i went into this movie blind. i had seen the trailer once and had not heard any critiques on it. i think Space Chimps won't set any benchmarks as a great animation flick - it was only so-so. to greamamerican, you've completely confused me by saying the first 30 minutes was boring, but in the same post you say you left after 10 minutes. numbers don't add up there bud. but that aside, you have to give the movie a chance. no, it won't grow on you - and more than likely you'll leave as i did thinking 'something was missing'. yes, the main character Ham can be extremely annoying and Titan seems like a recycled Buzz Lightyear but... what am i saying there is no but - this movie was not good. save it for a rental on family movie night - but don't spend your hard earned cash at the theater to see it.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
(2002)
Critics Unfair.... shocker!
29 December 2002
Warning: Spoilers
Over and over again, I keep hearing about how bad this film was, that there was no explanation to the characters and that the only thing that saved it was the violence. Had any one actually given this little film a chance and not went in with blinders on, all was explained. As someone else stated this was not a film for oscar consideration here folks. Its a movie. Something to occupy 90 minutes and to get the viewer to suspend reality and enjoy the outcome. I think Lucy Liu performed excellently as an assasin-turned mother-turned vengeful assasin. Banderas, accent aside, performed okay as the grieving husband recharged with the idea his beloved wife may still be alive. And as many has commented that the title is misleading... well its not. <spoiler> While its true Ecks and Sever do team up, the premise in the earlier portions of the film is to pit one against the other. Overall, I thought it to be a fantastic movie and I will purchase the DVD to show my support.
