Yeah,I saw it yesterday. It was okay. Not as good as I thought it would be though. I loved the book when I was younger but it just didn't translate as well to the big screen for me. It wasn't bad by any stretch. I thought it was good,just not what I had hoped. The animation was excellent though. It's refreshing to see something different like stop-motion as opposed to the norm these days.

Got the book free in my box of Shreddies. I did read it as a kid, though.

My favorite Wes Anderson movie. Bill Murray has also had a surprisingly successful run.

I saw it midnight on Tuesday night. I liked it just fine; it was about the level of "good" I expected it to be, which just so happens to be far below the hype level so-called "critics" set the bar at.
My favorite characters were the rat and the opossum.
Just as a sidenote about the hype machine and such, the thing that gets me about this picture is that there are lots of movie-makers out there without the political pull and connections of these producers and director that are making quality films right at (and even better than) the level of this one. Yet, most of them will never go noticed or funded because Hollywood gets to tell us what's "good" and because of availability and access, we fall for it.
Still, a good film, all Hollywood complaints aside.

I saw it a few weeks ago and liked it. I love stop-animation so I loved the whole style of the film, the only negative was the voices at times did grate on me.
Clooney, Streep, Murray and Dafoe were all particularly good, although the characters Ash, Kristofferson and Kylie just sounded so dull at parts. This particularly annoyed me with Kylie, the oppossum, because he really had the potential to be one of my favourite characters but his voice was often just so bland.
