Could be better, but - never mind

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2016)

A good movie, though a bit overloaded with acid-colored special effects. The first half of the story (i.e., learning at the temple, which reminds of Nolan's Batman Begins) was too long and unnecessary. Then, beginning from Cassiluis' assault on the temple, the action started, and I really liked it. If not for all those mystics and magic - just ninja style fighting and Groundhog Day stuff - I'd say the movie's perfect. But it isn't, that's why I give it 7 stars out of 10 (for me, it's not a bad mark. It just means 'nice and decent, but not excellent'.
Cumberbatch acted very well, and there was a really hilarious part with him doing an operation on himself. It's not the Cumberbatch I've used to in other films, but still, he is just - super.
