It was somewhat better than awful, but not as good as ok.

The special effects (especially Sandman) were excellent. Better than that in Sandman's case. But the people stuff was sub-average, and I found myself not caring about any of them about three-quarters of the way through the movie.

People were popping up out of their seats before it was over--there's a scene that looks like the end, but there's one more scene.

I will be celebrating the completion of my last ever undergraduate assessment with people on my course, after 8 hours of listening to people's dissertation's presentations (and, y'know, giving my own). :)

Really it was Fun rather than Great, but that'll do. Some terrible bits but oh so very shiny.

Might go tomorrow to the cinema round the corner and see it in Spanish :-)

I like that icon. I also like the comic it comes from, which I could well have gotten from a recommendation in your pages. pixels. whatever.

Movie was shiny and very gripping, if not grand cinema.
Audience reaction to a specific scene still has me shaken though.

Should be able to make it.

It was o.k. The eye-candy was very nice as befits the budget. I have liked that characters in this franchise are not immune to death, unlike the case in comics.

It's amazing how audience reaction can completely alter the tone of a scene (referring to Bernard).

Parts of it came across as supers-group-therapy; too much angsting.

There were cringeworthy bits (uh, Travolta).

It was a satisfying ending.

I think three is a good number and that they should stop now.
