I saw this movie while in NYC, which was an experience in itself. after reading the book and loving every single moment of it, this movie was a let down. it was so slow-moving, to me...it built up and built up, but never really got there.

it was pretty cool to see all the protestors in front of the theater. I wanted to moon them and have something written on my ass, but decided not to.

I agree, the pacing was plodding. But, I thought it was overall a good movie - not great - but good.

it was. it was visually pleasing. I also liked Tom Hanks in the movie...I thought he was perfect, even if he didn't ooze sex appeal the way the character in the book did, imo. and his hair wasn't nearly as bad in the movie as it is in public appearances. and the actress who played Sophie was spectacular. of course Teabing was my fav.

Teabing stole every scene he was in - and that is hard to do with Hanks in the room.

Also, did you notice the water faucet at the Ritz when he was shaving at the end - it was a dolphin - which is fab. IMO.

LOL - usually!!!!!!

That Ritz needs its teeth brushed though. The coolest thing there is the pool because it has music piped in underwater - so you can listen while submerged

Actually, IMO the George V, a Four Seasons property, is the best hotel in Paris - though the location of the Ritz is fab. for shopping!!!!!!!

Interestingly, Paris has so many wonderful hotels that are not as pricey. SIGHES - I was there last time a year ago on my may to Hong Kong. I had a day only., but what a day I made of it!!!!!!

I saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it. As strand said, a good movie, not a great one. I read the book a while back and was totally enthralled with it, so I have to say I enjoyed the book more. Still it was not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I'm sorry, but am I only one who consistently reads this character's name as "Teabag"? And am I the only one who does not need to have the words "teabag" and "Ian McKellan" associated in his mind?

no, you're not.

but since you brought it up...it is the worst name/actor association I can think of.

The church groups were out picketing this movie the other day at the neighborhood theater. I wanted to see a fistfight erupt, but alas such was not to be.
