Being over 50 I thought this was going to be a freaky, juvenile movie. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He's an action-packed movie watcher and was never bored during the entire movie! I didn't read the book....b/c I just don't read!....and have been told that it's not as good as the book.....it's DEFINITELY a must see instead of waiting for it to come out on DVD! It's positively the best movie out in theatres at this time!!
