it was a bad weekend. World Series game Friday night, NFL sunday, Halloween festivities and snowstorm on the east coast. WOM should help pick up business.

I loved it. it was very entertaing and some really good spoofs.

Puss In Boots made up for that crap that was Shrek 4.

I thought Shrek 4 was criminally underrated and I don't get why their was so much backlash to the last two Shrek movies. I enjoyed this movie with my fiance, surprised at how little this movie made this weekend, but than again I am not, the folks at Dreamworks have really dropped the ball lately, they did a horrible job marketing Kung Fu Panda 2, they opened it against the Hangover and had a disappointing box offfice take for a wonderful movie, they idiotically think it is best to release this movie on Blu Ray/DVD on 12/13 which I am sure will back fire on them. Dreamworks has done a terrible job promoting Puss in Boots and I am a big fan of most of their films, but this goes to show why Dreamworks will never be anything close to Disney.....Disney always gets it right and has the right people marketing their films and distributing their films on DVD/Blu Ray they don't have idiots working for them

Not true at all. Disney has just as many problems with their marketing. They managed to mangle the the marketing on Prince of Persia, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Winnie the Pooh, and so far, John Carter. Not to mention releasing Winnie the Pooh against the final Harry Potter film.

That was an absolutely terrible move. Yes, Dreamworks is worse at it, but Disney isn't by any means perfect. And that's coming from a very, very big Disney fan.

Hoping to catch this one this week. Was going to go today, but saw The Rum Diary instead. Been waiting for that one longer.

I saw PiB yesterday and I thought it was as good as any of the Shrek films. It had a good story. I liked the linking of all the childrens storybook characters, it did play more to the adult side and the pop references weren't as overt as Shrek. I was alittle puzzled by Puss being made up to be the big Hero since when we first meet him in Shrek, while not evil he doesn't come off as this great standup hero. Maybe hero isn't the right word, anyway, great film, definate buy on Blu for me.

I haven't seen this and I don't want to, but my nephew saw it and loved it. He kept telling me that I should call my new cat Puss.

Atreyu · 11-01-2011, 02:24 AM

Well it certainly appealed to me and I am 48 years old. Also everyone else in the theater seemed to enjoy it and laugh at all the jokes.

djgeneral · 11-01-2011, 02:38 AM

I love Puss In Boots, so I was going to see this movie regardless of reviews. I thought from the trailers that it would just be "meh", but I enjoyed it! The 3D was really well done and it looked great. Great film!

Kind of negative for not having seen it. Lol rolling your eyes about something your nephew told you? Poor kid.

How is it negative? I just said that I didn't want to see it. If I told you I didn't want to see A Serbian Film I doubt that you would have the same reaction.

And I just told my nephew that it was a good idea, I was paid to babysit so I have to be nice.

I was kidding, and only referring to your "

" at your nephew's comment. Lighten up.

Gotcha they are some idiots on here who have nothing better to do than to tell me to not to be so negative. Kinda hard to tell who's who sometimes.

Looks cute enough, if I don't catch it in theatres, it will be a blind buy at $15-, sad that it's probably the last film we will get that's related to the Shrek series.

Never say never. Maybe the gingerbread cookie will get his own movie, or the pigs.
