@Ariel: Yeah, we did. My mom, who hadn't seen the last two eps of the series, was a bit upset that John got married, haha.
@Shield: I've seen it about three times, but no, I didn't watch it yesterday.

However I did watch it today along with The Reichenbach Fall. SiP has some of the best writing in the series, I think.

We watched Beyond the Mask this evening. I liked it. The special effects were stunning, and the fights were very well-choreographed! And on top of all that we have a Christian message to boot... :P

Still have to watch it. Maybe tomorrow night...
Meanwhile, I'm continuing my re-watch of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and I'm currently on the Scott Lang!Ant-Man episode. :)

Swords hidden in canes are always cool. ;)

EDIT:
Just finished watching Beyond the Mask. I enjoyed it, though it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Not necessarily in bad ways; I just had different ideas as to how it was going to pan out. For one thing, I thought the romance was only going to be a side-story, not the protagonist's driving force. I also wasn't expecting him to remind me of what I know of the Assassin's Creed video games (particularly the scene in which he runs around on housetops). And I think I expected a little more National Treasure-esque vibes too, but anyway.
On a slightly unrelated note, I'm realizing as time goes on and as I watch more Christian films, it's difficult to neither lose the story in the message nor lose the message in the story. Bad as it sounds, I've seen a couple Christian films that have made me zone out once they talk for X amount of time about the (or a) message. On the flip side, it's also important to not shoehorn the message awkwardly into the story. It's all in the execution and I tip my hat to those who have managed to not err on either extreme (as for those that I think strike the balance almost, if not perfectly, in the center... well, I salute them for the masterful storytellers they are).

Mainly...IT WASN'T CHEESY. :) And that makes me happy because I feel like most Christian movies are cheesy. : P

I don't think I've seen any that were high in the cheese department, but I have seen ones that have message but are insanely weak on story.
