Saw this today...it nearly lost me at the bit with the goat! It got better after that......Some parts were just soo funny!! The visuals were stunning & i have to say this isnt my usual type of film however when a movie can make you feel emotions...(i had a tear at one point!) It gets a thumbs up from me 7/10 o/

We enjoyed this very much and certainly more than expected from the trailer. Visually stunning, good use of 3D, just a little draggy in the middle but overall worth getting up for!
Preferred Cinemas :
Richmond, Kingston, West End, Wimbledon, Shepherds Bush, Clapham, Westfield, Fulham

I saw this in 3D at Cineworld prior to release as a special preview screening for unlimited card members and thought was really good :D

Really liked this film.
3D was good, acting/CGI was good, storytelling was good and what violence there was, wasn't shown in too much detail.
I agree that the epilogue [spoiler](the way he tells the alternative version of events)[/spoiler] could be seen as the weakest part of the film but overall it's a double thumbs up.

I saw this at Panton Street today (finally!) and it was a great film - but Panton Street is an awful awful cinema. And it was an awful screening. So many people came in late and ruined the start for us.

1/2 empty Edinburgh. Thankfully it was warmer than Saturday, but no mince pies :-(

I enjoyed the story setting scenes, I thought they were really well done and perhaps another in the middle section would have helped a bit too for me as him alone with just the tiger, I found hard to concentrate on for too long as I kept thinking the tiger was CGI and that detracted.

I liked the 3D effects at the start, but they very soon vanished for me to a point where I didn't see the point of them at all, so that disappointed me. I guess the tiger in 2D would be pretty lifeless?

I enjoyed the film enough but not to rave about.

7/10 from me.

I too saw this at Panton Street; thought the movie was fab (I prefer the book personally)
Completely agree with you asamaic...what an awful cinema...my neck is still hurting from straining to see the screen.

Happy holidays to y'all and many thanks for all my 54 tickets I have had this year, it was awesome! :xmas:

It's been so long I can't remember why the Crocadero is rubbish, please enlighten me.
