Great, but don't waste the premium on 3D

When you think about this series, you imagine all of the scenes for which 3D would have been awesome. Imagine Jack Sparrow or Angelica walking into your field of vision. Or the frenzied scene with the mermaids. Or the escape from the Duke's court. Or Barbossa's surprise. But the film uses 3D in but a few scenes and only mildly. Don't expect the typical 3D where characters seem to jump off the screen and appear inches away from your eyes...close enough to touch. Disappointing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great fun! Cruise is back

Took family to see this movie. Surprises at every turn. Tom Cruise is part Risky Business, part Mission Impossible, part Jerry McGuire and part Top Gun...all combined into a new character. Cameron Diaz is gorgeous...the girl next door with real...not Ninja...fighting skills and an interesting hobby. Go see this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Touching Sports Film

Ms. Bullock is convincing as a socialite with a love of college football, heart of gold and tough exterior which surfaces as she responds to a threat with, "...I'm in a prayer group with the DA, a member of the NRA and I'm always packing..." (a gun). She explains Big Mike has changed her life. And in that statement, she summarizes the film. Tim McGraw, is in a supporting role until he challenges Big Mike with Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade" and the inter-related roles of courage and honor...a key inflection point in the film. Quinton Aaron, Big Mike is a bear of a young man who "scores 98% on protective instincts." Expect some great moments on the high school football field as a result.
Warm, touching holiday movie.

Disappointing

Have been a fan of Steve Martin and the Pink Panther but this one was awful. Same tired humor..."hamburger," "karate" and lots of slapstick. Andy Garcia's character was humorous and Lily Tomlin was enjoyable. Wait for the DVD and then watch it only if nothing else appeals to you.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
