yea, seen it. Was looking forward to it, but wasnt overly impressed with it. Some funny bits, but story seemed a bit bland. Didnt know much about it before, but i guess if ur into it, u might like it more.

I don't know what it costs to go to the movies over your way, but I'd rather pay up than watch something with an annoying noise in the background and on a small screen.

It can't be *that* expensive....I think we paid $7/ea (USD) to see it this past saturday.

EscortWRC, true, but some of the ones my housemate gets us are amazing, DVD screeners before they are out in the cinema, and I know for most films i'd rather be at home, infront of the 32" widescreen, feet up on the sofa with a beer fridge next to me rather than driving into town, pay for parking, pay to go in a crowded cinema full of chavs with phones going off and have to sit in the corner getting neck ache, whilst drinking a Ł5 pint of beer after paying Ł7 to see a film

If you are out with a lady or fancy getting out the house then its all good (and some films like Star Wars / Matrix etc have to be seen in a cinema) but for other films it's just a load of hastle that ruins the film!

I saw it the other day. Its good but trying to fit a huge series or 4 books into a 2 hour movie was never going to be perfect. Some good funny bits.

I saw it at the weekend, and having not read the books, I didn't get it at all, and so didn't enjoy it one little bit. I just made noooooo sense at any point, had no storyline, and wasn't really funny. My advise is, if you haven't read the books, don't bother.

I don't know what movie theaters are like your way but here our cinemas are full of little chavs who think it's hillarious to throw sweets at people and go through their mobile phone ringtones throughout the movie.

I love films but hate going the cinema.
