Great Popcorn Movie
PostedDecember 26, 2009

I would rate this a great popcorn movie with a couple of negatives, mainly length. 2 hrs and 40 mins is a long time to sit. The story is not original, it borrows from other sources,the dialogue is awkward, especially in the beginning when used for exposition. Unattainium? Or whatever they called it.. a lame plot device as motivation. Enough negatives - CG was unsurpassed. Experiencing the world of the Navi was like being in a Natl Geographic thrill ride on another planet. These features alone make it worth the price of the ticket. The alien world was exciting and interesting and 3D really enhanced it. Suffer through the story to experience the wonderful visuals - it's worth your time. A new bar has been set for special effects in movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good movie, bad ticket buying experience

I purchased my tickets for the IMAX showing of Dark Knight on Saturday evening for 9:45 AM Sunday morning. When I arrived at the theater, the actual movie started at 9:30 am. This basically ensured that I did not get a seat even though, I arrived 30 minutes early and had pre-purchased them. The theater re-imbursed me and let me go to a regular showing, but overall my experience with Movie Tickets.Com was less than satisfactory. Next time, (if there is a next time) , I will check the theaters website and call as well to ensure that the time listed on Movie Tickets.Com is accurate. The movie was great, but this kind of soured my experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Iron Man is a fun ride!

I had high expectations for this movie going in and was not disappointed. Iron Man works on many levels and has so many elements to make it appealing - Classic popcorn movie, excellent comic book adaptation, clever story, lots of character growth with humor and great actors showing their stuff. Robert Downey, Jr is Iron Man and this is easily the best superhero movie since Spiderman. Note: If you are a comic book nerd who is familiar with the Marvel Universe, I urge to stay until after the credits - Jon Favreau leaves a present at the very end for you!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
