We did it. We went to see Star Wars this afternoon. I’ve read many people online bashing it, but we enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed by a couple things at the end, but this was mostly because I’ve read several of the books from the earlier movies, and some things in the movie didn’t match the books. They were differences I can live with though.
The kids absolutely loved it. I think it was, without a doubt, the non-stop action that kept their rapt attention for the duration of the film. That, and they are kids and this is a Star Wars movie, what wasn’t to love?
I wouldn’t be surprised if #3 and I go to see it again next week while we are down house/pet sitting for my Bro. I think that will definitely be a good bribery item for him to get through some of his less desirable homework items.
