    Seen this last night in the IMAX and thought it was excellent.

    Haven't seen Man on a Wire and know nothing at all about Philippe Petit (will watch it now for sure though) so seen it blind as it were, but on the face of it I thought was an excellent story well told. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    I had seen Man on Wire and in comparison this came across as rather soulless and perfunctory. The core sequence is breath-taking (well worth the 3D IMAX actually). However, I found the narration device irritating and the attempted love story felt tacked on.

    This had an A List director in Robert Zemeckis and a pretty big actor as the lead. Why the limited release and hype?

    Beats me. I saw it at 6 o'clock in the biggest screen of my local multiplex and I was the only person there.

    Because apart from the final act it’s not very good and has a totally insufferable main character.

    Apart from the visually absolutely stunning centrepiece of the film this was an absolute turkey.

    The documentary is a much better piece of work. I found this very disappointing.
