overrated but definitely worth a watch

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2010)

So i was very reluctant to watch this film as i thought it was overrated- i was right. However, i loved it but i can see why it lost out at the Oscars to The Hurt Locker. it's a lovely film, very well done technically but it's nothing really new. i would recommend anyone to give it a go but don't expect to be too amazed with it. the way the audience build relationships with the characters is amazing though. i do hope there is a sequel as i would like to see how the story develops but i do feel had i seen it in 3D i would have appreciated the graphics a bit more than i did. some parts of it i found needed more explanation but it wasn't too vital to the storyline thankfully. Great film to escape into as you can't turn it off once it has started.
