The previews didn't really do the movie justice imo...

It was portrayed as a kids movie... clearly after watching it, it was more.

While the CGI was basically non stop.. and top notch, very very impressive, the overall movie was actually very unique and very interesting, i thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was good from start to finish.

So what if it's a kids movie, it's rated PG! For kids! I figure it's probably a decent flick but I'm not sure I want to sit through a 2 hour plus extended version of the Podrace in SW: Episode 1.

I want to see the movie but it feels like it was made for 8-10 year olds. Not bad for them, but...

i find more and more of the pg films better over all...

no sex scenes (stupid)
no unnessary fowl language ( cmon every other words doesn't need to be some form of a swear...)
Usually more creative cause they have to actually write something interesting.

Saw a preview on the Tonight show where John Goodman fights a ninja tnen makes a bad pun. I then decided this movie was not for me.

I'd rather have the occasional sex scene (or at least suggested sex like in Iron Man) and the occasional cursing than fart and fat jokes which occupy most childrens movies.

Tbh I can't stand the Wachowski brothers after those lame Matrix sequels I kinda want them to fail so they'll come back down to reality...how's that gonna happen if they get my money at the theatre

Sounds exactly like the cartoon series, which is really what I think they were trying to recreate.

Personally, I hated the show as a kid, so I doubt I'll end up seeing this.

Ditto I think I'd rather watch the old cartoon than this.
