I haven't seen this yet and probably won't until I buy the dvd, but I loved this line from the Vancouver Sun reviewer today:

I was thinking I'd like to see this, maybe on NetFlix.

I went yesterday with the hubby. It's a Hollywood action movie, granted, but I don't remember the last time I had so much fun at the theater.

Daniel Craig's face looks like Freddy Krueger, but the back view is mighty fine.

Ford still got it.

And I liked that it was an uplifting movie, rather than depressing like many action movies are. The villains were orcs... I mean, aliens, and the humans showed compassion, unity and loyalty, while still remaining flawed humans. And for a Hollywood movie, there was hardly any preaching.

P.S.: I had a gift card for the theater, and a good thing. $11/ticket?
