I'm seeing it Wednesday at the Chinese, too!

oh ... midnight Wednesday

We're seeing it Saturday (Friday your time

) at the IMAX in Darling Harbour for a friends birthday.

We'll be seeing it, we just haven't figured out when. I'd love to do a midnight showing, but between his work the next day and my getting up at ugly-thirty on Friday, staying up till the wee hours doesn't make sense for us. Pity, I love midnight showings.

I have to wait until after Sunday. The Boy won't be home until then...

I'm excited about tonight. But I slept like crap and i'm really not looking forward to pulling an all-nighter for Harry Potter.

It better be good.

(oh yeah, i hated this book)

That's why I gave up midnight screenings circa Pirates of the Caribbean. I'd rather be fresh for the viewing, fresh for the next morning. I love the energy of opening day, and my 7pm audience will still be super-excited (and not nodding off!)

1-word review: Meh.

Good where the book is not, not so good where the book is great.

Since the book tends to get great in the end, the movie unfortunately tracks in the opposite direction.

A decent enough episode with some good performances and business for the main characters ... but alas not destined to be one of my favorite Potter films.

I don't think.

More viewings are necessary. I don't mean to imply the film is without its charms. I really enjoyed the first two hours. But the third act was a real let down. And it's likely the most thrilling section in the entire book series.

I hope Disneyphile took my advice. No one should see this movie before reading the book.

I am dying for sleep here.....

Ended up at a midnight showing- a private midnight showing. Meaning the only people in the theatre were the group we were there with- it was awesome.

Started at 1am....so to say I am suffering for this excess is putting it mildly.

I loved it-

Nuff said right now-yeah

Excited for tonight!!
