This is one of the most inspiring and delightful movies I've seen in some time. The cinematography was superb and the plot really drove you to love, care and connect deeply with each and every character. Now I'm a caucasian fellow, and have always made it a point to learn of the African people's flight over such cruelty and ignorance. I am always saddened seeing how poorly those Americans were treated and cheer when it's over come. I am not ashamed to say when things started to turn for the men in the movie, my eyes did well up proud that they succeeded and sad that they even had to. Just an absolutely wonderful tale of how they had to fight a two sided war. On one side the Germans and on the other prejudice. Now just imagine how much easier that war would have gone had they been embraced as brothers in arms from the start.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Mixed feelings

Over all I enjoyed seeing the Muppets on the silver screen again. I laughed several times, and got some happy nostalgia moments when they touched on some of the classics. However I was disappointed with the lack of Frank Oz with his experience and influence. He was also writing a script for Disney, but they opted for for Jason Segel's script instead. It makes me wonder how it would have been with Frank, and I sincerely hope he is given the chance to do a Muppets movie again, and wonder how it would have turned out with him. I will add this one to my collection when it comes to dvd.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My Fiancé' is a fan of the series, and I've taken her to all of them so far. She enjoyed it, and it made her happy, that's what's important to me. It's a good date night flick.
The movie continued the story well. It kept the dark feeling of the book. Although there were a few changes from the paper version I can honestly say I enjoyed it. However, I saw it on the mega sized screen and during the scene with the catchers I nearly had a seizure. Something about the way they film those scenes where they bounce all over from person to person in rapid concession, hurts my eyes and brain. They didn't do it when the Death Eaters were chasing Harry, but did with the catchers, very annoying. But aside from that I felt it was a wonderful experience.
