I saw Hidden Figures and I I was super impressed with the character development and plot formation throughout the movie. It got great reviews but I'm really curious to see what you all think/thought about it.

My thought was wow, wowza, wowza. It was so good. I loved all the ladies although they made the one look like a black version of Barbie. They were spunky,strong, and above all smart as heck. It made me wonder how much more history like this is not shared with the world. There are stories that will be lost because they are not told.Stories like this of people in history that made the world better. If I could give it a million starts and Oscar's I would it was that good.

I actually have not seen the movie, but I want to. I still need to rent it off of netflix. It seemed like a very interesting story line.

I agree, everyone keeps telling me that it is such a great movie. I will try to watch it soon.

I thought the movie was fantastic. The characters were well developed, and it sent a very powerful message.

When I was watching hidden figures, it made me feel like I was part of a timeline that not even my parents existed in. I usually do not like 'history' movies but hidden figures is my first and ,better yet, the best movie of all time. The actors and actresses were amazing.

Hidden Figures was fabulous. The director had such a commitment to creating an authentic setting that he actually had a professor from Georgia Tech come on set to write the formulae on the chalkboards. I also appreciate that it told the stories of overcoming injustice in a way that was uplifting and encouraging to everyone. It made me feel like I could fight for those principles myself and be better than I am. Such a great film!

I didn't realize there was a book. Hidden Figures is now on my list to read. I loved the movie and thought it was well done. Can't wait to read it.

I don't normally watch history movies this was a first. I was so impressed it made me swell with pride. These women were so smart and bold. I will have to add the book to my 'to read' library and read it.

Great reviews, I might watch it too.

I really enjoyed the movie which makes me want to read the book and see what else there might be to share. I thought the movie did a good job highlighting what it was like for the Women of Color to work in such an oppressive environment.

Hidden figures is a good movie that teaches us hard work and resilience. I loved the plot.

I love Hidden Figures. I think it is incredible that they made such an impact and got so little credit, even from their co-workers. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I was. They should have been in every U.S. history book. What they did was very important.

Omg. I stumbled across this movie a few weeks ago by mere chance and loved it so much!!!

I honestly had no idea what to expect going into this movie, but I ended up really liking it! I thought it did a great job of portraying the time period, and watching the three ladies work their way up in their careers through their own determination and intelligence was very inspiring to watch.

I also had no idea that the movie was based on a book. Well, now I have something else to add on to the ever-growing list of books I need to read!
