I was relunctant at ffirst. But I saw it, cried and loved it. It doesn't rehash but opens the story. I was happy to see it. It reminded me of why you go to the movies.

I'm with you Phil.........I am looking forward to seeing it. I was at dinner last evening with a large group of people and asked someone if they had seen it yet. They replied that they had already seen the other two and how many ways can you retell the same story. I told him that I had heard from many people tha! t they really enjoyed the movie but he was dead set in his ways, he wasn't going to spend his money seeing a "rehash".

I think the aspect of the attitude of so many of these fol! ks I find
strange is the absolute venom with which they spit it out.
The other thing is that it's not "cool" to like something big and
commercial.
It's just another form of elitism from the old fart fan boy brigade.
Go see it, have a good time. It's a movie.
