When I saw the trailer for this film I knew I just had to see it....and I definitely was not disappointed! My husband and I saw the 3-D version Oz the Great and Powerful this afternoon and left with smiles on our faces. The special effects were absolutely outstanding, the dialog and story were extremely well written and drew us in right from the beginning, and all of the actors were top-notch and did an exceptionally wonderful job! We were engrossed in the story from beginning to end by a storyline that definitely did the original firm justice; this movie kept our attention with a great storyline, wondering directing, and absolutely amazing effects and cinematography. I cannot wait until this film comes out on DVD! This is absolutely a MUST SEE for any and all Wizard of Oz fans. Absolutely wonderful!!!!!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great cinematography, great effects
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have been looking forward to this moving for weeks, but found the film to be a very disappointing experience. For fans of the books, be aware that there are LOTS of major changes in this film that, in my opinion, had seriously detracted from the story in the book. There were several scenes that should have been included in the film that weren't. And, the story in the movie by far did not do this great book justice. The actors were good...the actor and actress who played Ethan and Lena were very good, the gentleman who played Macon was also good but his accent was way overdone and sounded very fake to me (I live in the South). I left the cinema feeling as if my husband and I had wasted our money. Also, this film felt very rushed...but, I do understand that they had to crunch a 563 page book into a 2 hour, 12 minute movie. If the second book, "Beautiful Darkness" shows up on film in the theaters I do not plan to waste my money on tickets to see it, as I already expect that it will vastly deviate from the original story just like "Beautiful Creatures" did. I would love to ask the film director and producers to please answer these questions: What happened with Lena's hair?...it should have been black hair. And, her car should have been Macon's hearse. Also, I would love to know how in the movie Macon could go outside in daylight....hmmm. Where was Ethan's dad and Marian? What happened to the storyline surround the Snow Dance at school??? Where was the scene where Ethan went into his dad's study and figured out the message his late Mom left for him? Where was the song "Sixteen moons" that had been building itself from the beginning of the book to the end? Don't waste your money on this film.
Pros good fx, good acting
Cons story doesn't follow book, film was rushed, lots of omissions from book
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I have been a die hard "Twilight" fan since the books first came out and I was a bit worried that the producers would make major changes to "Breaking Dawn 2". But, I sure was wrong about that! I really enjoyed this film from beginning to end and walked out of the cinema with a smile on my face. This was a GREAT movie and I am quite pleased that all of the key elements from the novel were included, but the beginning of the movie was a bit rushed. The producers followed the story line of the book and even added a scene near the end that caught everyone by surprise (when you see the movie you will see what I mean), but it fit in well and worked really great with the story. I do, however, wish they could have shown more of Bella and her new abilities as a vampire, but I realize the producers had a lot of material to fit in a short time period and had to condense lots of scenes to fit everything in. All of the actors were great and the effects were excellent, although, a couple of the effects used for Renesmee looked rather strange/weird. I was glad at the end when they named and showed photos of the the actors from all of the prior films who did not appear in this one....it was a nice tribute to them. All in all, I was extremely pleased with "Breaking Dawn 2". I can't wait for the DVD to come out!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great effects
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I grew up in the 1980's and just HAD to see this movie.... I definitely was not disappointed! The acting was excellent, the music was awesome and the story line was realistic. Tom Cruise did an excellent portrayal of Stacee Jaxx... I never would have pictured him in the roll of a rock star, but he did a great job and, believe it or not, he has a very good singing voice! There are some cameo appearances of various music artists who were big in the 1980's... so be on the lookout for some very familiar faces. There are also major references to the PMRC - those of us who grew up in the 1980's will remember what that was all about. There is quite a bit of sexual content in the movie that really is not appropriate for children, so please leave the kiddies at home. The film had lots of funny moments and had everyone laughing, and the soundtrack had the audience singing. All in all, it was a really enjoyable film, and I am really glad I had a chance to see it! I definitely recommend this movie and cannot wait for the DVD!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, humorous, awesome music
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I really must say that I enjoyed this movie. The story was well written, the dialogue was very good, the camerawork and special effects were outstanding. Charlize Theron's acting was excellent!!! This is the first time I've seen her act, and I was quite impressed with her interpretation of the role she played...kudos to her! Kristen Stewart's acting skills in the role of Snow White was definitely better than her acting skills in the Twilight Series....however, compared to the exceptional acting skills of Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart's acting fell flat. My husband thought that there were a couple of spots in the movie where it seemed to drag on a bit. However, I thought the pacing of the movie was fine. From the way it ended, I have to wonder if there might be a sequel in the making....we'll have to wait and see. All in all, I really enjoy this film and would recommend it. I do want to say, shame on those parents who brought the two young children (approximately 6 - 8 year olds) into the cinema to see this movie....this is NOT a film for young children. Please leave the young children at home and rent the Disney classic for them instead.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

From seeing the preview at a prior movie I was really looking foward to seeing Dark Shadows. I was definitely not disappointed....I enjoyed the acting and the storyline and was engrossed in the movie from beginning to end. The only thing I did not enjoy was when the electricity went out in the entire cineme complex in the middle of the movie forcing us to sit in an emergency lit cinema staring at a blank screen for 10 minutes until the power came back on. I'm not sure why others who went to the movie were expecting a comedy as the original series was a dark soap opera...I guess they are not familiar with the original series from the 1960's/1970's.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

Excellent movie - well worth the wait!
PostedMarch 26, 2012
I really enjoyed "The Hunger Games" and was very happy to find that the movie followed the book almost to the letter. The actors were all excellent and the actress who played the role of Katniss Everdeen was perfect for the part. In the book there was one spot where I was in tears, and I have to admit that I was in tears when the movie got to that same spot (hint: Rue). I also liked how the producers handled the violence versus the PG-13 rating. The PG-13 rating did not take anything away from this film. I definitely plan to see the movie again and am looking forward to seeing the next book "Catching Fire" on the big screen.....Kudos!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Elipse...well worth the wait
PostedJune 30, 2010
What an awesome movie!!! I've been a huge fan of the Twilight Saga since the beginning and really enjoyed the movie Eclipse from beginning to end. The way the text was morphed into a movie was well thought out, included all of the important details, the acting was great and the effects were top notch. I especially liked the way they handled the tent scene and the fight. I am looking forward to seeing Eclipse again and cannot wait until the DVD comes out. I also really enjoyed the music in the movie. I would recommend Eclipse to anyone. The way this movie was produced, they made so that even if you didn't read the book you would still understand everything that was happening in the movie with out any confusing moments. Which was the case in Twilight. .
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great film!
PostedApril 2, 2010
Although there were some differences from the original film, my husband and I really enjoyed it. The acting was excellent, the sets and scenes were incredible, and the visual effects were awesome! I agree with a prior comment someone made stating that the conversion of the film from 2-D to 3-D was not the best idea - in the fight scenes where there was a great deal of fast action taking place the video became very choppy/jumpy instead of smooth due to poor conversion to 3-D. By the time the movie was over I had a bit of a headache caused by this problem. Save your money on the 3-D and go see the 2-D version instead....it's a great film to see as a "regular" movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Twilight: Saga: New Moon
PostedNovember 20, 2009
OMG! This movie was soooooooooo worth the wait and has me salivating for the opening of "Eclipse" in June! "New Moon" was totally awesome and everything about this film, including the action, great visual effects, and the acting was a major step up from Twilight! It's a definite must see for everyone and the film is very true to the book. My husband also really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing it again next weekend. I went to the 1PM show on opening day and the theater was completely full! I'll bet a lot of business in my city were short staffed today! I hope everyone else enjoys "New Moon" as much as we did!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
