Better than expected
PostedFebruary 4, 2012
This isn't your typical chest thumping, man against nature, bravado movie. Each man has a developed character which makes you care about whether they live or die. Death isn't glamorized in this movie. The acting was great; no false notes that I could see. Liam Neeson has always been an amazing actor in not so amazing films. Here, he brings such a depth of humanity to this character. My nephew and I really enjoyed this.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lovely Film
PostedDecember 7, 2011
I took my nieces and mom to see this movie, and we all loved it. It is a love letter to the film industry and it's continued preservation. The 3-D version is stunning, and I don't usually fall for the hype of watching a movie in 3-D. My niece turned to me at the end and said, "They actually used 3-D in this movie," and what she meant was the fact that you feel like you're a part of this film; completely immersed in the landscape!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Movie for all to enjoy
PostedAugust 3, 2011
I went with my mom, adult nephew, teen niece, and pre-teen niece, and we all came out of the theater having thorougly enjoyed this movie. The effects were great, and the character was so spot on from the comics. Can't wait for the Avengers!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Amazing Movie Experience
PostedJanuary 3, 2010
I experienced true movie magic when I saw this film. It takes you through this adventure across a world that instantly feels real to you. A few critics will harp that the plot and dialogue are formulaic, but they said the same thing about Star Wars; no one can argue about that movie changing our theater-going experiences thus far. I was drawn into the characters and their struggle because Avatar makes you empathize and care about these aliens. Don't get me started on the visual effects which I have never seen before in a 3-D movie. Everything looked real, not computer-generated realism, and that's what I believe draws you into the movie so quickly.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fun, Action Packed, New Spin on Sherlock
PostedDecember 28, 2009
Couldn't wait to see this movie after watching the trailer months ago. My mom all the way down to my 9 year old niece loved the movie. Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams all looked like they were having a blast on screen and that translated to the characters. I would definitely pay to see this one again in theaters.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wonderful Family Movie
PostedNovember 9, 2009
All of my sisters and I grew up watching and loving various versions of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." I knew that I wanted all of us to see this incarnation as a group with the next generation, our kids, in tow. What a wonderful experience we had from the very beginning. The movie captures all of the elements that the live action Carols have, and reminded me greatly of Patrick Stewart's television version. The only difference is all of the amazing things that they could do with the CGI and motion capture; in a word, gorgeous. You won't stop being drawn into the beautiful scenery and images coming out at you. The kids loved it and hopefully they will be watching this version with their kids for years to come.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Even Better than I remembered
PostedOctober 5, 2009
When my nephew was 4 years old, this was his favorite movie in the world. Now that he is 16, we all went to see the double feature in 3-D and it was amazing. We had to cram into the front row of a very crowded theatre, but it's all worth when the aliens in the claw game come rushing out at you!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lived up to the hype!
PostedOctober 3, 2009
I was so excited to see this movie and truly glad that it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere in the sold out theatre was charged in a positive/expectant way. You could hear a pin drop during all of the night vision scenes. The less you know about the movie going in, the better. It isn't about CG monsters or make-up; all just clever tricks of the camera, and great, honest, and raw human emotions. I loved every moment of it's tight, never a moment wasted, 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Perfect Comic Book Adaption
PostedMay 6, 2008
Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man! I had my doubts when I first read that he would be the lead in a movie that I was greatly anticipating, but he proved to be more than up to the task. The entire cast looked like they were having quite a lot of fun which made the movie viewing experience even more enjoyable. All in all, one of the best comic-book movies that have ever been made.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
