The movie is good. I bet it will be the first superhit of the year. I just would have liked it more if they had stuck to the one struggle in the movie and not made it into a system catharsis.
I happened to see a movie 'John Q' on DVD. John Q was never released to the theatres but was a made for DVD. So clearly it is a low budget, designed for specific audience type movie. It is about an ordinary family and their son who has some kind of heart disease and needs a donor heart. The father (D.Washington) manages the money for the surgery and the organ with great difficulty. And then its a matter of getting on top of the hospital's priority list. The hospital obviously is manipulative of this list. It is a list of who can donate more to the hospital rather than who needs the donor organ most. So to get his son on the top of the list the father takes the hospital hostage. The good thing about this movie, which btw is a true story, is that it stuck to a single point agenda- the struggle of the character. It did point out the flaws in the system but never digressed from the main plot. This is what RDB lacked.
I would say it is worth watching the movie once. Just about ok to watch it on video for a second viewing. Definitely not worth watching in theatre for the second time. But who am I to suggest. There are nerds among a billion people who would just do that! (and BTW make it a superhit).
