Thanks for that-might book for next week

lilolilmanchester · 06/07/2008 20:03

thanks Spophable. DD (10) wants to go, glad we'll probably enjoy it too from what you wrote.

hertsnessex · 06/07/2008 20:04

we went today and thought it was rubbish. ds's are 3 and 4.

other films we have taken them to are madagascar, cars, bee movie, and others like it.

this was a great disappointment.

god cars is the biggest load of mindless, plotless idiotic poo ever. and this was loads better than bee movie.

it's not toy story. but it's great.

Madagascar was ace, cars was crap in my, DH's and DC's (15 and 10) opinon...

myermay · 06/07/2008 20:08

Can i just mention that we were going to go and see this today and i went to book me, dp & our 3 & 5 year old tickets and nearly fell off my chair when the bill came to 31 pounds! now am i being exceptionally tight or is this the going rate now for cinemas'? we haven't been in ages and couldn't believe how expensive it is. Luckily the sun came out and we went out on our bikes instead!!!

nervousal · 06/07/2008 20:14

we went to see it today as well - and thought it was great (me, dp and DD (4)). Went early so £12 for the 3 of us + a fortune for pick and mix!

Good. Funny but not too clever-clever. Looks stunning. Dh loved it. Dd (3) loved the bits she stayed awake for - and so did I !

hertsnessex · 07/07/2008 09:22

i like jack black, but didnt like the film. The tickets were £20 for 2 adults and 2 children, not bad really.

hockeypuck · 07/07/2008 09:27

myermay - if you wait till half way through the school holidays it will be the kids film one week, so every day at about 11am for 7 days all four of you will be able to get in for £3 ish. If you can dissuade your DCs from whining about seeing it until then!

myermay · 07/07/2008 11:29

ok thanks -i will wait until then!

WilliamGray · 07/07/2008 11:29

yes very good reivewis

Tortington · 07/07/2008 11:30

saw it last night

it was ok i laughed a couple of times.

streakybacon · 07/07/2008 12:52

We went on Saturday, loved it. DS laughing out loud was as funny as the film. It was much better than I'd expected it to be, tbh. Loved the dumpling fight, and the peach tree.

BarbadosMama · 16/07/2008 17:19

The film looks fun and I am tempted to take DS1 (age 5) to it. He is a bit excitable when playing with friends and I am nervous that it will encourage him to try out some flying kicks! Anyone who has taken kids to it had a problem with them acting out the actions?

Buda · 16/07/2008 17:25

We are just back from it. About 6 quid for DS and I here in Budapest!

I thought it was OK. Not fab but a few funny bits. DS laughed a lot and really enjoyed it.

He did do a few kung fu moves afterwards but nothing major. Mind you he is watching wrestling now!

climbanymountain · 18/07/2008 14:02

So definitely OK for a 4 year old who walked out of Ratatouille bored to tears??

piratecat · 18/07/2008 14:04

bee movie was pants, dd hated it. I am looking forward to seeing Wall e, it looks great!

climbanymountain · 18/07/2008 14:06

anyone seen wall-e?

PinkTulips · 18/07/2008 14:07

dd is 3 and loved it. as did dp and i.

some really funny moments and great one liners and the visuals are pretty damn cool

if you don't like jack black or kung fu though not sure how you'd take it.

piratecat · 18/07/2008 14:11

few mixed reviews there on the wall e thread.

it looks cute, i think i am going to love it.

what was that movie yrs back with the robot, i enjoyed that one!!

maidamess · 19/07/2008 19:28

I love Jack Black...but I didn't like this.

The action scenes are so manic and fast, its hard to tell whats going on. The animals are cute enough. But I only laughed once.

And we left half way through (Ds coughing like mad and saying he was hungry)

Can't remember the last kids film I saw that I thought was any good. Probably Ice Age 2.

Aero · 19/07/2008 19:37

My dd was taken to see Wall-e today, and said it was great.

Were you thinking of Short Circuit piratecat?

We'll probably go to see Kung-fu Panda next week as we have a 10yo 'karate kid' in the house and a 4yo avid movie fan! Dd will probably enjoy it too.
