When I watched it, we had a house full of kids (8 I believe). I was forced to watch it from about 30 feet back (do have a Samsung 46" HD TV), but my eyes are getting so bad that it's hard to see from that distance. I could see the pic fine, but there were a few times when you had to read the screen (daughter was deaf and wasn't there some foreign languages spoken from time to time?). I was also sitting in a computer chair which isn't the most comfy for watching a movie. Add that the movie was right over 2 hours long and I was just happy for it to end.
All of the above may have ruined the movie for me. I'm sorry I didn't wait and watch it at a later time. I might have loved it.
