Watched the eagerly anticipated movie earlier this morning, and it was.... great! I saw the 3D version, and I was hesitant about that, but the 3D did not interfere much with the enjoyment of the story. It was well done.
The new characters were interesting, had lots of charisma, and makes me look forward to future episodes. Unlike the prequel characters. Though I did not like Gwendolyn Christies role, I was hoping for more from her, being a GoT fan.
I will definitely see it again, especially since my younger daughter (who did not want to see it), called me during the final climactic battle at 2am, and I had to walk out and missed 5 minutes of it! But I'm a Dad, and my older daughter filled me in afterwards, but still wish I coulda seen it! So have to see it again on the big screen. Next time I'll do 2D, so I can focus more on the story and characters instead of the images. Even tho the 3D was not overdone, I still found myself trying to focus at times and checking out the 3d effect in scenes, rather than focusing on the story and dialogue. That's my ADD problem... So next time.... 2D for sure! : -) My reasoning for 3D was that I'll be seeing it in 2D for years to come, so may as well watch it on the big screen in 3D while I can.
Either way, it's a great movie! I give it a sure 3.5 out of 4, and maybe a 4, but I gotta let it sink in a bit (and also need to see the 5 minutes I missed towards the end).
Funny thing that happened, is that while I'm driving home with my daughter and her 2 friends, I kept mentioning how dark everything is tonight... Then I realized I still had my 3D glasses on over my glasses!! That was funny...
