It was my husband's birthday present so I had to go. I actually made it through and was not disappointed! I loved the visual effects and he filled me in on the storyline before we got there...it's been two long since it was on TV! The only thing is that it was too long for me and too much action at times that it was hard for me to follow, otherwise, I would definitely advise to go see it.
I purchased our tix two weeks before because I was afraid it would be sold out - in which I hear it was. I never go on opening night, but I didn't want to know ANYTHING about the movie from ANYONE. Good choice! Unfortunately, the commercials, previews and talk-shows aired so much, I felt as if I'd seen the movie already! I was a skeptic about the movie in the first place. if you haven't seen it, go! You'll be pleasantly surprised :)
