trust me when I tell you this. you have seen all this before, many, many times. a lot of star wars sword fighting, for one. it's all computer generated nonsense, and the star, benedict Cumberbatch is very uncomfortable mouthing his lines. he better run back to television and Sherlock holmes. the other stars, ejiofor, Swinton and mc adams are simply wasted. the story is about a brilliant surgeon who loses the use of his hands and in search of a cure, finds nirvana. but in finding this inner peace, evil,in the form of mads mickkelsen, lurks to destroy the world. I lost count of how many times mads and benedict meet and fight, but it was a lot. this is a movie, where virtually anything can happen at any minute. that's not movie making to me. and yes, I know, i'm in the minority here. but I am not alone.
