"Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" on Blu-ray March 4 - Blu-ray Forum

wnicholas76 · 02-17-2008, 10:09 PM

Is anyone getting "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" on Blu-ray from Fox on March 4? And if so, could you tell me if the movie and the performances from Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman were any good? Thanks!

The movie was not as good as I had hoped. Natalie Portman is always great in whatever she does but Dustin Hoffman's character comes across as forced. I will probably be picking this up because of my love for Natalie Portman and because I feel this might be one of those movie that requires repeated viewings in order to like it.

Same. Didn't see it in theaters, but my kids'll watch anything. It's probably worth at least one watch.

I read maybe five reviews when it came out, and it was universally panned as a total wreck of a movie.

Rent it first.

You may want to watch this the first time without the kiddies around. It's not dark but it has to do with death. Just saying.

ps: Great Movie!

I really liked this movie, the colors and effects are wonderful, but not sure I would buy it. Natalie Portman looks like a guy in the movie, and her character appears later in the movie.

Natalie Portman never looks like a guy and her character appears in the beginning of the film and throughout the film as her character is really the central premise of the film.
