took the kiddies to see this today. i'm not sure how much to use spoilers here because I don't want to go into too much detail until those who want to see it have seen it...

Not wanting to hit the spoilers to find out, as I do want to see it, but did you like it?

perry, take this for what it's worth (and you know how my opinions lay most of the time, I think) but I absolutely hated it.

Darn. Okay, how's about this .... do you think your feelings are because it was just a bad, poorly made movie or more because of the treatment or misuse of the character ... do you think? If you know what I mean

I wonder; isn't the movie essentially a mass-produced high end production fan-fiction?

Okay ... did it and ... Yep, I know you That's the reason I asked the question the way I did. When you said ... perry, take this for what it's worth (and you know how my opinions lay most of the time, I think) but I absolutely hated it.
I had to ask if it was the WAY the movie was made or the characterization because it could have been one way or the other, but I had one in mind. Gotcha

I didn't want to make anyone NOT want to go see it who maybe wanted to and who might actually enjoy it. besides, it's kinda hard to discuss the movie and what I hated about it with a bunch of people who haven't seen it.

I have no desire to watch it, but my daughter has been bugging me to watch it. Going to see it Saturday afternoon.

No, I'm not "going to go", but I will see it. I hate theaters with a passion and have only been pulled in by 4 or 5 movies in the past 8 years or so Actually, I wonder how many movies I have seen during that time? I know I never saw any Spider-Man movie in the theaters and only saw the last Nolan Batman movie because my daughter bought me a ticket ahead of time for Father's Day (as an inside joke). Those are two of my favorite characters and I didn't go see them, so that tells you how much I hate the theater experience. Even my other loves, like Sci-Fi and Horror can't get me into the theaters. I just enjoy immersing myself in movies at home too much, that I just find it better to wait for the DVD release. Of course lately, as in over the past 20 years it seems, there hasn't been a good horror flick worthy of theaters anyway (though after seeing the re-make of Evil Dead I could have seen that in the theaters. Enjoyed that one) EDIT - I will go see Guardians, Avengers 2, Ant-Man and the newly green lit Dr. Strange in the theater however, due to their ... importance?

Well if they (Hollywood) would start putting better movies IN the can, I would gladly get off mine Actually, that is not what it is, I just like being able to listen to the entire movie and not have to worry about kids, drunkards or any other form of life distracting me from my enjoyment. Plus, I'm old, man. Sometimes I need that rewind button for my ears and the pause button for my bladder Besides

I liked it. It was pretty entertaining. The stuff that bothered Jedicow didn't bother me. All the Disney-fied animated movies take liberty with the source material. Excellent performance by Angelina Jolie.
