How did you get to see it early?
Oh man, let me introduce you to the world of free movies. I don't know how things work where you live good sir, but here, I can go and get tickets to the press screening for free. The tickets are generic tickets and essentially anyone can get them, but once the seats fill up, the doors close, so you have to get there early. I have seen a good 4 or 5 films this way and it really doesn't take any effort.
Thanks for the tip. I live out in the boonies. Is this something that only happens in metro areas? Do I have to sign up online, or just show up at the movie theatre?

I totally get that (lots of shows get that), but that's not why I don't like Seinfeld. There's just something about the humor that rubs me the wrong way. I don't like Curb Your Enthusiasm, either. Something about the tone of the humor just isn't aimed at me at all. I recognize the quality, the pioneering nature of the show and all that. I just can't like it. Watching it sometimes makes me squirm in my own skin and I just want to be someplace else.

Is it the selfishness of the characters? A lot of times people get really uncomfortable or frustrated with characters that are as selfish as the seinfeld characters. Also the more dry and awkward scenarios can really make people uncomfortable as well. I enjoy Seinfeld, but I do agree that it is not for everyone.

They captured the essence of New Yorkers perfectly in that sense.
I like Curb, but not Seinfeld. I think it's due to the people I've watched the show with. All Kramer has to do is enter a scene and some people lose it. "What's so funny?", and the answer is "It's Kramer!". Yeah, and?
The Age of Adaline. Massive spoilers for the ending.
Why, oh why, did you have to completely undermine your themes right at the end just to get the happy ending? She'd come to terms with letting herself fall in love with someone she knew she would outlive. Then surprise, she'll actually grow old with him. It does not help that I'm in the middle of finishing up Time Enough For Love, which does the same story much better in The Tale of the Adopted Daughter.

It's a big step down from some of the amazing animated Batman films we've seen when Bruce Timm was still involved with these DC movies, but it's not bad at all though. Just don't go in expecting Mask of the Phantasm levels of awesomeness, or my other two favorite Batman animated movies (Under the Red Hood and Return of the Joker uncut). I think comic fans will be annoyed that they've stripped away so much of the Court of Owls storyline and taken so many liberties with it. It's easy to hate this movie if you come in with certain expectations.
On its own merits though, the story is decent, the voice cast is fine (though there are some people who seem to hate the casting for these Damian centric movies) and the animation quality is great. And the action sequences...they really deliver big time. There's even some decent characterization in this movie too. Plus, it's got Nightwing.
A solid 7 from me.
