Viewing Notes

Just… boring. So much time spent on exposition that would have been better spent on character development through actual action. I came close to falling asleep twice, which is very unlike me. I can stay awake through just about any movie.

Given that Campbell directed, among other things, Casino Royale, which I loved, I think the blame here can be laid at the feet of the ratking of writers credited with the script.

I will say that I’m interested in the mythos, however, and I do think a sequel could be much more interesting than this initial effort.

As for my kids, one said it was “awesome” and the other said he liked it “but it was kind of slow and didn’t have much action.” They’re 12-1/2 and almost 11, so neither of those two reactions surprises me and I’m glad they were entertained by it. Maybe it doesn’t really matter what adults like me think.
