Filmcritic.com
Jason McKiernan "...it looks incredible and feels increasingly leaden and cumbersome as the story unfolds." more... B-

Saw it in Imax 3d Wed night. Damned impressive. I'll take your word for it, hope it is better than the whip original...only good part about the first one was the music reminded me of the arcade game. |

Saw it on Friday, I enjoyed it. The story was a bit slow and the movie dragged at certain points but the visuals and scenery were very cool looking. The action sequences, especially the disc battles and light cycles, were exciting and fun to watch. The CGI on CLU and younger versions of Kevin Flynn looked really plastic but I'm sure it would have been hard to expect more. The guy playing Sam Flynn and the chick playing Cora did decent acting jobs. My favorite character though was Zeus, he had alot of great schtick. Overall...thumbs up!

DANGIT!
Bob, I avoided this movie this weekend (went and saw The Fighter though) because you gave it thumbs down. Now we have TWO thumbs up on the board so I'm going to see it and if it is good I'm kicking you in the junk.
