This film is an instant classic. Period.

Ja, personally there were things I was disappointed with and things that totally were unexpected. Yet you KNOW when the DVD comes out you will have to beat people with a fucking stick to get it. You KNOW the director has to go the DVD gamut. First the 'extended director's cut' and then the 'extended, extended, director's special edition' version ad nauseum. There's only one major action scene that changed from the original and I can understand why to keep it pg-13 but I'm really, really, really hoping it's included in the DVD.
This movie had the audience really involved which is one of two reasons to see it on the big screen. We hooted and screamed and howled and cheered and nobody got angry, nobody said "shhhhh" this was popcorn monster movie fun from beginning to end. Even Naomi Watts started lookin' like a babe after a while. It's funny cause Jack Black frequents my neighborhood and I see him at the 7-11 or the restaurants or hangin' with the boys and then see him on the big screen with a monster. Several people in the film I see at the local hangs so it's weird to see somebody who asked you for a cigarette or a buck for a soda or something running from monsters.
If you had any second thoughts of waiting to see this movie on DVD you are shorting yourself. Go see it when the theatre is packed full so you can enjoy it with everybody. I'm going again when the whole neighborhood shows up and we are gonna have a fucking ball!
