This is one of those summer blockbuster type films that I skipped out on. Frankly, I was pretty sure it was going to suck and for the most part, I didn't hear anything good about it when it came out. So, I passed. Well, I had a .50 cent rental voucher through RedBox and couldn't find much I was in the mood for, so, I said the hell with it and snagged it.
While this isn't a great movie, again I don't see why all the hate. It's a dumb, big-effects driven action/fantasy. I was entertained, the FXs looked solid, there were plenty of very cool fight scenes and I was never bored. I've said again and again people seem to have lost their ability to enjoy stupid fun.
I'm glad I gave this one a chance. If you're in the mood for an action-packed, FXs driven film that you don't have to think too much with. This is the film to check out. Honestly, if I came across this one for a good price on DVD or Blu Ray I would most definitely add it to the collection.
My Rating: 6/10
