Argh! - Extremely jealous man as I've been, like every other Aussie, looking forward to this film since its announcement; it looks awesome, the current tie-in kits are awesome and apparently its theme song reflects this too! :D
Hoping to see it as soon as possible! :cool:

If you did pirate it, you would have seen it 2 months ago like myself...;). Awesome movie, can't wait for the blu-ray version.

If I could stand camrips I would have. They'll get my money purely based on the fact that our cinema release will beat the Blu ray rip release.

^ Yeah, bugger cam jobs, and R5 / R6, TS etc. Only the best pirated movies for me :p

Saw Captain America last night, a lot better than what I had expected if you get the chance I would recommend seeing it.

I'll only ever watch a cam rip if it's a movie i cannot wait for, or delayed in our region. This movie is a definite Blu-ray buy for me when it hits the shelves.

As for other rips, i usually wait for a Blu-ray version or a dvd rip if the movie doesn't have any CG or big action scenes in it.

Agreed with the lego love. There were some things that I felt ruined the mood and the flow by trying to give a "reason" for the mix of elements, but at the same time they were well done and executed perfectly and gave some heart to the film.

The film could work without those bits but on reflection I think it was good that they added it in. I don't think I've laughed as much or as often in a non comedy movie, the casting was perfect, the animation brilliant and the zingers a plenty. The wife loved it so much she went and made a small set afterwards.

Might well be my movie of the year, cannot imagine anything but the muppets being anywhere near as enjoyable and fun.

Went to see Captain America tonight, freaking loved it. But I wont say to much just yet, as I know a lot of people are probably trying to keep spoiler free :D

So, Lego & The Captain?
Might see if i can squeeze in a screening on the weekend
