Did anyone else pick their copy up today? IMO this is the best of the 3 so far, and as far as the books are concerned the next movie should be awesome.

Franz Ferdinand is doing the soundtrack on that one, apparently.

    I saw the first 2, I'm in no real hurry to see the 3rd one or anymore they come out with...

    I watched some of the first one. While it was shaping up to be a really good movie, I turned it off to read the next book instead.

    I'm actually a little suprised these movies don't get more attention here. Hmm...

    I want to see it, but I sold my receiver and there's really no point watching through tv speakers. Trey, the books improved immensely starting with the third, so you might check it out.

    I made an attempt last night to watch this one, but I failed to make it past the bus ride. The last thing I remember hearing is......Zzzzzzzzzzz..............Zzzzzzzzzzz.:D
    I was extremely exhausted after work yesterday. So..I fell asleep. I will give it a shot again tonight.
    The first two, I enjoyed. I was getting into this one as well, but just could not make it. My kids watched it and said they enjoyed it. From what I saw the PQ and SQ were terrific. I was startled on a few scenes when I was woke up from loud **** booms and blasts a few times.:D I will give my opinion tonight or tommorrow.

    Yeah I noticed they cheaped on on the packaging of the DVD as well. Maybe I'm all wet on this one, but I can't stand when my DVD rack is out of whack on a particular series of movies. What a petty thing for me to complain about!! :p

    I gotta say I enjoyed this one much less than the other two. I don't know why. I think the first half was kinda slow. And it was kind of a convoluted story line - I feel al ittle stupid being confused by a kids' movie :)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Finally watched it all the way through. I agree it was slow at first, but it picked up and turned out to be a decent film.

    I liked it...

    BUT - IMO... the original actor for Dumbledoor (sp) was much better, this one tried way to hard to act mysterious and he was goofy... lmao

    But anyways, this was a pretty good movie, more 'story' to it than the other 2, IMO...
