$56.2M opening weekend.

General consensus I've heard is that it's not good but not nearly as bad as most people were expecting.

i saw it twice. h: one thing i was expecting were massive liberties to be taken.

the lines were hokey at times and not Oscar winning. but for an action movie it was awesome. the cg was done pretty well for most of it and at times you couldn't tell. the story was good, would recommend.

I hated it. Only character that was interesting was Snake Eyes and that's cause he didn't have to act.

I found it odd that the temple was in the middle of a japanese city yet the young stormshadow spoke korean as did his master :rofl:
