Very Good

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2012)

This movie is very well done considering its target audience. If you want a violent movie with a lot of cussing in it, this movie is not for you. However, if you want a dramatic film that is a safer alternative, and something to take your kids to, then this is Perfect. Its violence and drama are on par with the Narnia series, and Woody Harrelson's performance will be enough to get a few laughs from all you parents out there. It is a little bit cheesy in the same way that most Post-Apocalyptic films tend to be, but over-all I found it very enjoyable. I was glad that I went to see this film BEFORE I even saw the trailers, or watched any of the cast interviews or anything like that. I went it to the theater completely Raw, I had never read the books, or seen any of the "hype", and having seen the film First, and then investigated it further afterward. This film measures up to its publicity quite well. Do not base your decision to see this film based on what you've read, just GO see it and make up your own mind. In the famous words of Levar Burton on Reading Rainbow... Don't Take My Word For It.
