Don't expect too much. . .

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2004)

I just got back from the midnight showing and the movie was about what I expected. The movie is probably just below average. Unless you know the plot before hand you may get a little confused as to why certain things in the movie are as such.
STRENGTHS: * Special effects (animatronics, CGI, etc.)
SATISFACTORY: * The fight scenes
WEAKNESSES: * Script
Final verdict: 6/10. My overall feeling after was like watching X-Men: The Movie, and discovering that there were no epic Sentinel battles, but nevertheless was a mediocre action flick. Waiting for the DVD may not be a bad idea, but then you won't be able to share the pain in the mean time with your friends on how awesome this movie could've been. . . but wasn't.
