I heard a rumour it's a bit, erm, pants. Is this true?

[chim_knee]

Going to see it tonight. I bought tickets last Friday and duly turned up at the cinema only to be told it wasn't released till "next week". D'oh!

Still, I only found out after I'd spent a fortune on hot-dogs/popcorn etc.

Not sure as I can be bothered to go tonight...

my arse was numb before the big fella had even made an appearance. Open mind required.

And how about after he had shown you his banana?

You'll probably need to wait a year or so for the specially extended DVD to be released. Only then will it all make sense..

[groucho]

I wanna see it.

Going to watch it on Sunday, can't wait!!

[remal]

just got back. Started 2PM, movie then started at 2:30 then I left at 5:40PM.

long movie but well worth it. an very well made family movie. not for young kids but most who went ( there was many 5-7 years olds there) and they really enjoyed it.


If you want a good enjoyable movie then go and watch it. Of course not for everyone but I liked it

[chris watton]

We're watching it in an hours time!

Be careful! I got banned from my local cinema for eating my own food in there while watching a movie.

I tried to explain that the prices at the concession stand were outrageous...and besides, I hadn't had a good BBQ in ages!

[remal]

I take bottle of coke, beer, crisps, bags of popcorn etc when I got. not all at the same time

cost me £6:30 each in my local WB or whatever they are called now. VEU, VUE whatever

I was there at 11.00am Thursday, clutching bag of snacks.

I thought that you could really feel Jackson's love for the original film , sticking closely to the plot without too much lateral deviation. We even got a bit of a back story on the blonde (and watch for the clever reference to Faye Wray being unavailable on another film!). Special effects, especially of the big fella, were superb. Not something I would take young kids to.

Watched it on thursday night.
Really enjoyed it
Found some scenes very humorous and others very beautiful.

So, the tickets were for Thursday night (15th). Not Friday 16th... twice now. I'm not going to try again!

Loved it, even if I did cry at the end (as normal)

[Extra 300 Driver]

Just got back from seeing this, I have to say I was very impressed.

Really good, some bits a little OTT for me, but I was crying my eyes out!
