[Miss Marple]

Ten of my family saw it tonight. All LOVED it, from the grandkids to my husband, who had never read the book. My husband, an engineer, was moved to tears by a couple of the scenes. My son, who is 37 and has read the books multiple times since he was 9, thought it was excellent. The grandchildren (who have not yet read but the first half of this book) loved it and couldn't quit talking about it. My sister loved it, and commented on how much trouble they had gone to to make the scenery and the characters resemble the book, and how well done the battle scene was.

I must conclude, Bob, that you have had a glitch in your taste gene. I am sorry you hated this movie, but your opinion is just flat out wrong. You are a very nice freeper, but you just didn't see this movie with the same eyes as my family. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Bob, We're not ganging up on you....

..I've met you...you're a very nice guy...

..but you must remember you carry strong influence here at FR....you have a position of authority.

Numerous folks I respect tremendously, have seen this movie and give the same account and have the same reactions of Miss Marple and family.

I haven't seen it yet....(out of town family visiting and too much running around)...

..but I plan to.....can't wait, actually!....and think you could have critiqued the thing without using the "S" word...(I know, I'm repeating myself)....

..whatever your point of view, this movie definitely does not S***......

..and it's raking in the dollars into the millions and millions.

All .....or a good portion....of those folks can't be wrong....

I didn't say I hated them movie, I was disappointed probably because it was hyped up so much.

My sister loved it, and commented on how much trouble they had gone to to make the scenery and the characters resemble the book, and how well done the battle scene was.

I saw "The Making Of Narnia" on TBN a couple weeks ago, and I was pretty impressed by the battle scene. The battle scene has something like 400,000 computer generated characters in it, each with their own distinctive intelligence and fighting style.
