Craptastic Waste and Where to Find It

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2017)

Okay, so I watched this just to see the Oscar winning costumes and Oscar nominated production design, hoping I would find more. I didn't. Colleen Atwood's and Stuart Craig's work was awesome. Otherwise, this was total crap. It was overblown dreck; so full of itself that it forgot to tell a watchable story. Eddie Redmayne was out of place, as were Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton and Jon Voight. Voight has become nothing more than a washed-up, irrelevant actor, willing to do anything for a paycheck. Morton and Farrell are so much better than this. The visual effects were nothing new or spectacular and the "cute, little beasts" were ugly and irritating. James Newton Howard's score was just average.
So, other than the sets and wardrobe, this movie sucked. Two stars for Atwood, two stars for Craig, zero for the rest of this silliness.
