I won tickets to go see the premiere of the movie, and I actually enjoyed it (so did my girlfriend). To sum it up, sure the plot is simple and predictable, but what popular movies aren't (I'm talking to you avatar)
I went in not expecting much...just a fun movie, and that's exactly what it was. It was basically pirates of the caribbean + aladdin... w/ lamer acting but that's johnny depp's fault.
on a side-note, alfred molina was quite fun
