I'm not sure he even really respected it, but I am glad he got it in the end.

More-or-less liked the movie a lot. Didn't see it in 3D, and I'm kinda glad I didn't.

The 3D added a lot to some of the scenes. I'm glad we saw it in 3D.

It was an interesting movie. It truly amazes me what they can do with CGI, the trees and water were amazing! It didn't help that some silly woman brought a 4year old and a 4 month old, it was rather annoying to say the least!

I saw it yesterday at the IMAX in Irvine. I just go for entertainment....and I was entertained. Hubby not so much.

I've never seen Pocahontas (though this hero progression through going native is hardly original to it) but does it really have them killing the Indians for gold?

I knew it wasn't a historically accurate movie but that seems way off.

The sex scene has been cause of some ridicule. Turns out a fuller version was filmed but edited out. It's still in the script out for awards, consideration though.

I'm glad what is in the script wasn't in the movie (since it seems even more awkward) but I do wish the edited version had been clearer that they weren't have genital-to-genital sex (which is what it looked like) but bonding through the hair things.

You can read the scene here.

Someone pointed out...that brings up awkward questions when you consider what they do with the animals.
