Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2017)

My wife and I both came away from this film very disappointed. The great critical acclaim did indeed elevate our expectations but the movie just had no depth to it. There were no plot twists, no character development, and there was an incessant dramatic music score throughout the entire movie. It's like hearing the Jaws music for two hours. It simply lost all effect.
Kenneth Branagh is the postcard for the overacting, pompous British thespian and he stands on a dock for the entirety of the movie in a Captain Crunch uniform filling the role to a "T". A good amount of other cheese was layered throughout the movie.
The movie was bereft of heroism save for Tom Hardy's character and a few other spots.
It's not a bad movie, but it's certainly not a great movie. Certainly not one you would go back and watch again.
