Surprised by how much I liked it!


I didn't have high expectations watching this, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven't read the books, but one of my friends ruined the ending for me. Apparently their is a prequel book, what is it like in comparison to the original trilogy, worth a read?

Same sentiments. I had zero expectations, and was constantly waiting for the shoe to drop but it is entertaining. I'll be seeing the second one in a month for sure.

Don't like what I'm saying? Then call 1800-Ima-CryBaby and ask for Waaaaaa.

I watched it with my husband and brother in law. I always IMDb everything the moment it starts, and was shocked by the terrible user reviews! Normally I trust them. Now, I love film, but I'm not a fanatic and don't take films too seriously, such as looking for flaws and originality. We liked the film a lot. I was actually on the edge of my seat for most of it. I thought it was very well paced and exciting, so I don't understand what people are talking about

Same here. Much better than the average teenage-aimed blockbusters.
