Author Topic: Jimmy Neutron Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 12-21-2001 08:31 PM                        Cute and moves along well (which is great for short-attention span kids). Lots of laughs for kiddies, and a few aimed at adults (but VERY innocent, nice to see). Amusing little cheap shot towards Blair Witch. Kids save the parents, and of course, the door left open for sequel. Not sure if this was "carpet-bomb" promoted here in Canada, only about 25 people in the crowd, but it seemed like a pretty dead night in the whole place (sign said 9pm "Rings" was sold out though). I think there's just too much last-minute stuff to do, last Friday before Christmas...  |  IP: Logged Aaron Haney Master Film Handler Posts: 265 From: Cupertino, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 12-21-2001 10:30 PM                     The trailers for this movie look like they were rendered at 640x480 resolution. How does the final film look? Lots of jagged edges or no?  |  IP: Logged Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 12-22-2001 08:19 AM                        I actually looked for that. I didn't see any, though the entire film seemed a little grainy, I wondered if they did that to kind of "slur" the whole thing into looking good? But it does look pretty good.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-22-2001 11:41 AM                     I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I was supposed to screen The Majestic, but got shanghaied into this one instead. Steve Oedekerk worked on this one and it shows. I laughed out loud several times. And not just because I was alone in the theater. It's not doing any business, though, so I imagine that it will be gone with the holidays.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-28-2001 10:16 PM                        I waited until tonight to see this movie, and I saw it at Regal Madison Square 12 in Huntsville at the 7:05 show. The movie was cute and enjoyable. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the end of the movie. There was a section missing near the end of the movie (a sudden mid-scene to mid-other-scene jump), then about a minute later, the projector shut off and the auditorium lights came on. This same thing happened to the 5:05 show in the same auditorium. Several people requested passes for the 5:05 and nearly everyone in the 7:05, including me, requested passes. This movie drew a good number of people, considering it was the movie's second week. The theatre gave quite a few passes. I'd like to know the exact running time of this movie from the studio logo to the end of the credits so I will know how much I missed.

Even Monsters Inc had a serious side to it. But this film is just pure fun. From start to finish every frame is lighthearted and you can see that what the creators are trying to do is not create some computer-generated masterpiece but rather produce a fun family flick that entertains. I enjoyed it tremendously. Verdict: 8 stars out of 10 cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-21-2002 07:32 PM                     After Limmy finds his parents in the spaceship, cut to breakfast table @ Jimmys house where boiled eggs are served. Mun then has a drink of the Burping Soda, cue numerous burps. Same for Dad.
