Kevin's Watch

Took the kids last night. Pixar does it again!

I wont spoiler here, but my wife cried after the opening set up sequence, which was just brilliant. absolutely.

Go see this one.

We took Elora Grace to it on Thursday-it was wonderful!

We've been looking forward to this one. I might have to check it out in 3-d.

Going in an hour - haven't heard anyone say a single bad thing about this movie anywhere.

I WANNA! Is it bad form to bring a 3 week old into a theater who has diaper rash and is screamy?

As discussed in the Reader thread . . . screamy? Quite possibly bad form. But since it's a kids' movie, I think most people in the theater will cut you *some* slack.

Took my wife and girls to see it tonight, we just got home. This is a fantastic film, IMO the best that Pixar has ever produced. It was Indiana Jones fun at times and at other times there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including this soft hearted bastard.

Everyone, see this film. Highest possible recommendation.

Damn.
I was going to take to boys to it today, but the nine year old thought he was too cool for it.

We went bowling instead.

I saw one review of this movie that made me laugh. Something like: it's got this old man and a kid who go to an exotic far off land and have exciting and dangerous adventures ... everything that Indiana Jones 4 should have been, but wasn't.

Didn't see it, but the S.O. took my 5-1/2 yr. old future stepson and walked out after about 45 minutes. According to her, the plot is way above a young child's comprehension level, and some of the scenes scared the Hell out of him. Apparently there were other parents who left too.

I had my 7 and 4 year old daughters with me and they loved it. It's not Tom and Jerry, but they understood what was going on. There was 1 scene with a close up of a snarling dog that my 4 year old cringed at, but I can't think of anything else that frightened her.

My 6.5 year-old son enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty good. I'd rate it higher than Cars, lower than Wall-E.

Only bad part about it was the grown woman behind me who said "Awww" at every cute or sentimental part and "Oh no" at every sad part. Literally every time.

It's entirely possible that my stepson-to-be is just a big pussy. I dunno.

I know it's getting great reviews.

Ever heard of "bitch slap?"

Heh. I was severely tempted to turn around and tell her that if I want running commentary, I'd wait for the DVD, but... bunch of kids, and for once, I sat down in front of the person. Was lucky to find three seats together, since I got there at the end of the previews. Damned packed theaters.

My seven year old daughter watched the whole thing but later said it was too violent and that she didn't like the movie. She specifically mentioned someone wacking someone with a cane, and a sword fight. (I haven't seen it yet, so that's all I know.) She loves Tom and Jerry, Sponge Bob, etc., so I think this must have just been too realistic for her. She never had an issue with any other Pixar fare...

I did notice it was the first Pixar film with blood. Personally, I think we should man our kids up, put a little more violence in there; maybe Pixar should re-make Clockwork Orange for its next project...put Toy Story 3 on the backburner.

I rank it up there with Ratatouille and Toy Story 2 as my favorite Pixar flicks.

I concur with all of the positive reviews. Saw it last week. Standard Pixar brilliance. I just love how much effort they put into their movies in order to make them something special, and not just "yet another animated film."

The beginning setup to the plot was wonderfully done.

Quite possibly the best film by Disney/Pixar. Absolutely beautiful. Need to see it again.

Went to see it tonight with Cailette......Wow, what a great film. Totally not for kids, but a wonderful story beautifully told.
