Relatively good
PostedNovember 14, 2011
Like the actors' performances. Since I already knew the story behind the bull, I was wondering if/when its use would be revealed.
However, the tinkering with the actual stories in the mythology make the movie inaccurate. The Greek gods meddled in the affairs of men all the time, so Zeus killing his son Apollo for saving a mortal was actually very out of character. It was also somewhat amusing for a 'pantheon' of ... 5 (?) gods to take on the Titans. I gues the producers couldn't find enough actors to play the rest of the gods/godesses?!

Great movie
PostedDecember 28, 2010
With so much information in the book, book 7 has been split into 2 movies, of which this was the 1st. Can't wait for the finale!
Also, would almost wish that they had decided to do this for earlier books in the series, which left out many things in order to fit the story into one 2.5 hr film.

great movie
PostedNovember 22, 2010
It's been quite a ride with this series. The producers could have split other books into two movies and not had to summarize as much. It was very important that this is a two part movie to stay true to the books. Waiting anxiously for the last one, and the remaining extended versions on blu-ray.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great - and funny - movie
PostedNovember 8, 2010
The trailers made this look like it would be good to see, and it was even better than that! Hilarious in appropriate spots.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Absolutely GREAT movie!
PostedJuly 19, 2010
This is a GREAT movie! So much is going on, that we want to see it a few more times to pick up even more of the details ... What a concept! And, performed brilliantly! My daughter and I found ourselves frequently on the edge of our seats, and had to remind each other to sit back and relax! Totally engrossing!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good Movie
PostedJuly 4, 2010
I'm not up on the details of the TV series, so I thought the movie was pretty good. However, my daughter, who has watched the TV series, was disappointed, because too much was left out, actions weren't the same in both (i.e.what happened to the northern water bender princess). She also thought the special effects weren't as good as could be. I thought that the author of the series also produced/directed this movie. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great show
PostedJune 21, 2010
Good character development. Great scenery (China). Views of Kung Fu students and practioners, and skills shown were amazing. Respect shown at the end by the dojo students was both gratifying and appropriate.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great movie!
PostedJune 14, 2010
Good plot and characterization! I was kept on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next! Great job by the actors/actress. Neat special effects of the desert environment and the 'sands of time.'
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best new movie of 2010!
PostedApril 10, 2010
As soon as we started seeing the trailers, we wanted to see it. Later trailers had my daughter thinking it may be not worth seeing, but I 'twisted' her arm ... and we saw it first in 3D, and then went back the next day to see it in IMAX 3D! She absolutely loves it! A teenager, she didn't want the typical Disney-type movie where the producer hits you over the head with a lesson ... this movie had a lesson, true, but it was skillfully applied. This is a movie to be enjoyed by ALL ages (taking into account the PG rating) ... from young to old! She wants to go see it a few more times before it leaves the theater!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great movie
PostedMarch 8, 2010
Johnny Depp was superb! As was the Cheshire cat! The story line was belieable, as a follow-on with Alice returning to Wonderland. One thing that was a bit annoying was the White Queen's exaggerated arm waving, seemed like an overactive Italian Valley girl socialite.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
