Great watch but it takes awhile to get into it

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2018)

I was so excited to see this film that my expectations may have caused me to go into it with too much anticipation.
Simply put, it's visually spectacular, but I had trouble connecting with the main characters. The dynamics were well intended, but it felt a little forced. The fight scenes great, the music/soundtrack AMAZING!!
It took me about a good hour to get into the plot. Once the stakes are risen (near the end of the film/last act) then I was all in. But it took a vested interest. The music, action sequences, and stunning visuals forgive the parts where the plot falls short. But I can't help but think it may have been intentional direction to sort of restructure the typical Hollywood formula. I'm all for doing things different, but in this case, the plot fell a little flat, until the end (where it revs up 110%).
Overall it's a solid film and worth the watch. Just don't give up on it, because it really does get good, and there is a big payoff in the end.
