6/10 - I normally love Sidney Lumet movies, and I like the idea of the whole movie being a bunch of jurors debating in a closed room. But some of Henry Fonda's points seemed like reaches to me. E.G. Marshall's character was analytical, intelligent, and detail-oriented, but he couldn't remember the name of a movie he saw less than a week ago? Sorry, I don't believe it.

There's some excellent acting in this movie and the cast is great but the movie's "message" doesn't hold up under cross examination. 5/10.

The cast was a big reason I gave it a 6/10 (that and I love courtroom dramas). But by the end of the movie, I still thought the kid was guilty of the crime...lol.

I can agree that this is more or less filmed theatre, with talk talk talk talk talk for nearly 90 minutes, For me, I enjoyed seeing great american actors giving their best, for me 9/10

I like the remake better - maybe because I'm more connected to the contemporary language, style, characters and actors.
This one a 7.

One of my personal favorites. I'm surprised to see so much hate for this movie.

10/10. It was a film I heard about for many years before I finally got to see it, and it held my interest from start to finish.

By the way, when they tried to do a modern version of it - I saw it and I didn't think it was as good.
I think the actors in the original brought something to it that couldn't be replaced.
10/10

Just saw it. Wow. Gripping, thrilling, and riveting. This film just had me by the throat for the entire runtime.
10/10
