Took my grandson to see this. Wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it was really a fun movie. Lots of laughs...worth it to see the Rock sporting wings! Julie Andrews was perfect as the Fairy Godmother, Billy Crystal was a hoot. Ashley Judd was restrained but beautiful as the mom, and there were plenty of hilarious moments. A great family movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Heard so much about it from friends, I decided to see it, and am I glad! The 3D experience was amazing and the movie is incredible! Sets the bar very high for future films of this sort. From the CGI to the acting, this film has my vote for the best picture of the year! I'm telling you, don't miss it! I am planning to see it again soon.
On several levels, this is an awesome movie. Heath Ledger is in top sinister form as the Joker, but Christian Bale's and Gary Oldman's acting chops are used too little. Loved the explosions, the amazing makeup, the dark humor breaking tension a bit, the non-stop action. A nail-biter at times, but some things that should have been a surprise were not-so-subtly revealed early on. Aaron Eckhart did his usual solid job, and Maggie Gylenhall (sic) was satisfactory as the love interest. Although I wish the fight scenes had been a bit more lighted, nonetheless, this was a movie that one could see many times over and not tire of. Highly recommended, but much too intense for the very young.
