Dull and tedious

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2013)

This is the worst movie I have seen in years. Its hard to know what the plot is, young people being groomed to be battle leaders, and the leadership seems to be attracted to one young boy who looks like he is about 13 years old. The actors show no human dimension to their characters, they may as well be automatons. Excessively long plot development focused on training. A disappointing finale that sort of skirts by you, like driving past your destination without noticing it. Viewing it in New Zealand, perhaps the most entertaining moment was when Ben Kingsley said his father was a Maori, that elicited a chuckle from the audience. But more than anything else, this is just a long and boring movie.
