    I haven't seen it yet but I do enjoy it. I loved the first movie even though so many hated it.

    I haven't seen the new movie but I saw the last one, and I thought it was good, even though it was a completely different story (which I didn't like)

    This one was SO much better than the first one. It definitely had more of the feel and storyline of the books.

    Not really a PJ fan but I'll watch anything with Logan Lerman in it, haha.

    It was alright. I'd say the first film was better to be honest. And the books are generally better than the films, although it has been ages since I've read them...

    The funniest thing about them is that my daughter read them first. She liked them so much, I picked them up. Now, she doesn't like them that much and I read one about every 6 weeks or so, lol.

    Eh...I just couldn't get into either one, there were just too many changes for me to enjoy it.

    Grover's my favorite character and I liked how they changed his race to add some much needed diversity to the cast, but changing his personality is unacceptable! I hated how they changed him from a shy, nervous, sweetheart into a suave, cool, lady's man. It's understandable that things will change in an adaptation, but you can't just change a character's personality to the point they're unrecognizable. It would be like making Hermione be a ditzy gossip in the Harry Potter movies:tantrum:

    I think the reason I enjoyed it is because I actually haven't read the books yet so I don't know how different it is lol

    Yeah. They turned him into basically every other stereotypical Hollywood black guy. Would have loved it if they kept his original nervous persona but still had Brandon T. Jackson playing him. Let's face it. I find Jackson to be a rather attractive man. ^_^

    Otherwise, thought the movie was okay. Only have read the first book but may pick up next since I happened to like the first.
