Seriously, what was/is the fuzz all about? I wanted to see this movie in a 3D IMAX theater, so I had to wait for 2 months as the theater was constantly sold out. By this time all my friends had already seen it.

The IMAX version started with an IMAX 3D introduction clip that really blew me away. I thought 'this will be great.' But then the movie started and within 30 minutes I lost interest. The story was just too stereotypical and the only thing that was left was CGI. Oh, look, beautiful renderings of unknown worlds. Boring. And, to be honest, I found the 3D to be very distracting and not adding anything at all.

After an hour and an half I walked out of the theater. I wish I hadn't gone for the '3D IMAX' experience, because I think I could have enjoyed the movie more in a normal '2D' theater. 5/10

What a piece of junk this movie is.

First, it takes about an hour to even start with the storyline. You could easily skip 1 hour and not miss a thing.

Secondly, the acting is terrible! Are these experienced actors? They sound like students in a high school play.

Thirdly, the dialogs are inane. There are plenty of kids' movies with wittier dialog.

Lastly, the humor is bad as well. There are two kinds of jokes in this movie: slapstick (when getting out of a car, the door hits a guy and he falls in a canal) and misinterpretation (somebody asks a question, but it is answered in a different context).

Bad, bad, bad. Not all Dutch movies are this bad, believe me!

I enjoy the story line (well, most of the series' story lines anyway), which is the reason I keep watching the show, but man, some scenes seem so clumsy and B-level, that I can't help doubting the skill of the writers. The "oh no, I dropped something" nearly kissing somebody-trick; the last evil look before closing the curtains. Just two particularly bad moments of the top of my head.

But I'm giving the writers the benefit of the doubt. I like where it's going and I hope they manage to pull it off.

By the way, I can't help being reminded of the movie Mystery Men. Same idea, different genre.

I don't know, but the movie was just too similar to other movies I've seen. The Ring, The Eye, Dark Water, they're all the same to me. Don't get me wrong, it's beautifully made, lovely camera work, great graphics, but that story is just too.. too common. In the end, it's the score that makes the suspense, you know: the screams, rumbles. The characters in the movie are also not reacting very naturally, moving very slowly, surprised by anything they see. I know some people that love this kind of film, and if you do, being a well made movie, I guess it doesn't hurt to watch it. But if you've seen the movie I've mentioned above and didn't like them, then I'd suggest you don't bother.

I, for one, really LOVE this movie! I think it's totally hilarious! But, then again, I know plenty people that can't stand watching it for one single minute. I think you should give it a try and see for yourself. Don't make a decision on the 3.7 vote (at the time of writing). It's not Leslie Nielsen kind of humor. It's way funnier. If you like comedies, you should really try it. I especially love the joke about Sean Connery's birthday. Go watch it :)

This movie is my favorite! Every person in it is messed up in one way or the other, which I believe is a perfect start for movie. I must have seen this one over 10 times and it's still funny, and gets even funnier! There are many hidden jokes, especially for those that don't speak french (like myself). I don't know if there's an english subtitled version, I sure hope so 'cause this masterpiece must be seen all over the world! And, by the way, DO NOT watch that rip off Mixed Nuts!
