Jim

then thats the best way to see it.

I saw it that way and ejoyed it///

Then I went home and read up on all the characters in the movie!

[fazman]

No not yet. It tough to get the wife to go to almost any comic related movie !!

So I usually wait until it's in the 3 buck show and then she O.K. with that. Hmmm....maybe she on to something.6 bucks for the movie,12 bucks for popcorn and pop !! Oh, she always saving me money !!

12 bucks for popcorn and pop

 

Who calls soda, pop still? i don't know to me it's always a soda around here.I usually go to the matinee shows cause it's cheaper and don't buy any popcorn or drinks while i'm there...I did see Underworld and grabbed a small pepsi $2.75!!! for about 12 ounces Last time I get anything,I see these people in the theater that just sit there who paid 9.75 to get it,then a large popcorn,Huge @$$ drink candy ect... $50.00 to see a movie now. Hope they didn't think the flick sucked...

Had no preconceptions going in, I though it was terrible.

I thought it was very good. Full of action, entertaining story and what not. Sure the people who are looking to be intellectually stimulated at movies aren't going to get that here. But if you're looking for something fun, it's definately worth seeing.

Who calls soda, pop still?

 

I still slip and call it "tonic" sometimes.

[awe4one]

I agree. It was pretty good. It's a very clever premise.......

Loosely connected to the comic. Very loosely.

[Comic_Diva]

I'd never read the story either, but I liked the movie. It was entertaining and that's what I paid for.

[musicmeta]

I think I'm going to watch this movie. I never heard anything but bad reviews from those stuffy critics and other non-comic folks so it's nice to read that people on this forum liked the movie.

POV, I thought we agreed that we'd always refer to it as "seltzer," come hell or high(ly carbonated) water...

[supapimp]

i saw the movie last night on DVD, and i liked the movie very much. some of my non fan boy friends said it was good up until the end where it fell apart....i didn't know or saw what they were talking about?

[chromium]

Saw it last month and it was a lot better than I was led to believe...

True it doesn't hold a candle to the comic, but what movie does....

Just in case you ever wondered... here's what the Harvard Dialect Survey found:

Its amazing that most all native Texans refer to soda drinks as Coke. It could be an Orange Fanta, and people will still say "You want a coke? I got Orange or Sprite or Dr Pepper"

no mr. pibb!?!

[texasknight]

About all you can get nowadays is that crappy "Pibb Xtra".

I miss the days of the good ole Mr Pibb. A good slug of that and you could do the ABC's with the belch you'd get.

Finally watched it on dvd last week with the wife. She barely made it through the movie and really didnt like it. I thought it was brainless fun. Neat premise that could have been a lot better but was ok. I havent read the comic but might pick up the TPB to see what a well written version might be like. The ending left a sequel open, think it did well enough to garner one?

[murph0]

I believe it did 80 million in ticket sales in the US. Not sure how it did overseas nor do I know what it cost to make it. I hope they do make another as it IS a pretty good story.
