I have seen many posts on here about the movie coming up, but I haven't seen anyone actually compliment the movie from experience (well, i haven't seen, maybe there is around here).

But honestly, its a great movie. Its great to have a laugh, and enjoy. It has a bit of all in it, action, adrenaline, love and of course racing.

NO I DON'T WANNA GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY FROM THE STORY FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T SEEN IT, BUT ITS A GREAT FLICK!!!

Oh, and for those that see the NASCAR racing in the ads and get turned off by the NASCAR track (cause NASCAR in my opinion is a boring race circle compared to the V8 super cars), DON'T WORRY. Its only one NASCAR race that occurs, the the rest of the movie is good funny humour and luv.

THE LUV BUG STRIKES AGAIN!!!

And let alone that cute driver, dam sees a noice actress. lol

Its all great, except the mechanics that they flick through in the movie can be a lil' confusing, but its not like the movie is suppose to present the mechanics of the bug realistically (cause thats not the focus of the film)

Great for all kids and adults (in fact any age group!!!) I luved it, my lil' 11 y/o bro luved it, and some kid (I think he was a 5 y/o) i don't know who he was, but he decided to talk to me for some reason while I was taking an after movie leak in the men's room. He said he luved it.

Its all good, for guys and girls. EVERYONE HERE IN AVD IS RECOMENDED TO SEE IT!!!

So, for those who have seen the new HERBIE, add ur comments in and ur opinions. I reckon it was a great movie, and its good to finally see a happy fun flick (Cause its been a while since i have seen one i actually enjoyed).

So thats my opinion, i give it a 9/10. The one point away from 10/10 goes to the NASCAR scene, cause I am not a big fan of NASCAR racing that much, I don't see it to be as interesting, would have been better if it was a different form of racing. But they must have just used NASCAR cause i know its big in america, and that was probably Disney's main marketing focus (the American crowds).

But yeah, GO SEE IT!!!

(Oh, and i saw it at the Hyperdome cinemas, cinema 1 at a 11.40am session on Cheap Tuesday, if anyone wanted to know)

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Oh, and i wouldn't mind if its me who gets to find herbie next in a junk yard lol. I wouldn't mind owning a possessed 63 bug he he.
And ive had some really crazy ideas to to replicate herbie, as a show car. But anyway, the movie was great.

I agree - LOVED the movie...................but then I love all the Herbie movies. You just have to turn off and watch and ignore all the faults.

My cinemas was packed, had to sit in the front, but it was good. Kids were noisy, but there were some nice looking young girls to my right. They were sitting far back before and came up towards me and my lil' brother.

But its not as popular compared to the other movies like Madagaska (howeva u spell it) which is sad, but I luved it and my lil' bro did, and by the sounds of it, everyone here luved it. But madagaska got more advertising compared to Herbie, and thats probably why Herbie hasn't seemed to have gotten the same amount of attention.

U don't know, the movie has only started showing, numbers may grow. But it was a champ movie.
