I was really looking forward to this movie. No I had not seen or heard of the original. I liked the previews and enjoy 3D movies. This movie had many things going for it, cool costumes, set designs, great special effects, what I thought would be a compelling story. Frankly I was bored and I've been trying to figure out why... After seeing Avatar earlier this year I guess I was expecting another movie of that quality. 3D was not necessary for this film in the way it was used. I expect things to fly out and be much more, well 3 dimensional, my companions and I thought we had defective glasses. So my recommendation is what I wrote in my summary... wait for the dollar theater version... It is probably better there than on your TV set at home.

I was excited to see a movie rendition of this charming mystery series. And having Angela Lansbury as the delightful Mrs P. really upped my anticipation. Then I watched it. Mrs Lansbury was a good choice for the main character, and that was about it. The entire show made me wonder if the screen writer had read only bits and pieces of several stories, because that was how the movie played.

This book series deserves attention on the individual books. The situations Mrs Pollifax gets herslf into, and out of, are plenty interesting, full of danger, ingenuity, and intrique, and lend themselves to great "TV movie" telling. I am sorry this show is out there, because people may not read the books after this awful movie. Let's hope Anglea Lansbury can be persuaded to do her again, maybe even produce the shows herself.

I saw this movie a few days ago, and can still hear the powerful, beautiful, and haunting music. The music is a character in the movie, not just under scoring the action, but being a part of it. I enjoyed the movie too, by the way, and want to find out more about this sub and it's men.
