I took my husband to see the special edition since we never got around to seeing it in the theaters the first time. His comment was "It was the most visually stunning movie I've ever seen."
I took my almost 3 year old to his first movie and we had a blast. He cried at the incinerator scene and I thought some of the fist fighting was a bit much. However, I laughed out loud and even cried at the end. We will definitely do this again. Maybe not the 3D - my son kept taking his glasses off...
