My 9 year old is reading this series of books and is on book 5 currently. So, he begged us to take him to see the movie and we chose a new theater called the palladium. Great facility almost Imax like seating and screen height. Along with a new cinema normaly you have the latest sound quality and I was not dissapointed at all, (although I prefer mine.)
Anyway, I told you all that so I would have some positives to say. PQ & SQ was very good, but the movie was boring to me. Now I generally will like movies that most think are not great such as IRobot or Van Helsing, but this movie bored me. I found myslef looking at my watch a couple of times. Jim Carey does a great job and I thought they did a marvelous job making him look differant for this movie.
I spent $26.00 for tickets and another $18.75 for two popcorns two drinks a skittle and a twizzler for the four of us and I felt like I spent 10 times that. Normaly I don't pay much attention to those things, but for some reason it bugged me to know I spent that much on a not so great flick.
So, I would recomend that you go at your own risk, but I would be interested to know who has been and what you thought about the movie.
