Hank Azaria sounded like Stewie Griffin throughout this movie and it became quite annoying! 2/5 stars......  |  IP: Logged Sally Ann Burgess Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Queenstown, New Zealand Registered: Apr 2008 posted 05-24-2009 06:51 AM                     THAT'S who Hank Azaria sounded like! Thanks. Been trying to place the voice for a couple of days now. The movie was pretty lame but Azaria did make me laugh a couple of times. Would have liked to have seen more of Ricky Gervais though. 2.5/5  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-24-2009 02:45 PM                     Azaria sounds exactly like Boris Karlof from THE MUMMY. It is a near perfect impression. Lots going on here. Pay special attention to the artwork in the art museum. I especially liked the Jackson Pollack. This is a fun movie...nothing that will be long remembered, but still a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Lots of funny details for the adults to catch and some good chases for the kids. Give this one a solid B+.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 05-24-2009 05:13 PM                     My six year old son and I really enjoyed the film. For a movie shot on the 4k red camera, the film had a lot of grain.  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 05-24-2009 07:53 PM                     Hmmm didn't see any real grain when I saw the trailer at Hoyts (digital) IMAX. Looked fairly good but not as good as Star Trek.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-25-2009 02:56 AM                     That's amazing...being that it was IMAX and all.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 05-25-2009 03:34 AM                     Well John if you see the movie, the opening shots look like they are trying to recreate the old 1960's italian spagetti western 2 perf superscope look.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-25-2009 11:20 AM                        quote: Mark Lensenmayer Azaria sounds exactly like Boris Karlof from THE MUMMY. It is a near perfect impression. I am glad to hear that there was a reason that he sounded this way and in a way I am sorry that I am not that old to know that. I have actually seen this movie twice now. Being that I have 3 kids of my own and that I am now stepfather to 3 more - I had to see this twice. The kids love this movie and it kept their attention. So I'd like to add one more star to my original review.  |  IP: Logged
