Saw the Movie, Liked It

Spent the day with the college girl.  Loaded her up with a bunch of stuff from Costco, hit the mall for some other stuff, and took in Harry Potter 7a.  The difference between this movie and the first couple in the series is pretty dramatic.  As the books got darker and scarier so did the movies, and this one is a very different experience from those earlier days.

If you read the last book in the series you'll recognize what's going on in this movie all the way through because they really stuck to the book's story.  The 2 1/2 hours went pretty quickly, though there are some sections that slow down a bit with little in the way of action sequences.  It's certainly a more grown-up story and they set the stage well for 7b which will come next summer.

From what I hear the movie will have an opening weekend somewhere in the $125 million range.  Not surprised at all.
