Totally loved it even though it rehashed story from 1 and 2. The 3D wasn't really needed but the kids will enjoyed the 3D previews before the movie.
I saw the Totoro cameo.. thought it was cool but sort of random. I mean, most people (in particular kids) aren't even gonna notice or get it...
LOL. Not a surprise at all since John Lasseter worked on that. Damn, they are like running out of ideas.
Spoiler The star wars was the baby picking up Lotso and throwing him in the garbage ala Darth Vader picking Darth Sidious and throwing him down. The terminator may just be a coincidence because other people didn't agree that there was one. At the end when their all about to burn, to me it look just like the scene in terminator 2 at the end when everybody's faces were glowing, and the music had that sound. Idk maybe it just was a coincidence but it sure seemed like it. Spoiler Yeah but think of how much this going to be loved in Japan and throughout Asia. Paying homage to probably one of most loved cartoons in Asia was really done well. When I first saw him I was poking my younger sister all giddy. And a side note, did anybody notice the Spanish influences in this movie? Like the Mr. Tortilla Head and The Latin Buzz. Thought it was weird having him speak Spanish when some of the audience couldn't read, not that it couldn't be comprehended though. I thought it was good just a lil odd. Really loved this movie. Minus Star Wars, this is the best trilogy. Anybody say different?
Yeah 109 mil might have covered the movie lol...not sure how much an animated movie cost to make though.
also the LOTR reference Spoiler when the baby came over to look over the side of the sandbox where woody, potato head were heading was very reminiscent of the Ring Wraith looking over the root of the tree for frodo and sam
great movie, I wasn't too high on it at first, but all the critic review talk has been ridiculous good. as mentioned already, dont watch it in 3D, there was nothing 3D about it as in no interactive pop out scenes going to the audiences shots, nothing. Not worth the extra $3 and not a worth the 3D Imax (16.50 for an adult ticket!) Spoiler great great ending, nothing more you can ask for in a movie. I agree how some scenes were pretty dark, and I am probably one of the few that wished that Lotso did burn? He was an ass I love the symbolism of Ken and Barbie, was basically a CF Relationship thread, the whole scene with her b****ing about life and Ken really being a douche.
Lots of immense scenes as everyone has mentioned already. Does anyone have a picture of Chuckles the Clown? I can't find a single picture of him on google, I think he was the best new toy they introduced in this movie.
The only part I remember that stood out in 3D was the beginning train chase scene. I was very pissed I paid to see it in Imax. What a waste. Great movie though.
Yes. To me, Empire is a perfect film. Every other part of the original trilogy is flawed IMO... Empire is in my top 20 favorite films, and is the only Star Wars film I watch religiously. Lord Of The Rings is 12 hours of perfection, that I could probably watch in one sitting on a good day...
Saw this movie on Sunday. Absolutely loved it. Wasn't sure what I would think as I loved the first two but couldn't really see what they would do with a third one. Thematically, they didn't really address anything that the first two didn't, but the story overall was so engrossing I never really cared. I can't believe how touched I was for the scene going down into the fire. That part (and I think the scene where they "turned" Buzz) really scared my 3 year old. He actually associates the entire film with Buzz going bad, even though that really only represented a few scenes in the whole movie. He calls the movie "Bad Buzz" now. I read some movie discussion of this series online on a different site where they discussed the fact that we never, in any of the 3 movies, see Andy's dad present in any form. Woody kind of acts as a father surrogate, which would explain why he is so attached and would want to take him even to college where having an old cowboy doll might actually cockblock him. Loved this movie.
Watched this last night. I loved it and felt like I was in middle school again! 98% on rottentomatoes
