Judging by the comments, those that see it have really enjoyed it.
Judging by number of poll selections, not many have seen it yet
(which includes me but I hope fix that tomorrow).

Glad I'm not the only one. I was fully behind this movie until the ending, which might have ruined it for me. Spoilerizing just so I can go into great detail without ruining it for anyone.
Please, someone explain this, I really enjoyed it up to the end, I hope I'm missing something.

I get what happened to Cage.
And this is exactly why I have such a problem with it. It was contrived in order to achieve that.

For what it's worth, I dislike the too convenient and happy ending and still thought it was predictable.

Going to see it tonight, really looking forward to it.
I would not want Cruise as friend in real life, but I like most of his movies.

Originally, the How To Train Your Dragon 2 IMAX 3D version was only going to open for theaters outside the USA. I just saw a message from IMAX saying that this is no longer the case and it will opening in IMAX 3D screens this Friday. I guess Edge of Tomorrow opening in third place will do that to you.

Really? He's a really nice guy - goes out of his way to be polite to people. I'd rather be pals with a nice guy with some rather odd religious beliefs than a 'normal' Christian who treats people like crap.

It was obvious there is a good 30 minutes or more of additional story. Unlike most instances of this it did not hurt the film, but an extended cut could be a blast.

A friend saw this today and assumed the ending
I love the possibilities and hope that this leads to more people checking it out. Here's hoping the second week doesn't drop that much in terms of gross.

Saw it Sunday. Enjoyed it quite a bit and I appreciate the fact that the "groundhog day" elements weren't overly done --- meaning when he did repeat the day we didn't have to live through every event again in full (or almost in full). That was one thing I disliked about GHD as it caused the movie to drag until he started doing new things.
Good effects, good action, good story. Like you guys I felt the ending was a small let down. Still a good 4 star action flick in my book. Wouldn't have minded a little more from the battle scenes either.

I might be able to buy it, they way I'm thinking (which I think is pretty much what you are saying)...

I just thought was cool that that's what they thought the ending meant (EOT), because I didn't get that impression at all.

Minority Report was perfect. There was only one sequence in that film that should have been re-written and I only noticed it when a friend pointed it out to me.

well wow - that was a blast. I know that the reviews have been fairly positive, but on the whole what a movie!
the 3D conversion was excellent and the Dolby Atmos mix was on par with last year's Tom Cruise sci-fi pic: 'Oblivion'

Saw the movie with my wife and son.
All enjoyed it a lot.
Time Travel is one of my all time fav Sci-Fi movie types, so I was really looking forward to this.
The movie was all I was hoping for and more.
2nd best movie I have seen this year, X-Men the most enjoyable, both movies have to do with time travel so no wonder they are my favs.

I saw this last night. Mostly to support a film in the theater that WASN'T a sequel or a superhero movie.
I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It was fairly predictable but the aspects of re-living the same day over and over were filmed in a way that always kept the plot moving and never felt tedious (which is what I was worried about going in). There was also a good amount of humor, particularly in a couple of the surprising deaths for Cage. For some reason Tom Cruise's screams made me laugh as he died.
The ending had me scratching my head a little bit but I don't think it detracted enough from the overall film for me to fault it too much.
Overall 3.5/5
