Personally I thought it was a really great movie. The movie critics here in Chicago gave it a really bad review saying that it was one of the biggest bombs they’ve seen in a long time. I’m not going to go into detail about it because I don’t want to spoil the plot for anyone, but I personally think its a movie worth seeing (IMHO) 🆒 Has anyone else seen it yet? If so, what did **YOU** think of it? ---

Sorry Moderators, this should have been opened in the " IN MY HUMBLE OPINION" section, if you’d be so kind as to move it for me, I’d really appreciate it. - Will be more careful in the future\* :o ---

Well, it really should have been opened in Cafe Society, since it’s about a movie. I just bumped up the thread on this movie that was already there though. ---

I saw it last night and thought it was a hoot. Not very realistic, no, but it had nifty effects and it was impressive. And it held my attention which is all I paid my money for, really. I went with a few fellow dopers and we had a good time whispering snide remarks to each other during the show. 🙂 ---

Our local critic gave it 5/5 stars for being an excellent B movie with great effects. I wouldn’t go into it looking for a in depth plot and great dialouge, but it seems good for pure entertainment value. ---

Critics are best seen and not heard. (actually, not seen either) Except Jonothan Ross. If he gives it a bad review then I will be :dubious: about seeing it. ---

It held my attention too, I really liked it because I got into the characters and the story a lot but while I was in the Theatre 1 person said out loud that the ending was “BullShit”. ---

Made me want to go buy a hybrid vechile, pack my lunch, and recycle my bathwater. But that is just me. Liked the movie, thought some parts sucked. But many movies but suck-y bits in them. If, like my husband, you have paranoinas or phobias about the energy crisis/global warming/NAFTA :eek: do NOT see this movie in the theatre–wait until you can do pay-per-view or rental. Hubby was a cringing pile of gagh coming out of the theatre and we had a screaming fight about absolutely nothing just because he was all hyped up and paranoid after the movie. :smack: ---

I saw it a few days ago, and enjoyed it. ---

This movie was sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I love this movie with all of my body (including my pee pee).
