I can't think of a worse way to use $150,000,000. Hyped up and with a decent IMDB score, one would perhaps expect some entertainment value, but instead it's just a jumble of special FX and "jokes" falling flat on their faces. The special FX, which is where all the money most likely went, aren't even compelling - the scenes it seeks to create aren't interesting.

It must be the most extreme example of a no attention span or mental effort required -movie so far (possibly... I try to avoid most of those), and no mental investment leaves no mental reward. Watching it was a blank, flat and meaningless "experience". Perhaps a postliterate society's idea of a fun movie?

It gets 1 star for having colours and sound, even though those were kind of annoying.

This movie had me on the edge of my seat. Like another reviewer observed, it's a test of your morality in a slightly disturbing way. Much better at appealing to your emotions than 90% of the Hollywood dross. Good writing, good execution and good performances all around and especially by the main protagonist.

I find the current low rating rather strange. If you like real movies with real characters, real emotions and a plot that will hold your attention, just watch it.
