I saw the butler a few weeks ago or last month. But anyway, it was amazing & very educational. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's PG-13, you'll see a scene where someone gets shot so don't bring anyone under 13.

Five Stars!

I saw the movie today and let me just say, IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!

I was on the edge of my seat, and everything was amazing. The cast, the effects, the make up, the costumes you name it. This movie takes place in Kansas 1905 in a carnival circus. Now I've seen a lot of movies and they are all must see films, but this one, this movie reached my movie chart. Now one day you'll say to yourself "I wanna go & see a movie" and this is the movie I'd recommend. 5 Stars, great acting, a great Wizard of Oz  film with a hint of Snow White. Rated PG, and for children of all ages is also recommended! 

P.S,

Any children under the age of 6, might be a little scary.

New designs were introduced from the comics such as artificial web-shooters. Using Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's RED Epic camera, principal photography started in December 2010 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City. The film entered post-production in April 2011. 3ality Technica provided 3D image processing, Sony Imageworks handled CGI and James Horner composed the film score.

Sony Entertainment built a promotional website, released three trailers and launched a viral marketing campaign, among other moves. Tie-ins included a video game by Beenox. The film premiered on June 30 in Tokyo and was released in the United States on July 3 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D. Critical reaction was mostly positive, with a 73% "certified fresh" score from review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The film was also a box office success, becoming the 47th-highest-grossing film of all time and the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2012. The first of at least two sequels, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, is scheduled for release in 2014, with director Marc Webb and most of the first film's main cast set to return.

Me & my dad saw this at the movie theater at the epicenter on the 4th of July. We saw it in 3D. You'll cry a couple times. It's a must see film. It's a little scary, but you'll really enjoy it!
