My ramblings about books (especially Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Urban Fantasy), computers, gadgets, TV-stuff and movies
This is a bit of a strange movie. Part of it feels like a pretty good, dark and gritty thriller, part of it feels like a wannabe Tarantino movie and part of it feels like a comedy. Overall I would classify it as a B-movie but a pretty good B-movie. As strange as the movie is I have to say that I liked it.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and was profoundly disappointed. Today I can more appreciate it for what it is. However, even today, I have to say that I find the movie excruciatingly boring.
I have to say that, overall, I had quite a blast watching this movie. It is indeed a good superhero and special effects extravaganza. In addition it is quite beautiful.
Sure the movie is a cinematically very well down movie. Acting, camera and all that is excellent. Unfortunately that is all there is. I have to say that I expected a lot more.
Overall I found this installment in the franchise to be one of the better ones though. Maybe even the best one yet.
Well, when the credits started to roll I cannot say that I felt it had been a waste of time and money. I did indeed have some enjoyment watching this movie. However, it could have been a lot better.
Well, if you are a fan of The Rock this is a decent enough high octane action, disaster and special effects movie. If not, well then you probably have to be a pretty big fan of special effects and action to overlook its weak points.
