1. But if you haven't seen "Nemo" yet...
KHEPHRA--You need to see that one--it's definitely NOT just for kids!:D

B-)

2. Pixar films leave me cold for some reason
I'll probably catch Nemo when mom buys the DVD.

3. Nemo was a lot of fun
Took my 4-year-old to it, there's plenty in there for grownups, plus the cartoon short at the beginning is really cute.

6. I want to see it!
I'm a sucker for good Kids movies. I hated Shrek, but Ice Age was very cute.

I bought a big Nemo balloon at our local fireworks thing, and I got attacked by a 4 year old! He wanted that balloon, and he was'nt taking No for an answer!

5. I voted for the Hulk
I liked this film a lot, esp. compared to Spiderman. I have'nt seen Matrix or the other yet, so I can't say. I am going to see 28 days later this week though, my bro said it was great!

7. keph, if you like predictability and product placement..
then see T3. I mean, it was well paced, and had it's moments. But the cgi was unimpressive, and the whole premise, quite frankly, has gone a bit stale. Maybe I'm just being cynical cuz I was dragged to see that by the GF and her drunk friend, rather than seeing 28 Days Later like I wanted.

11. Legally Blond 2

Arianna Huffington said it was such a great movie. She took her
two teen aged daughters and the movie inspired them to "go out and
make a difference". As she said, I couldn't inspire them, yet this
movie did. I know, all you guys will say "Chick Flick" but
Legally Blond One was a terrific make you feel good movie and I
understand the second is even better. If I'm not mistaken, it's
number two, right under the Terminator... Hope all the teenagers in
the World go to see it and it inspires them as it did her daughters.
We need all the help we can get.

9. If you're looking for a straight action movie see T3 or Matrix
The Hulk really isn't much of an action movie, it attempts to be a semi-psychological examination of the Hulk's character, which I found to be rather poorly done. I would in fact say that Hulk is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while.

I haven't seen 28 Days Later (or for that matter even heard of it before reading this thread).

I enjoyed both T3 and Matrix, T3 is your typical fairly straightforward quality action movie. Matrix is also quite good, but makes you think (a little) more.

13. Wouldn't you rather see a good movie?
Rather than the usual mindless, adolescent, Ahnuld/Keanu dreck? Try The Quiet American: the acting, cinematography, and character development are all excellent, it actually has a plot which you can remember for longer than five seconds, and you might even learn something.

14. I've seen that already
It IS a great film, but it's also not showing where I'm going, even had I not already seen the movie.

15. Assuming you haven't seen any of them
Hey, we need instant runoff voting here!

Hulk, because you dig comic books.
Matrix Reloaded, even though it wasn't up to lots of peoples' expectations, I think you'll still enjoy it. You are also required to watch it in order to consider yourself a matrix fan.
28 Days Later: Shrug, dunno.
T3, it can wait, see option one or 2 before this. Besides, it'll be in the movies longer, hell they're only playing 'Reloaded' once per day at our local giga-enormous-happy-fun-plex.
