We saw the movie just last night over at Rockaway 16 theaters. I picked my usual seats (right in the middle!) and certainly enjoyed the total experience. Good to see that the traditional storyline was followed. Of course Jim Carrey is always full of energy, but also really enjoyed the Oldman, Firth, and Hoskins characters. It got a little loud at points, so I had to cover my ears (it was most noticeable when the hammers hit the bells). In general, it was really neat to see how many technical aspects of this type of movie-making have already improved (for example, Polar Express - loved it) in such a short time. Happy Holidays - may this be a part of your's.
