No – I was planning to go but after I had read the reviews, I decided no to bother. EDIT – I was put off by this report on BBC.

No – Went to a ballet instead (and that is not a joke) |
| 20thmaine | 27 Mar 2012 5:00 a.m. PST |
I'm a : "Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it." (I just wish I'd gone sooner, as I want to see it again on a big screen and it's starting to vanish already!) |

1 There were quirks but I really enjoyed it  |
| Volstagg Vanir | 27 Mar 2012 5:13 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was not that bad, and I got my moneys worth. It was ok. |
| elsyrsyn | 27 Mar 2012 5:15 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it. But also 1 There were quirks but I really enjoyed it as the two are not mutually exclusive. Doug |

Other: I might have done had it got to my local multiplex and/or Other: I generally only go to see films I suspect will be good. (I'll let you know which when appropriate) |
| photocrinch | 27 Mar 2012 5:21 a.m. PST |
Don't know that I would describe it as epic and hugely exciting, but I enjoyed it and didn't feel cheated by extravagant movie prices afterwards, so I guess that is telling. David |
| Oddball | 27 Mar 2012 5:25 a.m. PST |
Haven't seen it, but I heard it was a good movie even if not doing well. I think it will have problems now with "Hunger Games" being released. |
| PapaSync | 27 Mar 2012 5:25 a.m. PST |
I'm also a : "Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it." Since I never read the books so I was not prejudicial and let stand on it own merits. I will say that I enjoyed more than Star Wars 1-3. I hope they continue the series. If anything I want to read the books more than ever. Not to mention I think this would make some fun gaming. 8) |
| 20thmaine | 27 Mar 2012 5:28 a.m. PST |
Yup – I came out of the cinema thinking : (a) can I get to see this again ? (b) I'm going to reread all the books ! (c) I hope they're doing the flyers as merchendising/toys as the air-to-air battles were, and I don't use this word lightly, awesome. |
| Major Thom | 27 Mar 2012 5:36 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it I thought it was better than the Hunger Games. |
| jdeleonardis | 27 Mar 2012 5:39 a.m. PST |
Wow – relatively good reviews here. Thats surprising. Hunger Games is good though… |
| Wackmole9 | 27 Mar 2012 5:42 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting and I quite liked it |
| RavenscraftCybernetics | 27 Mar 2012 5:44 a.m. PST |
I went expecting to be disappointed. I was thoroughly disappointed because the movie ROCKED!
It was sooooo much better than any other ERB book set to film. |
| McWong73 | 27 Mar 2012 5:50 a.m. PST |
It wasn't fault free, but it doesn't deserve half the rep it has. Good fun it was. |
| Lentulus | 27 Mar 2012 5:52 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting and I quite liked it Actually, Yes – it was good fun. |
| elsyrsyn | 27 Mar 2012 5:52 a.m. PST |
I went expecting to be disappointed. I was thoroughly disappointed because the movie ROCKED! My experience as well. I really wanted it to be good, but expected it to be awful, and was ecstatic when it was excellent.
About the only disappointments I had were that there are no associated toys to convert to gaming pieces (because Disney did a  -poor job of promoting the film), and that there will probably not be the two sequels the producer intended because of the poor box office (which is mostly due to the -poor job Disney did promoting it).

| Plynkes | 27 Mar 2012 5:55 a.m. PST |
The options are stupid. The "no" options are all way too specific and even though there are six to pick from they don't remotely cover the possibilities. I didn't go to see it but there is no option for me to pick there that is truthful. The "yes" options are pretty dumb, too. You are forced to agree that it was epic and hugely exciting. Someone who saw it but didn't find it hugely exciting has no way to express this. You suck at making polls, unless your intention was to subtly rig the poll, in which case you are brilliant at making polls. Well done. |
| WarWizard | 27 Mar 2012 5:55 a.m. PST |
No – Previews looked lame. I was very disappointed in the previews and reviews becuase I really like the original character as in the ERB books. |
| Tommy20 | 27 Mar 2012 5:56 a.m. PST |
No, I just wasn't that interested. |
| HornetsNestMinis | 27 Mar 2012 6:00 a.m. PST |
Its really interesting to see how many positive comments people have about this film. I agree about the marketing. And removing the "of mars" from the title was a tragedy. Is it just that we have so many "epic" films now that it takes something like Avatar to impress the critics? Is it that The films director is a member of Pixar and the media seems to want to tear them down at the moment? (Cars 2 was much maligned as well and is not half as bad as most critics made it out to be.) I think that this film will find new life on Bluray and DVD. |
| David Manley | 27 Mar 2012 6:00 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it. And its got me reading the books again :) |

Is it on Netflix streaming yet? Otherwise I MIGHT, notice I said might pay $0.99 USD on iTunes |
| Warmaster Horus | 27 Mar 2012 6:09 a.m. PST |
Yes, I liked it. Loved the "dog". My 7 yo son would say "yes and epic" greeeat dad/son flic |
| Rdfraf | 27 Mar 2012 6:09 a.m. PST |
I wasn't going to see it due to the bad reviews it was getting but I got talked into it and I loved it. I have no idea what the critics were talking about. |
| keleustes | 27 Mar 2012 6:19 a.m. PST |
Yes I went, Hugely existing -- NO -- as bad as all the critiques say it was -- NO -- A little too long, the script needed focus and the tempo seemed to be off. |
| Rudysnelson | 27 Mar 2012 6:20 a.m. PST |
No, I have not been to a theatre movie in 5 years. I have read all of the books so i will watch it when it gets on DVD. |
| Los456 | 27 Mar 2012 6:23 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting and I quite liked it My two gripes: Not enough Thark action Dejah Thoris was too "covered up". Both my boys loved it. |
| Thomas O | 27 Mar 2012 6:26 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting and I quite liked it |
| John the OFM | 27 Mar 2012 6:31 a.m. PST |
I agree with Plynkes and Flintloque. My answere is:
No, I just wasn't that interested.
I refuse to listen to anyone trying to lay a guilt trip on me for not going. First off, I only ever managed to read 5 pages of one of the books. Maybe. So, I have no real investment in such a movie succeeding, unlike Lord of the Rings.
If snyone makes a "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" that looks reasonably faithful, I will be there.
I will not be shamed into going to a "scifi blockbuster" simply because it's a scifi blockbuster.

If snyone makes a "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" that looks reasonably faithful, I will be there. what, with computers fed by punch-cards? |
| elsyrsyn | 27 Mar 2012 6:40 a.m. PST |
If snyone makes a "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" that looks reasonably faithful, I will be there. Me too, but if they did make such a thing, I expect we'd be there for a LONG time. I don't see how you could do anything even remotely faithful to the source text in less than 6 hours. Doug |

| Old Slow Trot | 27 Mar 2012 7:02 a.m. PST |
Not yet. Will likely wait for the DVD or cable/sattelite showing. Don't usually have time to go out to a movie lately. Busy with other stuff;gaming,other hobby or family related. |
 Saber6  | 27 Mar 2012 7:04 a.m. PST |
Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it.
I'm going to try and catch it again before it leaves

 enfant perdus | 27 Mar 2012 7:09 a.m. PST |
Other – I went to see it on Sunday afternoon. When I arrived, I discovered the showing had been cancelled so they could squeeze in an extra showing of "Hunger Games". Seriously. |
| Patrick Sexton | 27 Mar 2012 7:17 a.m. PST |
"Yes – it was epic and hugely exciting really enjoyed it I thought it was better than the Hunger Games." I concur with both points. |
| ChicChocMtdRifles | 27 Mar 2012 7:19 a.m. PST |
No, cause it is a Disney movie. Disney flicks aren't any good any more. |
| Space Monkey | 27 Mar 2012 7:20 a.m. PST |
No – It didn't look like something I would enjoy. |
| 20thmaine | 27 Mar 2012 7:25 a.m. PST |
You suck at making polls, unless your intention was to subtly rig the poll, in which case you are brilliant at making polls. It's the second one  . You could choose "other" |
| 20thmaine | 27 Mar 2012 7:30 a.m. PST |
I refuse to listen to anyone trying to lay a guilt trip on me for not going Wouldn't even try to do that, man. I think a lot of people will miss a great film due to bad reviews (like many SF films ever get a really good review !!), but that is their choice. Chill, dude. |
