Well, a bunch of us watched the first third last night (some college kids and me). McKellen seemed to have a good time. The guy playing Six could have been anybody from central casting. Some good photography, although there were a few too many scenes of intercutting. They seemed to like pictures of Six taken upside downas well. As for the plot, the writers tried to paint too broad a picture with too broad a brush. This led to holes in the logic that kept bubbling up in our geeky little brains. Pointing, chortling and snarky comments ensued.
