READ THIS before deciding NOT to see the Movie!!!

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2008)

First off, I am an easy going movie patron. I pay the price of admission to escape for a while and to be entertained. Thats it, plain and simple. I do not expect every movie to shake the world and be an Academy Award winner. I just expect it to be somewhat interesting and intriguing. With all of that said, I will tell you that the only thing you should pay attention to in the negative comments are the warnings about dizziness from the shaky camera effect. When the film first started it did take a little while to get used to, but you DO get used to it (most people anyway). It appears that some people prefer to have standard cookie-cutter movies spoon-fed to them, which is unfortunate. A lot of movies can be compared to an Amusement Park Ride. Either you sit down, suspend disbelief and go along with it or you look at all the gears on the ride, complain about the way the characters are constructed, and completely remove yourself from the experience. Honestly, when you go to Disneyland, do you allow yourself to enjoy 'Its A Small World' & 'Pirates of the Caribbean' or do you complain about the flaws in craftsmanship? This is the same thing. Its a Popcorn Movie with monsters, presented in a unique way. And you know what??? It's done really well if you allow yourself to enjoy it.
