Soloist.
It was good.
I've ben wanting to see this ever since I saw the preview during The Dark Knight. Is it worth the money to go see, or should I wait til the DVD release.
Well for starters, it is no Dark Knight, and as such, does not NEED to be seen on a huge screen with mega surround sound.
The film focuses on the characters and does not put a large emphasis on the music or on a plot. So don't go into it thinking you are going to hear a lot of classical pieces.
My wife and I did not make a special point to go see this movie, we basically picked it because it looked decent from previews and it started 5 min after we walked up to the ticket booth. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
If you only want to spend money to see Great movies in theaters, I would say skip this one, it is not Great. If you are OK spending money to see good movies in theaters, I would give this one a try, it is good and was worth the money,
for me.
