I often think thats worse in films when its behind closed doors, you hear it then see the aftermath. You get an understanding of why the magic happens at the circus but this is one aspect that makes the film very realistic in another sense.

If you are taking 12 year olds and under they may get really upset at this scene.

This film isnt what i expected, alot of reviews complained about Robert Pattinson having too much screen time but i thought he played a very good character and played it well. I would recommend this film if you have not already seen it.

My daughter and boyfriend were supposed to be seeing "Water for Elephants" at York Vue this morning, looking forward to seeing this all week but for some unknown reason they only put it on at a small 124 seater screen so they could not get in :(

That is such a shame, they should email and complain to the cinema and hopefully get free tickets to make up for it
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Just seen this at a packed Wimbledon cinema. We had subtitles which was unusual.

Wasn't expecting much of this film but was pleasantly surprised. It had no twists or surprises so you could guess what was going to happen. Nice to have eye candy and will definitely appeal to rob pattinson fans! I loved Rosie, might have to go to the zoo! 7/10 from me

I watched this morning at Watford which was packed but we were in one of the smaller screens. It was a predictable love story, but too long, if they had condensed it down a bit it might have been a bit more dramatic.

Calling him out at the beginning of his exam didn't really make sense, but then I guess if they hadn't done that there would have been no story.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
