Anyone else watched it yet?

It's very good, but I watched the Alec Guinness TV version just prior, and so my mind kept jumping back and forth, kind of spoiled the film.

I'm trying to get the book read before I see the film. 10hrs on a plane this week should see most of it done so maybe go next week or the week after.

Granted, it won't be Transformers and for one, I'm glad about that!

Yes, I've seen it, and yes, it's excellent.

Dog's Bollocks, I wouldn't go, if I were you. There are significant periods of silence in it and a substantial amount of quietish talking.

Surly you would be happier watching the Smurfs or at home with a colouring book?

Cool

Went to see it last night. Very good, but the weak link in it is Gary Oldman!

Everyone is raving about his performance, but he was the worst in it. I suppose we have been spoiled by Alec Guiness's really.

Worth a watch though.
