I really liked it. However, you can absolutely tell that it was directed by a different director. Also, one of the main reasons I liked the first three movies was that they all had awesome special effects. This movie? I did not see alot of that. I am also not a huge Penelope Cruz fan. I think they could have picked someone different to be Jack's "interest".

In the end.. I will buy it when it comes out on dvd.. to add to My collection. Also, the way this movie ended ... I am guessing there will be a fifth installment as well. I will be looking forward to seeing what they put together next.

I don't really keep up with who does what very often. So I didn't know the director had changed. Now it makes much more sense. I too was disappointed in the special effects. Or in this movie the more hoakey effects. But yeah, overall like it.

Tonight me and The Boy went to the drive-in. We saw Panda 2 and Thor. We like the first Kungfu Panda enough that we were like "eh why not". It was cute and there were several lines that I bust out laughin' hard at.

Thor was okay. I was expecting more I guess. I understand you can't develop a ton of story line in 2 hours, but I felt it was lacking somewhere. I didn't feel the Thor character developed very fully, or something. It was eh, okay. I did however love, LOVE, LOVE Anthony Hopkins as always. Damn, I don't care how old he gets there's something powerful about his roles that always work for me. grrrrr
