Brilliant, Funny, Thrilling, Poignant

This is destined to become a classic and will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greats, whether live-action, animated, or whatever comes next. It is great filmmaking, period. Disney/Pixar continue to raise the bar on computer animation. It's so fully realized, you never feel you are watching a cartoon. Great, clever story. Especially touching for parents whose children are soon bound for college. The 3D seems underutilized and almost unnecessary, although it definitely helps immerse you more in the experience. Paying more for IMAX versus a normal size screen did feel a bit of a waste. It's all about great story and snappy dialogue.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Feel-Bad Movie of the Summer!

"Dark" is definitely the operative word, here. This movie registered a solid 7.0 on the doom-and-gloom scale, rendering my wife and me utterly drained and depressed by the end. Where's the fun? This makes the Michael Keaton Batman movies seem positively goofy, but at least soulful, by comparison. To its credit, the film does have a faint moral message buried deep down in its black heart, if you're careful to sift through all the rubble left in its ultra-violent and destructive wake. But it still might suck out any remaining faith you had left in humanity. And it certainly could leave you dreading the future of "crowd-pleasing" blockbusters, if it's any indication of where they're headed and of the crowd they're hoping to please.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
