    Toy Story 3(d)

    Who else has seen this then? I went at the weekend & really enjoyed it, probably the first light hearted film I've been to see in a long time so it was refreshing, and as with Avatar, the 3D worked very well with this one
    Without wanting to give too much away, a lot of the story is based around growing up & leaving childhood behind, which kinda touched me really, and made me feel both sad & nostalgic about my early/mid teens when I started growing up, outgrew my toys & they ended up packed away in boxes, and are still there to this day!
    Its full of laughs, has some great moments & is well worth a watch. There was just as many adults as kids in the cinema too

    Toy Story 3

    Thought it was good, but not as good as 1 & 2. Thought those felt tighter and more original...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Better than the first, not as good as the second, a little overlong and bloated but the accepting group hand holding during the stuff at the place with the thing and the guys and the big thing....well, i didn't cry btu my eyes watered a little.
    -bear in mind i was 7 when the first came out. this was very much a childhood revisitation for me.

    That normally happens by the third installment in a trilogy.

    Sometimes the question must be asked. Did they really need to make this film?

    Probably not.

    Did they really need to make 300 million dollars?

    Can i get a hell yeah!

    And that's really the motivation behind it. Critical acclaim is just icing.
