First of all, my apologies if an alert went out twice about my review. I was logged in as Administrator, and forgot to login as Wick before first creating my review. Anyway, it was quite the mob scene at the premiere of TWBB last night. Lines out the door, hard to find parking, all the hallmarks of a blockbuster. And while I rated the movie Great, it surely isn’t your run-of-the-mill blockbuster. As I said to the woman ahead of me in line, “It ain’t no Armageddon.” Thus I wasn’t surprised that much of the talk as people were leaving the theater was quiet appreciation and bemusement rather than “Wow, what a great movie.” |
