Quoted from rotordave:If you go to any mainstream movie and expect anything ultra deep then you will always come away disappointed.
I go to the movies almost every week. Its my mental Escape for the week. I see a lot of mainstream movies, and also a lot of "boutique" movies as well which are often boring wankfests for elitist movie snobs.
Movies are what they are. While this movie is hardly the best movie ever made (and far from it) it was full of action, had a half way decent script, and had awesome special effects. And an awful lot of lens flare to boot.
I fear that if you go to the movies expecting everything to be a classic, you are in for a life of disappointments. No different from pinball machines ... I tend to find the positive points in machines rather than dwelling on negatives and thus enjoy almost every machine. Except late model Gottliebs :lol
I didn't expect it to be ultra deep at all, it is a popcorn film. It's just not that good.
I am not a movie snob at all, quite the opposite. I worked in cinemas for over 20 years and enjoy all forms of movies and hardly expect anything to be a classic. Movies are like pins for me too, some are great and some are just ordinary.
I do agree on the effects, they were outstanding.
