I found it qa fitting entry into the series. Well placed characters throughout and the leads do their part. Sure, the anarchy vibe is a bit obtuse, but that's part of the charm. The soundtrack was really well done as well and lent itself to the mood of the film. Not a must see, but if you enjoyed 1 and 2, may as well see 3 ! C+/B-

It was okay. I think they were going for a 'Twins' vibe, but not enough scenes to let the rock shine as the dumb oaf. He also fell in and out of character. It was an okay movie and I'll give it a ... C ... rental / Netflix

It was surprisingly good. I feel it dragged out a little bit as though they needed to hit that 90 min mark. Some tense scenes but the ending was lackluster. C+

I liked it. I thought the film didn't try too hard to be anything other than mindless fun. The acting was passable. I'll give it a B-

I gave this movie an F. From the opening scene with dory I was very annoyed with the voice of the character and the little fish itself. Something rubbed me the wrong way. When she explained her memory problems, they were a mix of short term, but than also threw in the typical adhd joke ... 'oh is that the color purple' which distracted her. I forgave that scene and continued on. Sure enough, dory brought this memory issue up every single time, further annoying me. I gave it the benfit of the doubt and thought the side characters would pick up the slack. 20 minutes in, formulaic, bland. Spit joke off a turtle ... no laughs. 40 minutes in, nothing interesting. I checked out after that. Finally the seals showed up for a brief moment of comedic relief. The squid was funny and underutilized. We spent $200 on the day out with this movie. An F.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had me captivated from the beginning outside the hotel and kept me intriuged until the end where it sort of left a bad aftertaste. I'd grade it an A if the ending was a bit tighter, but I'll go with a B since it was a solid flick for 3/4's.

This movie had me almost balling my eyes out. I thought I was going through menopause. I normally don't get choked during movies, but watching his physical health detoriate was heart breaking. My mom was a mess, she was crying the entire movie. Something about the movie seemed to tug the heart strings. Asides from the deterioration of the body which was well documented and executed great ... the rest of the movie wasn't up to par. If the rest of the movie had as big an emotional impact it probably would have been one of the best movies I watched, but the meandering and untouched areas left something on the table. B

Saw it in 2D. Parents didn't want to see 3D. Not sure if that makes any difference. I haven't read the book and I saw about half of the Desolation of Smaug ... I don't know the characters that well or much of the clans/races. With that said, I found it enjoyable. I really liked the battle sequences. In a lot of movies the bad guy/s tend to get beat really easily, but in this one that fight with the one guy on the ice went for a while and legolas was in there as well fighting. I liked that I wasn't sure if they would actually beat them. I got a bit confused as to who was what, what was the importance of which relationships and where the heck the bears and birds came from, but as I stated, I was never an avid follower of the sixology. Thorin going into madness just seemed more like he was being a brat. A cool scene was when the floor turned gold and he was getting sucked into the greed, but for the most part it was just poorly done. The entire logistics of the fight was quite strange, couldn't really figure out where everyone was coming from. The scottsman as the red haired dwarf was good stuff, the dwarves were slow but powerful, that definitely showed. It was 2h 25m or so, normally I get ancy during longer films but this one was enjoyable. That one guy who didn't want to fight and dressed up as a lady, that could have been handled better. I thought for sure he was going to somehow become a traitor and do something crazy, but it never happened. Just a few random thoughts. Overall an enjoyable movie. B Edit : That scene with the ghosts and the guy from the matrix and that other pretty actress, I totally didn't know what that was about. I also wanted gandolf to pull of some insane magic, but I guess it's not in the book.

I searched the forums ... didn't come up Kingdom of Heaven (2005) Troy (2004) Alexander (2004) King Arthur (2004)

Yes, the intelligence of each character was inconsistent. Jeff Daniels was teaching Jim Carrey how to read in the first movie, this move, Jim Carrey was teaching Jeff Daniels how to say "subtle" properly. Jim Carrey was also pretty good with a smartphone, knowing to get higher ... knowing how to put his own wallpaper in the daughters phone and have his phone number programed in there.

There was nothing funny happening for the majority of the film. For the first 10 minutes I got excited and felt nostalgic and I couldn't wait for the big laughs that myself and the audience would be enjoying. 1h 50m later everyone got out of their seat and exited as though it all never happened. They went full retard. You never do that. The Farrelly Bros. rely on the original formula to draw up the new script and it was hit, miss, hit, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, almost hit, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, the end. The audience was a good barometer on how I felt. A sporadic 'HA!' every 5-10 minutes from one part of the theater or another. Nobody laughing in unison. The digital era doesn't help one bit. Nothing redeemable here.

Batman Begins and Memento are my favorite 2. A The Prestige / Inception are really good. B+ The Dark Knight didn't do it for me. TKDR I haven't watched the whole thing through. Less comic book like, boring crime thrillers with a batman coating, in my opinion.

There's no indication from other novermber releases around $50m non-animation making more than 3x multi's aside from james bond. $150m seems solid. Possibly $175ish depending on what other movies do.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World , 2003, Russel Crowe flick.

Hunger Games is out in 2 weeks. Might cause issues with Interstellar, maybe not though since 75% were 25yrs and older. I am personally never going to watch Interstellar as it doesn't appeal to me. I loved Batman Begins and Inception though, but this movie seems a bit more dry. Me and my old man were watching the trailer for the movie and it was uninspired. November is a bad month unless it's a huuuge popcorn flick, mostly animation that rules with 4x multipliers. http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/month/?mo=11&p=.htm
