I saw it and thought it was terrible, although maybe I was distracted.
I haven't been to a really popular, "blockbuster" movie like that in a long time, and it was maybe the worst movie experience I've ever had. I saw it last night at 10:05, so the place was pretty full. People were constantly getting out their cell phones and opening them so that the light was shining in the faces of everyone behind them. They weren't trying to be discreet about it, either - they were holding it right in front of their faces - and it happened every two or three minutes. People, you're not that important. Put the phones away for once in your fucking life, please. Free yourselves!
On top of that, there was a Mexican couple behind me who were having a conversation - in Spanish! - literally throughout the entire movie. I say that they're Mexican not because I'm racist, you understand; all I'm saying is, if you're going to talk through the whole movie (that you paid for), at least speak English so I can listen in. Is that too much to ask? On top of that, the male in the couple - who was sitting directly behind me - kept kicking my seat every couple of minutes. I turned around and gave him a look, but he still kept on. I had to get up and move to the seat next to mine right in the middle of the movie, which was pretty embarrassing. There was no kicking, but I still got to listen to them talk for another 45 minutes.
If I can help it, I'll never go to another nighttime showing of a popular movie ever again. I'll stick with my 12:50 p.m. showings of No Country For Old Men, thank you very much.
Since it seems like 90% of my posts are about a page and a half in length, I'll wrap it up and save my comments on the movie itself for another time. All I'll say right now is this - stop with the CGI already. We get it. The technology ain't there yet, friend.
