; Editing is flawless; Dialogue is well-made; Acting was amazing; And the finale and wrap of the movie was just one of the most memorable cinematic experiences i've experienced.

The geek rates it 9.4/10. I will be back to a lot of reviews including Evil Dead, Star Trek and more.
