Anyone else see it yesterday???

I went to Chadstone to watch it after work (free screening tickets from work).

All the hype etc - was it overrated?? I think so.

Was OK - but I am glad to didn't pay to see it.

PS. Attempt not to post anything in here that may ruin the movie for people who haven't seen it yet.

I saw it last night at highpoint, it was ok, but not as good as the book (like most adaptations) but still a good story. The mouse eating popcorn and squeaking in the curtains next to us was a bit distracting though :thumbsup:

i still think the movie was good. for those who have read the book, of course it wont be THAT great cos you already know the story. I am sure people liked LOTR and the latest Star Wars movies as majority would never have read the books (me being one of them)

Anyone who hasnt will think its good as they wont have any idea about it. But the book is definitely better as it is more informative.

I feel the movie didnt do the book justice, they took out or changed parts of the plot that didnt improve the movie at all. There were a few one liners thrown in there for good measure, but i managed to be seated next to this chick who had the loudest laugh id ever heard, often laughing when no one else was. A little bit distracting.

Overall i give the movie 2.5 stars (out of five)

there are actually 9 books to the series...well that is what i am lead to believe. Check all the nerd forums. They all knew about the clone wars and stuff before the movies were made. They even have conspiracy theories haha

Who liked the Bourne Identity and Supremacy? Great movies, nothing like the books which were also great.

I liked both of those, got em on DVD but i didnt know they were based on books. Might have to go find them and give them a read.

Reading the Da Vinci Code later will probably be better as youll be saving the best for last. You wont be watching it picking the shite out of it for all the differences.

Tom Hanks should have started with Batchelor Party and ended with Big.

But... the book was enjoyable and the movie looks like a good thriller - just can't believe all the hoo-hah over it. People need to pull their heads out of their asses and remember it's not real.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
