Yeah...I finally got to watch "Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium" with my friends yesterday. The movie that I had been waiting for since when I first heard about it (a month back) and when I saw the preview a few weeks back.
With much anticipation (if you don't already know...I'm a die hard fan of fantasy-based films), I went to the theatre with Bubbly, Teddy and Cherry. I thought we had the almost best seats in the theatre, (right smack at the centre of the theatre).
Unfortunately, what we didn't add into our equation were the people seating behind us.
Just as the movie started...we heard a loud snore from the back, which we promtly ignored...Then towards the middle of the movie we heard annoying, whining sound, from the back, again. I turned to the back and saw...the doom...4 to 5 kids. Kids who were restless and uninterested in the movie, accompanied by their mommy.
Then I heard a loud "burrpp!!" from my left (I was seated at the left corner of the centre aisle)...which was followed by a string of giggles. Hey, we came to watch a movie, didn't we?
It was (obviously) dark and thus I was robbed of the satisfaction of staring them down or glaring at them. So never mind...I continued watching the movie until it ended.
In the midst of all the whining, snore, burps and more whining...the parts of the movie which I could watch were pretty decent in overall. It was not disappointing but neither was it special.
My verdict: The movie lacked something...For a movie about magic...it lacked the magical element to fully grab the audiences' attention. It had a hanging ending...I kept thinking it could not have ended that way, there must be something more. But, oh well!
Time to move on...
My list of next must-watch movies are:
1)Enchanted
2)The Golden Compass
3)National Treasure 2
Well, that's all for now. So long, folks...
