I took kids and friends to the midnight show - for an old guy like me Friday at 9 would have been fine. Good movie, well made. Sadly so many GREAT actors get a about 2 minutes screen time each because there is so much ground to cover. Can't wait for the grand finale!
In a way I am frustrated by how over-hyped the movie was. I don't know if anything could live up to such super high expectations. All in all I thought this was a good movie with excellent animation and a decent plot line. It is a dark story and I have heard of younger children being frightened by it. I am planning to see it again, to enjoy the excellent artwork. The closing credits are among the best I've ever seen - and we enjoyed seeing the the names listed of the literally hundreds of animators that worked on this film.
